DOH! I should have, on my next official photo shoot I'll drop it some, been contemplating lowering regular height about 3/4" for regular driving as well :)

3/4" to 1" would be about the same ballpark as my normal ride height with the lowest mode being ~3/8" below that. My lowest mode is a bit too low for safe everyday driving (it's best suited for creepin by the club or through a parking lot) while my driving height is still low enough to look 'proper' while maintaining enough travel of the dampers for safe everyday operation.

I can always grab measurements, but just from eyeing it out, it sits so that the wheel gap is about the same all away around the rear arch, with the front about the same. The front will look a bit lower because of the wheel arch design, but the X sits level.

does anyone have m sport 650i wheels on their x5?

X5SND 12-14-2013 05:28 PM

Style 373? I would venture to say probably not....at 8.5" F and 9" R widths, they're going to be too narrow for most wanting 'that stance' you see on most X's. Nice looking wheels though!

How do you like those tires? I bought my current X5 with some no name tires, terrible sidewall buckling...I'm almost afraid they'd come off while driving aggressively to Bimmerfest 2014

Driving 95% of the time on rough city streets they're better than the Dueler HP's I had previously, and for that I love them. The other 5% on the highway and through "spirited" driving spurts....no so much. They defintely dont provide the same high speed & cornering stability that the duelers did.

The "all season" aspect is irrelevant in my case as I have dedicated blizzaks for the winter months. Oh, and lastly....the duelers looks WAY more bad ass than the DWS. The square shoulder made them look even wider!

I'd be on the fence about buying the DWS again.

Winter Wheels and Tires
 
4 Attachment(s)
Since its winter, I figured I would post some pics of my Winter Wheels and Tire setup. Wheels are Elbrus 105 (silver with machined face) wrapped with the brand new, just released for 2013 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV in 255/55-18. I attached a couple of pictures after the first light snow of the season.

If you haven't read anything on these new snows, here is a link for info. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV

So far, these are the best snow tires I've ever owned. Have had Blizzak LM-25 4x4's, Hankook i-pikes and now these. Its not even fair driving on the snow and ice. Rarely does the anti-lock kick in...it just stops with no drama. Grip is incredible accelerating and turning as well. My summer use Michelin Lattitude HP Tours' are awesome, but as with any all-season tire, there is a compromise in every season. They are ok in light snow but once you have dedicated snow tires, you will never want to use anything but them in the snow.
