Repost of my 20" Snow Shoes....
 

Pics were removed so I wanted to put them up again. If there is any question about the performance in snow, they are great. These pics are in about 10-11 inches of snow....

thats cool i have a 4.8is but use the audi in the bad weather.

The X5 looks really good in that color.

Looks good. I think I see a Vette on the four post lift? :)

Anyway, the only way I would have drive out in 11" of snow with 20" rims and tires would be to have the Jeep 4x4 follow me with the winch. :D :D

Well, my X is my winter/bad weather vehicle and those are 20" Pirelli Scorpion Ice and Snow tires, NOT stock Diamaris(sp?). I have 18" snow tires also but hate going from 20's to 18's, looks like crap on a 4.6. Anyway, these 20's handle better than the 18's in the dry and have provided me with exceptional snow traction. Drove up to VT with 6" of snow on the road about a month ago and I was passing everybody.
The car on the lift is a Porsche 996tt Ruf Rturbo 550. The X fits neatly underneath :rofl:

Hey Griza, how much is that lift and how high and wide is it? any info is appreciated. Cool idea for those with limited space :rofl:

The lift was around $3400 installed. My ceiling is 12ft high in my garage so I got lucky to have the room. Because I was putting an SUV underneath, I had to get a bigger lift than normal. It is wider, longer and raises up higher than the standard lifts. I don't remeber the exact measurments to be honest. It is around 17' long and 10' wide and raises up around 7 1/2'. I don't have it at its highest point, it goes up another 6 inches or so. The roof of the Porsche is probably about 6" from the ceiling but I have a light right there so I can't raise it up any further.
If you are interested in a lift, google Bend-pak and they will give you an installer in your area.

Are you concerned with fluids dripping from the p-car onto your X?

There are 3 drip tray's under the Porsche that come with the lift. I have two under the engine/tranny and one upfront. You can slide them to wherever you need them to be.

great idea...
