I think I really need to order those spacers for the rear!!! ACK!!

You do need the 30mm spacers.

Spacers bring the wheels out. If there is too much gap between the fenders and the tire then you need the spacers. They fit on the hub and then you screw the wheel to the spacers. I use them when I put the 18" wheels for winter. And since the 18" wheels are not as wide as the 20" I use spacers to bring them out.

Perhaps it's just the picture, but your setup looks odd to me...

Your X is a 3.0, but it looks like you have fender flares in the back, but no running boards. It also looks like you have style 132 wheels which are 19's, yet they look so sucked in on the back - how come? My 132's don't look like that???

This is exactly why I did not install the fender flares on my 4.4i even though I have the body kit and 20" wheels. just looks too puny with the winter tires on.

I love the wide masculine look with the 20" wheels though! The wheels stick out just a touch without the fender flares and it looks bad a$$!

Actually, I have 18" style 131...

normally, I'd have the 4.6 20" wheels which I am now getting the 4.8 20" for next year... I just love the look of the 4.8... just everything, it's just too bad it's out of my price range... so instead, I'm just working on getting all the body panels and wheels...

If you look at some of the other member's 4.6/4.8's with their snow set up, you can see the same results. I read one of LeManX5's posts that showed a comparison with and without spacers.. HUGE difference... love the style 69 wheels on his X..
