OP, those black wheels look sharp. Looking forward to seeing them on your X!

Got my wheels n tires mounted yesterday finally, sun was setting so not great pics but I'll grab some more later.. Did have to use hub rings on front only. (As these were off an X6). I love the offset!! Couldn't be happier, now for fender flares/ arches! Thinkin bout 1" lowering by HR as well, been eyeing a black bull bar. Also scored a silver painted OE bumper skid plate off eBay. Haven't installed yet, but I did put in the titanium grill from my 04 on this O6 since it has titanium bumper mesh anyway and I hated the chrome ring around the black grill it came with.. Thinkin I might keep a little METAL not chrome on front.. Well see how this project progresses. Thanks for all the pointers so far.. Will keep y'all posted

Definitely need to be lowered. Look more aggressive than before.

You can see in the chart below how the e70 X5M & e71 X6 have different hub size (front/rear): (btw, if for some reason I have the front/rear hub sizes wrong...please let me know so that I can edit my chart...it was hard trying to figure which axle was 72.56mm & 74.1mm)

Thats a GREAT table of offsets/wheels. Great job!!!

Funny how taste differs between people, cause I'm exact opposite of you TMV. I LOVE how high it looks. But thats why I bought my X anyhow was to be high and drive through snow no problems... Different strokes for different folks I guess :)
