Those rims are SWEET! :thumbup:

Yeah, OK, they LOOK great (as all of your mods always do!) But how do those massive 315s/35s 'winter tires' actually do in the snow? And by the way, how did you manage to fit 10.5s in the front? My research indicated that this was not possible... or at least not advisable. :dunno:

DinanX5, I'm looking at www.tirerack.com on a 2004 X5 4.4i (pretty much the same car as yours) and 20x10.5 all around is fine. Even 21x10.5 all around is fine. However the tire sizes they suggest aren't the same as 315/35/20 all around.

Tirerack says:
20x10.5 = 295/40/20
21x10.5 = 285/35/21

Nope, 20x10.5's will fit fine with 315's all around. No rubbing or any other mechanical issues. Dinan actually considered to sell their supercharged 4.6 kit with 315's all around but decided against due to supply issues of 315's .
Oh and I am not using the 315's in "real" snow, I still have a set of winter wheels/tires when we get more than mice knee deep snow :) . I am just lucky to live across the road of a very good tireshop where I can have my wheels/tire changed in F1 pit stop style :thumbup:
