20" winter setup and 4.8 tips.
 
Here are a few pics of my 20s winter. They're style 87 replica 20x9.5 all around with 275/40/20 ice & snow. Had them on since last week just in time for the first snow fall yesterday. As expected they're not as sure footed as my previous 18" setup but for my purposes they'll do the job. The wider footprints certainly do not slide through packed snow as efficiently as narrower 18s and 17s. However I'm much happier with their appearance. Once you go 20 you just can't go back. :) Oh they're missing BMW center caps which will go on soon.

Also check out my newly welded-on 4.8 square tips. The dual round tips of the Eisenmann were chopped off. The shop did a pretty good job of welding on an extension piece each side.

Thanks. I got those Euro headlights last year for around $700 on ebay. I think they're way more expensive now.

Your X looks great, 20's are the way to go summer and winter!! Looks like you and me both will be doing our best to avoid the winter potholes. Best of luck, great setup :thumbup:

Nice setup, breytonX5. The exhaust tips look good too. Is that the driveway of your new crib?
