what's that called again? the toe or chamber...angle?:confused: ...something like that...

ummm...i have no clue then...but if they are abnormally wearing on one side of the tire, it wouldn't hurt to rotate i guess...:thumbup:

That is because they have a -1.5 camber on them so that the car will handle better and not tend to drift on the freeway.

when it's negative...is it tilting in or out?

GL,mD

So 19" staggered is 9"/10". 20" staggered is 9.5"/10.5". Any exception?

If I go 19" staggered 9"/10", which tires are recommeded? Currently my 2006 X5 3.0 has stocking 18" comes with sport package.

How often do you replace your tires?

Negative is pointing in at the top.

I have the OEM 19's for sale if you want them. Some of them have slight curb damage. Not that bad if you want them fixed though. I think it is like 200 a wheel to get fixed. They come back perfect like new.

I replaced them at 30,000 miles. Fronts still had good tread left, rears were bald in the back from the negative camber.

Thanks for your offer. :) My 06' X5 3.0 currently has 7k miles. Changing wheels and tires are not in high priority. Also, I am still debating about whether to sell my 3.0 and find a 4.4 or not.
