Finally, pics of my 06 3.0 Man Trans & Aero Pkg & 20's

The tires are 295/45/20's and they are $133/each on Tire Rack. Awesome tires!!! They fill up the wheel well much better than the 275/40/20's and give a better ride because of more sidewall. The day I brought my X5 home I unbolted the calipers and painted them with red caliper paint. Since these pics I added a bug shield I bought at my dealer and the chrome trim around the headlights that looks really good. I'll get pics of that tomorrow. I also added an air induction system and removed the resonator. What else can I do???

looks like a General Tire "Grabber UHP"

Really good price... How do you like them? Been in the rain yet?

Also what did you use for cailiper paint?

Yeah, they are general grabbers. They do very, very well in the rain. I have no complaints on these tires at all! When winter comes back again here in Northern Wisconsin (250+ inches lake effect per year!) I'll put the 17's back on for sure. For caliper paint I went to Wal-Mart and bought one can of spray caliper paint. Don't remember what brand though.
