Nice pictures from a very nice car! Hope you can make some sense from the Dutch language, I'm sure you can post your questions in English and we'll be able to understand you perfectly :D
I have only one problem and it is a catalyst (it's very noisy). Must be replaced, but I do not know with what.
The original is very expensive - 1300EUR. :?
On behalve of me too, welcome at this forum.
I think to get affordable parts for an XM will take some search as they were originally not sold in your country. I know from Hungaria that carshops could get their hands on replacement parts (either original or not) but went to Germany or Italy to buy it there. And that could take weeks. :roll:
Still a lot of money though. But it's available. From my car (same model/engine/gearbos as yours) the last silencer is not as good as I want it to be. But I've not found a replacement yet....

In Bulgaria have Citroen dealer. I ordered parts only from there, but wait 10 days for delivery from France.
Three months ago I renewed my exhaust generation - original. The car is very quiet now, but the catalyst started to be destroyed and hear a ringing sound :problem:

Coolman, this is NOT an original catalyst converter for ES9 but a UK build
OEM similar one (hence Uni-Fit). The quality is not the same as Citroën. It didn't last on my
ES9 for longer than 2 years and then the annual test failed.
It's up to you if you want to buy it or not.
BTW, I know from experience that it is the same one is this one: http://cgi.ebay.it/Catalytic-Converter-Citroen-Xm-3-0I-24V-97-00-/20059…
That is my Car :wink:
The 38 is a bit too far actually. I had to widen a LITTLE. 43 WOULD BE BETTER i THINK, OR MAYBE 40 WILL DO THE TRICK.
33 ISN'T POSSIBLE I THINK...
I meant that the ET 33 probably won't fit on a Xm.
On this picture you can see how `wide´ the wheels go with ET 38, go even further and it won´t fit
On 8J ET33 it's more 5mm out!
BasisBIX zegt:
I have 17" 7J ET40 wheels and they fit without any problems.
So I think that 8J and ET40 will also fit without problems, but I dont know for sure. :wink:

18" 8J Offset 33 from Citroen C5 X7
Do you think that rims will be fit on XM2 ?
For 8J Offset 38 I know is not problem but 33 :wtf:
This rims is 8J ET38
but this is 8J ET33 from C6... maybe :problem:
Thank you
Re: CoolMaN - Citroen XM 3.0 V6 24V (1999)
The 38 is a bit too far actually. I had to widen a LITTLE. 43 WOULD BE BETTER i THINK, OR MAYBE 40 WILL DO THE TRICK.
33 ISN'T POSSIBLE I THINK...
Re: CoolMaN - Citroen XM 3.0 V6 24V (1999)
Hi, but this rims is from C6 - 18" 8J ET33 :wtf:
very strange...
Re: CoolMaN - Citroen XM 3.0 V6 24V (1999)
Off course the size does exist :wink:
On this picture you can see how `wide´ the wheels go with ET 38, go even further and it won´t fit

Re: CoolMaN - Citroen XM 3.0 V6 24V (1999)
I have 17" 7J ET40 wheels and they fit without any problems.
With the car in the lowest position I can put my little finger round the outside.
On the inside of the wheel is a bit more space.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0x0kUzw5J0M/Tos5LLG9b3I/AAAAAAAAEgg/…
So I think that 8J and ET40 will also fit without problems, but I dont know for sure. :wink:
Re: CoolMaN - Citroen XM 3.0 V6 24V (1999)
On 8J ET33 it's more 5mm out!
Yes, with 8J ET40 will fit without problems.
BasisBIX what's your tires size ?
I use this calculator
http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp
and start from 6J ET43 (original XM rims).
Thank you boys. :wink:
I will look for other wheels, maybe TOMASON TN4 7,5J ET42

Re: CoolMaN - Citroen XM 3.0 V6 24V (1999)
Re: CoolMaN - Citroen XM 3.0 V6 24V (1999)
If your disks is 276mm you can add +2 to +4 point to end ET.
5.5J - ET from 19 to 37
6J - ET from 13 to 43
6.5J - ET from 19 to 49
7J - ET from 26 to 56
7.5J - ET from 32 to 54
8J - ET from 38 to 48
I hope to be helpful in the selection of wheels :wink:
Re: CoolMaN - Citroen XM 3.0 V6 24V (1999)
I found this image in your forum
Do you know who is the owner of the car?
I have question to him, how fit this alloy wheels from C6 to XM.
Thank you.
