Hello.
Apologize for the newbie question... I have a stock '18 3.5 X Drive. 1. Would any modifications to suspension etc. be needed to fit these? 2. Given they are 21" (vs my current 19") do they require low profile tires and, if so, does that result in harder / firmer ride? Thanks! |

2. There are very few tire options for the 21” staggered OEM wheels. I suggest you take a look at those prior to purchasing 21” wheels. The MPSS are a fantastic option, and are not RFT. The ride quality is subjective, some blame the tires, some blame the suspension, some blame the wheel size etc. Cheers V

I ran these on my x5 35i no issues for 2 years. I used MIchelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The only issue I had was tramlining (getting stuck in ruts on the freeway, moving out of them caused excess movement). That was not the fault of the tire - it happens with this size of wheel as they are so wide (in the back). I ran RFT 19" stock wheel and run flat tire. I strongly preferred the performance and ride quality of the non run flat. |

I can't believe these are still available for only $1600 WTF!
I understand shipping is expensive right now, but I'm in Seattle, not far from the seller, and most every F15/F16 I see on the streets around here are running wimpy/turd spec OEM 18"/19" wheels... literally most every F15/F16 I see would look exponentially better with these wheels... Edit - I already have a set of 599M's, & 469M's... or I'd have bought these a lifetime ago.. GLWS Killfox91 |
