Front window tint is photoshopped in this photo. Rear windows are factory. Just wanted to see what matching tints would look like

Here is a pic how mine is done... not 100% but as close as I could get it (and still be legal). Factory back and 30% front.

Ended up not doing it. Tints plus no front plates will give cops 2 reasons to pull me over here.

Considering the front windshield lets in a lot light, no matter how dark you tint the fronts, it will be difficult to match the rears.

Looks, thanks for the example! And good points by the others too (light will make it hard to match and illegal tint is always a risk with getting pulled over and having a fix it ticket). I'll make a decision when I get back to SC next Spring, but am thinking ~25% for the fronts.

thanks for the confirm. You're the only once I've talked to that confirmed proper fitment. There's a european ski forum that discussed using the 265 on the OEM X5 315/35/20 tire. Someone claims the chains appear too small after install. But it didn't seem like an actual problem and there were no reported problems. The next size up, was way too big for the X5 tire.
So your chains didn't scuff up your wheels or rubbed against any body/suspension/brake parts? http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j...032474&cad=rjt Based on the spec sheet, it's too large for the front. 31/11.50 - 15 235/85 - 16 265/70 - 16 265/65 - 17 275/60 - 17 255/60 - 18 265/60 - 18 255/55 - 19 265/50 - 19 285/45 - 19 255/50 - 20 265/45 - 20 275/45 - 20 295/40 - 20 315/35 - 20 265/40 - 21 265/45 - 21 295/35 - 21
