from 18"s to 19" staggerd 04 4.4 sports

[bgnmi]

I have 2004 4.4i sports package. I bought it used and it came with 18's.
I am wondering about the 19 staggered that is listed as oem. What are the pros and cons of switching to the 19"s? Also do I need to mod the car or can they be just bolted on.

thx

if they are OEM, they should just bolt on...

on my 04 3.0, i went from 17s to 20s (oem style 87) and the con is very minimal, steering is heavier, but other than that its all pros....

I upgraded from 18" to 20" OEMs, and there are absolutely no cons. The ride with the 20s are a little firmer, and everything feels more stable. Go for it!! You will love the new look and feel!!

the 19 will be wider and wider still in back.
No issues?

No problem with 19.
The wider of 19" 295 rear still too skinny for the X5

might as well go oem twenties!!! dont forget to get an alignment if you just bought the truck and are putting on new tires.
