^I would have to agree. I still need to order mine.... ECS Tunning has some for $140. They come with the second set of Lug-Studs you will need to secure the spacer to the hub and then use your stock Lug-Studs to secure the wheel to spacer.

Other than the stripes down the hood I'm feeling your idea in the sketch.

The H&R Spacers found HERE (the ones linked in the quote) are a super popular size for the E53. I think a spacer between 20mm and 30mm would really set off your truck! If you need help figuring out what you need feel free to send me a PM and I'll help work with you to get just the right spacers for your SAV!

Do you have a rear lip spoiler already?

I like the body color on the rims. However, if those are original 87s, I'd leave them alone. Go buy some wider wheels (nice deep dish look) and put the widest tires that could fit on the rear. You still might have to get spacers.

Nice wheels/tires really make the largest impact.

Good luck.

Any suggestion or wheels off the top of your head? Have not seen too many that are real wide and deep dish... I saw a mesh looking wheel from DPE that guy put on his 4.8is some time back looked nice

I hear you. I haven't seen any real wide either and most are 22s - which I'm not a fan of.

Probably some kind of mesh/BBS wheel would be the most common. Here are some I found that I liked but all these are 22s though. I think they're all HRE wheels.

Nice black (six spokes)


Not black (5 spokes)


Nice on red (mesh)

I know the owner of DPE through a friend. He has a set of those but the newer verison laying around for $3,300 w/o tires of caurse... I actually REALLY like those HRE what model number are those?

I'm not sure of the 3 model numbers but I'm sure they would be easy to find on google. I'll try and look them up.

The 5 spokes were being sold in the for sale section. They might still be for sale so go check if those are the ones you want.

A lot of guys are running 20mm in the front and 30mm in the rear. But I highly suggest measuring using the template found HERE, using those measurements we can better figure out how extreme you can go on your X!
