Just got 20's!
I just replaced my 18" stock wheels with a staggered set of 20" style 87s for my 2006 4.4. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Makes the X5 look like a new ride! Anyway, what would be the recommended tire pressure? The BMW manual says 32psi, the BMW dealer says 38 psi front, 42 psi rear (seems a bit high). I want to get this right since those Michelins are not cheap to replace. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Don

^^ hey zerochief. Kinda off-topic, but how low did you drop your X? I need mine that low. The Eibach Pro-Kit springs I have just aren't low enough.

Zerochief
Planning on posting a few picts this weekend. Zerochief, the titanium trim you installed looks killer! Aside from the center console being a pain in the *#@ to remove, how tough was it replacing your the trim? Does the old trim simply "snap" out? Also, my X5 has the adaptive xenon headlights already; can I simply upgrade the lens only to get the clear Euro look, or do I have to buy the whole headlight assembly? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm quickly becomming addicted to this forum. Thanks again for the help. Don

It depends on what the tire size is for your 20's. It will say max psi on there. you wanna go about 8 psi below that number. I have 275/40/20 on mine and max is 50 psi...I put 42 in mine.
