Agree there is a gap on front - ! Since i don't have air suspension i guess that i would need to modify spring / chocks - is that a $big job is this affecting negatively other component ? Or get fater tires (but just bought it new not my 1st option)

Thanks for the feedback.

Wheel offset range & wheel bolt pattern is the same for all 3 X5 generations. It's the wheel hub size/center bore you have to accommodate or modify...and the wheel bolt difference is close enough to get by.
