Post Pics of Your Wheel & Tire Combo!!
 

There are so many questions about what wheels and tires to choose. Online retail sites and 'configurators' don't give a true sense of what works and what looks best. Post pics of your wheels and tires here!!

ekvals, where did you purchase those wheels? I'm looking at buying 214's but a bit concerned about getting reps...

Attachment 37451 168 replica :thumbup: love them

Attachment 37452 1 more

Reps are usually heavier, correct?

Hi.

I got mine from a place called wheelbase in Britain.. They fit straight on to the e53 without hub rings.

They might be heavier then OEM as metioned, but i have never compared them.. Im very happy about my replica rims.. Especially when considdering that getting the OEM here in Norway would be 4-5 times the price.

Pirelli Scorpion ATR 235/65R17. Works great around here.

Wheel and tire pic!
 

Hi Guys,

This is an old pic of our first X...2002 3.0. 22's are not our favorite anymore and we're looking to get some 87's if anyone is selling!!!

Thanks and enjoy!:thumbup:

OEM Style 168, with Michelin Latitude HP's. These tires have worked the best for me. Smooth and quiet for many miles.

I have a summer set of Style 57's and a winter set of style 57's now. :bustingup Not much of a change through the seasons but the price for the second set was too good to pass up.

Would anyone have a pic of a set of 168's painted black on a titanium silver X5? seriously thinking of painting mine.

Wheel Bore Job
 

Hello
I have a set of OEM 212 wheels and tires for a E71/X6 that I have been trying to sell. SInce BMW made the bore openings for the rear wheels 72.56 and the front bore 74, I am having a hard time selling them. I see that you had your bores increased for your ride.

Can you give me a ballpark idea of what the bore job cost you, so I can give potential buyers what they can expect to pay to have the same thing done to these 212's.

Thanks

My Black Beast..
 

I have gone through some wheels until I found the right ones (per me). But at least that will give some of the fellow X5ers. :thumbup:

ps. I have a set of OEM, style 168 excellent condition wheels 4 sale, let me know if anyone is interested. looking to get 1300. +shipping.

Satin Black Style 57 Winter Setup.
 

Bought these style 57's specifically for winter duty and mounted new Bridgestone Blizzak DM-Z3's in 235mm width. The wheels were silver but the clear coat was real chalky. I fixed that with a nice coat of Satin Black Polyurethane I sprayed at work. Love the look and it easy to maintain. Used these last winter for about 4-5 months. Came across a fellow BMW club member this fall that traded his E53 for a new E70. He had a set of Winter Wheels and tires that didn't go with his trade, so I bought them. So....the Satin Black wheels (pictured below) I am letting them go after only 4-5 months of use. I'm in Nebraska and willing to ship. Anything over $600 + shipping for wheels and tires is fine. PM me if you have interest.....<bmwm591 at neb dot rr dot com>.

So that's a 214 replica in gloss black??

I'd bet those would look killer on my Imola red 4.8is.

Those kinda look like the rotors I have, are they slotted rotors from brakeperformance.com?

I am looking for a real "live" example with this combo.

Beige with black rims. Got this of a configurator but it's not convinsing me...

Has anyone tried these on an e53? Will they fit?Attachment 57601

I'm still wanting to trade my 4.8is wheels for a set of 4.6is wheels: used Michelins, a bit of rash on one wheel, others are ok.

The offset on those may make it difficult. Style 333m is a similar wheel with the correct offsets for the x5.

18” style 209 with the Dueler HP 255/55 RFT - pic taken last week on Tioga Pass (HWY 120) - Yosemite still not open but able to drive up to the gate - not closed - just not plowed. Ride not bad but started having issues with right rear losing air - at least I have tire/wheel protection.

I have an eibach lowering kit in the mail as well.

Beautiful! What lowering kit did you order!? Link?

Thanks! I found an eibach kit on eBay. It's actually just the front coils though, so I'll need to code the rear or make some new links for it.

Your set up is the best, sir!..

October 2013.

Style 168 replicas in factory offsets/widths (staggered 20s) with Toyo Proxes STII tires all around, great tire and I love these wheels. Will be painting calipers black in the coming weeks with G2 caliper paint kit.

You have air suspension.....you could have at least put it in access (aka picture) mode!! geez!:rofl:

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?

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
 

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.

Nice winter shoes.

Tchwenty Fauxs

What size are the wheels and tires?

They are all 275/25/24

:rofl:

Hope your trunk is loaded with sub woofer to make the best impression when rolling around. :bustingup

The ride must be terrible as well. 275 is smaller that OEM front tires with 25% damping. :thumbup:

Perhaps I'm missing something but a 275 is the widest OEM size that was offered for the E53? (275/40/20)

Sidewall on the other hand is a different story.......

315/35/20 was offered for the rears.

