What's the ride like with those low profile tyres on? Are you having to avoid all the pot holes?

I'll bet you only look at the pictures when you read magazines too, Dave... :confused: :tsk: ;)

These thing are nice. The only problem is the tires.They were advertised on ebay as 22x10 with 265/30/22 (all four). 2 were as decribed but the other 2 are 22x11 with 295/25/22.

The 30 series up front are a little small but ok
The 25 series is just too small , so I think I'am going to buy some new rear tires.
I was thinking maybe 295/35/22 or 305/30/22.

Anyway I would appreciate any input.
And I'll post some pics tomorrow.

BTW my X is getting lowered next week if it any help choosing a size.

Your tyre sizes are all wrong!The 265/30 and the 295/25 both give you equivalent ride height (just +3mm on the front)on the front and on the rear.However ,in relation to oem specs ,you are rollong diametre is TOO low!You are riding on 709mm on the front and 706 on the rear,compared to the OEM 737mm all round!
The tyres you suggest.295/35 will give you a 765mm and the 305/30 ,742.So,if you were to fit either of these tyres on the rear your X would look like a dragster and you will have all kind of speedo reading problems and ABS sensors errors!
Although not correct ,the most practical size to use with 22" is the 285/35(758mm) all round.If you want a wider rear tyre like the 305/30 you will need on the front 265/35.

I hope you get the endlinks soon. They will sick once it's lowered. Great choice of wheels

Wow theyre effing beautiful! Hot rims man!

I thought the 22" only went up to 10.5 width on the Breyton. I know they have a 23x11.

Do they make a 22x11 now?

those low profiles are nutso. U need a serious drop to correct that gap.

Josh4.6...... your right my mistake they re 22x9 and 22x10

Thanks for all the compliments everyone but I got some bad news.
Last night I was coming home from a BBQ and I smoked a chunk of concrete that was just sitting in the road. (I was paying attention)
The front passengers rim had a small chip but the rear hit so hard it made a crack in the center of the rim about 3 inchs long.

Anyway I have the OEM one on while the other one gets repaired. The guy said its not that bad because it hit dead center of the rim so no edges have to be repolished.
He said it should cost between 100 and 200 dollars and have it back to me by Wednesday closing time.

Looks like new tires are at the top of the list for me. LOL

Who's doing the repair?
