Advice for Wheels & Tires

Hello Guys,

Am looking to replace my 18" Wheels with 20" - as i hear tha 22" will not 100% fit- so any guide for that?
should the 4 of them be identical? or the front set are different than the rear set?
eBay has varity of choices and cheep.
is it a must to be OEM or any other aftermarket can do the same performance !!

Cheers

It depends. You can do the same on all four or go staggered - the rear wheels are wider than the front. Improves handling on curves.

OEM or not is a matter of opinion.

do you have any idea how much does OEM cost usually and if there are any contacts that you recommend?

Find a wheel style you like first, then you can compare prices. Do a search here for OEM wheels, or look on ebay. The most popular 20 inch style for E53s seem to be Style 87 and 168.

I'm not sure what's available to you locally. We do have a few Saudi members that can point you in the right direction.
