New goodies! Wheels on, suspension arrived! W/pics

Here are a few follow up pics from my previous posts. Just a short review, these wheels balanced out perfect, well nothing different than an oem wheel would do. Finish, physical appearance are great as well. The tires, as I had looked around on here found a set someone mentioned they were gonna do. Not many options in the size I was gonna run. That being said I wasn’t gonna spend 2k on tires either. I went with the Atturo az850. They are actually very quiet. To the people who like a good looking tread they are gonna be similar to your Michelin, And pirellis. They are also a pretty meaty tire as well. Below are the specs of the wheels and tires I’m running. Also the KW’s I ordered came In today and what a quality product they are. I am in fact still debating on if I wanna lower it down af all, but if not take a number if I decide to part with them. Now onto the specs.

Wheels
Front 22x10 +40
Read 22x11 +35

Tires
Atturo AZ850
Front 275/35/22
Rear 315/30/22

Looks outstanding!

OT, what tint are you running on the front windows? It appears to match the factory privacy glass really well.

Looks great. Good to hear those tires are working out so far. I had mine mounted and balanced and took minimal weight. Just haven't mounted the wheels up yet since the weather is still crap.

Are you going to get spacers? Those wheels are going to look pulled in when you lower it.

Besides being low noise, how is the tire feel?

Now you need to man up for Brembo brakes to fill those empty wheel wells

It seems good. Feels more on the ground than my oem 19s. I don’t beat on it per say. Spacers, I will if I end up lowering it. I’m still deciding. It’s kinda one of those things I’ve heard the ride is better, but I’m fine with my oem suspension. Then I’d like it about 2in lower lol what size spacers should I run?

My brakes work fine though... i don’t foresee me doing a brake upgrade. After I get rid of this I’ve waited and waited I’m gonna jump into an x5m. So that being said wheels will swap over, suspension. I’ve held off so far on a tune to give me that little extra. Overall I’m just super happy with the car. I haven’t gotten any mysterious rattles yet. Which is rare. Out of my other 2 x5s and 4-5 other bmws this one so far doesn’t rattle.

Good to hear on the tires. They do look very good compared to some of the other lesser known brand tires in similar sizes.

I totally feel ya on the lowering. I want to do it...but I don't hah. I might go with the Eibach's for a slightly lower look that should provide a slight improvement in ride and not induce a bunch of bounciness. I don't think I'll go full blown coilovers as I don't plan to drive my X5 in a way that would allow me to realize the benefit.

In terms of spacers, 15 in rear and 10 in the front should do the trick. This should get you pretty flush at stock height and will look a bit sunken in when lowered but that's probably only if you really slam it.

Funny thing is, my 22s were 42 pounds shipping weight. In the same boxes I shipped my 19s out 40 pounds shipping weight. So I’m gonna say I’m not putting anymore stress trying to slow down that bigger wheel.

I was gonna pick up some springs and probably should have. People were also telling me just do the coils. But again this thing will never be driven for what these coils are good for. I will probably post them up anyway. It may have been a stupid buy but I’m sure I’ll get my money back. They will fit the M too so should be good. That being said this is the best suspension you can buy though. Lol decisions are awful.

With the slightly taller tire we are running it really doesn't look bad at all at stock height either. It's the rubber band tires on 22s that seem to make the gap and height look worse. I'll probably leave the suspension alone this coming spring/summer season and see how I feel about it next year.

You’re right about that! I think that’s what’s bothering me is the smaller tire on the 22. That being said it’s not bad. They don’t sit super tall at all. It didn’t bother me what so ever with the oem 19 and the 255/50. That being said I’m gonna leave it. KWs are posted now. Lol.
