10.5 Inch Type 87's In The Front

[2002Silver4.6is]

I had a set of Toyo Proxes S/T's put on my rear wheels yesterday. (I will report back on any noise issues after a few thousand miles, no noise yet!)I will be doing the fronts really soon. I hate the fact that I cannot rotate the tires and I know the rear will wear faster than the fronts due to the steep angle of the camber.

Does anyone have 10.5 inch Type 87's up front? I would love to hear thoughts and see some pictures on how they look.

If anyone would want to consider a swap for a set of 2 10.5 inch OEM Type 87's let me know..... might consider it!

Yes it fits and it sticks out a bit more. Have a look at the tire size calculator on top of the page, really sweet (note the wheel too ).

I think the 315's would work out well in the front.... anyone have a pic with the 315's in the front/all the way around????

btw... nice and clean X5 ya got there!!!!!

No one runs 10.5 inch Type 87's up front??

Yes one guy does at least for track purposes. I was thinking about doing that myself, but I think I am heading to run 295's all around instead.

Thanks for the link! They look damn good....

Now, anyone want to swap their 9.5 for a set of two 10.5's???

BTW.. how do you keep the black plastic trim on your X5 so black??? It looks great!

Use forever black.
You can buy 2 10.5 replicas for very cheap.
