Sounds like great progress! The Method Racing 701's are pretty bad ass and should look and perform great. I sent some thoughts via PM regarding the lift. Tom |

Can anyone speak on how bad of a hit acceleration took on the 3.0 with the heavier tires?
Just picked up a 2004 3.0 and a set of the Style 131 18"s. Trying to decide if I should go all in on the all-terrain, or light some money on fire and have two sets, daily/camping. |

In driving on the street around town, I don't really notice much of a difference in acceleration. I am sure that my X5 accelerates slower than it did with stock tires/wheels, but whatever effect it has isn't really noticeable to me because around town I'm just not accelerating that fast to begin with. But I do notice it on the freeway when trying to accelerate to pass someone. Accelerating from 70mph to 85mph seems to take longer than before. With that being said, the 3.0 was never very "fast" or "quick" to begin with so having slightly slower than originally kind of slow acceleration isn't an issue for me but I do notice it. Is the slightly slower acceleration worth two sets of tires/wheels? Not to me. But then I'm not racing around in my X (I have a 911 street car and a real race car for that!) so the slightly slower acceleration isn't an issue for me but I understand that it might be a concern for others. The bottom line: Does the X accelerate slower with taller, heavier tires? Yes. Is it noticeable? Around town, maybe a little but not much; on the freeway, yes. Is it a big enough problem to look for a fix? No, not to me. |

I know the 3.0 isn't the quickest, I have an e92 M3 for having fun The new X is going to be another daily / weekend mountain bike rig. Was just curious if it was "terrible". But sounds like I'll be jumping in with a set of Falkens. |

I have the 4.4 and it's noticeable but no complaints. There's a big increase in road noise, and it's harder to balance the heavy all-terrains so I would take it to a quality tire shop for mounting.

Great Posts thstone,
I've been looking to add a similar set up to my 2001 5Speed Manual as well. Would you mind sharing the link where you got the wheels from? By the way, I also added the same fender flares, it took some trimming and self anchored screws to make them fit properly specially since I'm running Mud Flappers all around. |

Dang. Yeah it seems like people either say no difference at all, or night and day.
