20MM Eibach Spacers installed. PICS
20MM Eibach Spacers Installed on the back.
The wheels are now perfectly flush with the car and it looks crazy wide from the back..









Now i just need to fix that left tail light!

Thanks to X5Jay for the help in what size to get.

Looks good - just about right! Aren't you glad you didn't go with the 30's? I think it would have looked just plain wrong if you did that.... I think I'll get some 20's for myself soon... Did you notice any difference in the ride or handling? Did you put spacers up front too?

No difference in ride or handling that i could tell. I did not put spacers in the front because the wheel was already flush.. Thank god i didint get the 30s.. It would have been overkill.

Wait you have 2 X5s?
The spacers were around $130 Shipped from Autoanything.com
The install was easy, I had to pound the spacers on with a rubber hammer because it was a tight fit. Also the Nuts supplied had a smaller sized bolt, I think 17mm. But in the end everything worked out great. Very good product!!!
The other x5 in the pic is my dad's.(Hopefully someday handed down to me)

Alignment and camber adjustments are made with wheels/tires on. Nothing needs to be removed.

Since you had to go with 17mm wheel nuts take that into consideration in case you get a flat. My wheel locks from BMW are 17mm and my other 4 wheel bolts are 19mm so I carry a ratchet and 17mm socket with me.
