My 20's are hurtin'

yeah, I would get it sooner! If your not driving much should be fine (short distance). Do you feel any vibrations or is it smooth. If you feel then get her done asap.

You need the full tank of gas to able to get the alignment done?
Oh i get it they gonna drive the shit out of your X5.

If you have air suspension it doesn't matter how much gas or people you have in the car, alignment stays the same.

That's what I do, as well. I run Proxy II's on my 20" style 87 wheels for the summer and 18" Proxy II's on style 74 wheels for the winter months.

The 18's grip much better in snow/slush than the wider 20" staggers, and they sling up less road goobers on the outside of the fenders.

.... and TreadDepot is the way to go......and if you're putting them on a 4.6is, 18" wheel is as small as you can go because of the size of the front rotor....afaik.

its a 4.4i but has the 4.6is 20's. ended up selling those x3 rims for more than double what i paid. happy with the proxes although they're .1 inches smaller in complete diameter than the michelins they look a tad thick.........
the second i got the tires on i drove home in a complete rain storm felt like a diferent vehicle... very impressive. should i get it aligned else where? dealership?
