Hard to see from these pictures, 1.75” between the top of the tire and the fender, at teh wheel center.

How is the ride quality at that ride height? Do you have experience with the OEM suspension? curious how it compares, thanks!

Ride quality has been great. I think it rides better than stock part of the trick is you can’t go too low in the front door it gets choppy. My car in those pictures has a rear set as low as it will go, and the front is set so that the car is level. I also do not have runflat tires, which greatly increases the ride comfort. I would not go back myself.

Thanks for the info and nice to hear the rear seems to perform well at a lower height. Regarding the rear specifically, how is the ride quality with them fully dumped, do you notice the lack of travel? I have ran KWs on other E39s and E61 with them as low as KW recommends and they performed well but you definitely could tell I was asking a lot of the strut with minimal travel to work with. Curious if its the same on the X5 or being an "SAV" with more suspension travel if the KWs offer more consistent performance regardless of ride height. Hope this makes sense!
