thanks just the basic 18's i use for my winter setup. Nitto 404 is not the best winter tire but it gets the job done, and great for the dry days.

as a side...
Being a unibody, the X5 has other issues when towing then the typical frame-based vehicle. For example, an F150 will stress at the tranny w/ max tow load where the X5 will stress at every hitch-to-quarter pannel connect point. At 6900lbs your at 115% max load so nothing to worry about; but in theory you could rip an X5 appart with enough load..
That said, I think the X5 may have been the first unibody to support 6000lbs - and that's awesome (also explains why the hitch is a nightmare install ). Josh

Is that 22" on your fender photoshop or actually on the body?
