Personally, I would remove that side Xdrive 50i badge to make it cleaner.

DriveWFO · 04-01-2015, 04:47 PM

Don't want to de-badge anything. Next will be installing gloss black grills.

Have fun with that

I just swapped mine last weekend

Looks Great. Will you share the tire sizes your running and the offsets of the wheels?

Nice choice man, looks great!

Front- 22x10.5 ET38
295/30-22

Rear- 22x12 ET25
335/25-22

We're you hesitant about 22's at all ?

I'm still torn between 21-22's but I hear prices for tires in 21's are a lot more $$$ and hard to come by

Are you happy with the ride ?

Thanks

I think the 22" are the perfect sized wheels for our X5. It gives the F15 an aggressive stance. My 20" wheels look too tiny

I was hesitant as well, but decided to take a leap of faith. I am pleasantly surprised with the ride quality on the 22s. It's similar to that of my 550i in Sport mode with the OEM 19" M-sport wheels and tires. I do have the rear air suspension, so that may or may not factor into the ride quality. The noted numbness of the F15 steering seems to be a little better with the wider front tires too.

X5RIZ · 04-02-2015, 03:42 PM

Good to hear...maybe 22's it is then

I also have the rear air susp...are you thinking of lowering it at all ?

I've been hearing mixed reviews on it.

No, I don't want a lowered SUV. I think the stance is perfect as it sits

I came from a Cayenne that had 21's and the tire availability and pricing was frustrating. I was planning on going 20, but I have to admit that 22 fills out the wheel wells much better.

Thanks, Zip! Can't wait to get the gloss black grills.

Beautiful! Can't wait for my Milans next week!

HMN · 04-06-2015, 01:02 AM

They look great
but don't the 22's work the engine more?

If my aftermarket wheels and tire set up weights less than the factory set then the less unsprung mass I would say it's fine. Usually when they weight more (5-8lbs minimum) in each corner it bogs down motors in the long term.
