Mounting Replica rims
I am looking at replacing my dated 18 inch rims on 2000 4.4i. I found a place in Canada 1010 tires that ships locally. Anyone purchased from them?
I will probably buy the 20 inch staggered 87's with Toyo Proxy 315/35/20 and 275/40/ 20 setup. Is there any spacers or other installation materials I would need or should they just bolt on. I often change my own tires at home but have never had the X5 up on a jack yet. Any suggestions or input appreciated. I have been looking into replica wheels for a while and this seems like the best setup for the money. |
They should just bolt on. I have a 3.0 and the same week i got the x5 i got 20" style 132 replicas on it with the same Toyo proxes 315/35/20 and 275/40/20. Both bolted on without a hitch...been using it ever since...good luck!
Post some pics when you got them on! |
Thanks, anyone have advice on 295/40/20 's all around vs the staggered setup 315/35/20 275/40/20.
I may try and drive them in winter but will keep my original all seasons. Both look great , the 295/40/20 setup is slightly less expensive. |
go with the staggered setup. 315s in the back is awsome.
Being in canada, i would not drive these in the winter. Such a wide footprint, your traction is going to be horrible. |
I have staggered style 87's... just mounted 2 weeks ago - I REALLY LIKE THEM - the look and the feel! :smokin:

Thanks for all the input. I love the pics of the staggered rims. I will likely get the staggered setup. I will try and do a before and after pic of my X5.
Original 2000 4.4 with no current mods. Plan on changing to clear lights all around new 20 inch rims. Should make a huge difference in appearance. I only have 30000 miles and in great shape mechanically so plan to keep her for years to come . |

Took the plunge and ordered the staggered setup. I think it is the same as Zerochief's pics. 315/35/20 and 275/40/20 Toyo Proxy ST. That pic looks great.Can't wait for all the snow to melt and get them mounted. Thanks again.