Nice look, 20s are about the limit for E53s.

These remind me of a set of Racing Dynamic wheels a co-worked had on his E36 ///M3. Clean look for sure!

:iagree:. Unless you rock a set of dished out HRE's like Wuzin back in the day.... then (and only then) 22's are acceptable.

As per my previous post.

need some better side profile pics

Can't go wrong with lipped HRE "Y" spoke wheels on an X. Killer look!

I would think the combination of heavy wheel/tire combo & small sidewall made for wonky dynamics on less then perfect roads.

One of my favorite E53's, I have these pics as wallpapers on my computer. Now that I've got an almost similar looking X5...same color, iForged 20's with similar spokes...I'm even happier I can see it in my garage everyday :D

Mine sits like your black one does. You using BC Racing coilovers?

I did my first X5 in these X6M wheels, staggered 20x9 and 20x11. Got them as reps on eBay for like $1400 shipped and they were perfect.

That doesn't look to bad actually for being 22's. I've been looking at the eBay 4.6is kits for my 4.4, which means it'd come w/ rear fender flares that I'd either install and have to get wheel spacers or just leave the flares off.

EDIT - I just looked on Google and the spokes are coming up differently. Are you sure they're AF126's?

The Wheels in that particular photo are 23 inch AC Schnitzer VIII Forged 23X11 23X12.

The other two photos are the 22 inch asanti af126.

Ahh...do you happen to have a link of where you purchased them? How do they ride? I'm pretty happy w/ my iForged 20's and how low I've lowered it, but I'm always entertaining change.

The ride is great. I though it would be harsh because of the low profile, but it actually feels similar to the stock 20. It handles like it is on rails with the 315's. The rims are really lightweight for their size they have forged centers and forged spun barrels for added strength. I orginally purchased the rims for a x5m, So I had to install them with 74.1 to 72.6 Hubcentric rings in the front. The rear hubs are the same size but you will need 30mm spacers to allow a 12 inch wide rim to fit the rear.


i purchased from Bann velgen here is the link Baan Velgen - AC Schnitzer Type VIII Racing

Here is another option but thet are selling over price but they are located in the United States.

Wheels are looking great guys!

Wheel fitment question.... Aplogize if this is in the wrong section, but I've tried to find some info on this, but nothing specific, so I'm hoping here, where folks have done allot of trial and error that maybe someone knows the answer....

I have a 2013 X5 (E70) Premium with the stock 255/50/19's on it and I'm trying to see if I purchase a set of 20's from a 2014 (F15) M Sport if they will fit or if I'll have any issues.

I know the bolt pattern is the same, so I'm good there, I know that the factory TPMS has changed from 2013-2014 so I'll need to re-use or order another set of TPMS, and I'm sure I'll need to get a set of factory wheel arches, but I'm more interested to see if anyone has done a set of 2014 20's from an F15 and put them on a 2013 E70.

If anyone can help who has info on this or may have done this already it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Just for the record, I'm thinking of doing a set of 451M wheels from a 2014 X5 (F15).

Thanks kindly!!!

What you need to know is if the center bore, or hub bore of the wheel is the same. The answer is "yes". The hub bore is 74.1mm, as long as it is not an "M" car.

Next you need to find out the off set of the wheel ...

275/40/20 winters
 

Love these winter tires and the wheels that happened to come with them (from an Xoutposter leaving the fold).

I threw out the crappy 19" Bridgestones (rubbish RFTs) and bought a set of super cheap Pirellis for the summer from Tirerack ($600 shipped). Those are sitting in the garage ready to roll once the temps go up.

So now I am probably the only one upsizing in the winter..... :D

What wheels are those?

I love this style wheel. I'm guessing that these are aftermarket wheels, but would you be so kind as to let us know how they ride now that you've had them on for a while.

As well as where you got them from, the cost and the actual sizes. I love the look of the 20" wheels with the wheel flares, but these look like you can fit the 275/315 tires on these wheels and keep them inside the original fenders.

Please let us know if you've noticed any high speed vibration or rubbing when making tight turns etc...

They look great on your car, with the color, tinted windows etc... :thumbup:

Thanks!

Very nice man. Love those wheels. What kind are they?

I believe they're ADV.1's. He's since sold the truck and picked up an X1 w/ the N55 that he's modding.

:tsk:

Why X1? I love what he did with his X5 though....maybe he got new tricks?

He'd explain better but I think it came down to getting a smaller SUV then it's got a much larger aftermarket...he basically did all he could to it minus built engine.

Newbie...tire upgrade help
 

We just picked up this 2011 X5 with 19" factory wheels. We are going to powder coat the wheels black. We would also like to go wider and lower with tires. It currently has the stock 255/50-19.

What would you suggest to get a lower sidewall and wider tire?
