Some updates on my X5... pix inside

[tbal69]

Heres what it looked originally, notice back wheel, and how far wheels go in.. ugly.



H&R Spacers installed.

Front lowered with Eibach springs.

New clear tail lights , x5 badge removed, waxed.

Any suggestions? Are the wheels to much? Would 20" staggered oem wheels look better? Does the H&R Drop, lower the back and front?

Thank you for being willing to question the wheels because I think they really cheapen the otherwise good look of your X5. Especially in Vancouver, where when I see chrome wheels I think the person is trying too hard to look gangsta. It just doesn't work.

If you're thinking some 20" OEM wheels I would suggest some 4.8is or Style 177's. You can get good replicas on eBay. In fact, a friend of mine has the OEM aero kit on his X5 and with the Style 177's it looks really, really good.

OEM Look is always the best.

I would not get staggered. I would put OEM 10.5's all the way around. 87's or 177's.....

I agree with Personanongrata - 177's would be great staggered or not (I prefer staggered) Also, clearing those headlights (removing the amber and installing AE's) would kick ass! Just my $.02

^^^ i cant, its a 2003 stupid lights are sealed tight. I really would like to do staggered, i am done with the chrome look, not to mention their freakin heavy as crap...
