@Fraser cheers matey for the advice, it’s not that I will take the x5 to our local mount Olympus or anything but the sports suspension is stiff@sprocket1200 hehehe
craigslist? alas I am pretty far from the u.s and shipping out the 17”alloys to Cyprus will cost me as much as the alloys, I have to look locally….@Fraser or anyone, got any pics of an x5 with the 17” alloys n the 235/65 tires look like?, also rims are narrower so do I need some kind of spacers in the rear to “push” the wheels out so they don’t look sunken into the wheel well? Thanks again and apologies for hijacking post
