Attached are pics of mine maxed out on VTF (sorry for the dirty car lol, but been extremely busy these days). It's on the staggered 611m with 12mm spacers upfront and 20mm spacers in the rear (thanks r33_RGSport!). The rear could use 325 tires (currently on 315) to make it looks more flushed, but I'll burn this set out first.

That stance is perfect! Thanks for sharing. Funny you mention the tires too. I think all the tires (at least on the staggered 20s) are not wide enough. They almost looks like the wrong size because of how stretched they look.

Haha, thank you!

Yea, it's just that 611m's OEM tire size is only available in P-zero summer (literally, I think there is only 1 option). Most folks run a size down for all-season (the same size used on 469m), and the majority will just look stretched in the rear. I'm waiting to switch to DWS06+ after this set is balded since Conti's sidewalls are a bit more rounded, but we'll see how that fits lol... I think this is even more important on lowered X5s since the car's profile will look better with meaty sidewalls.

Also, I just ordered a set of 30mm spacers for the rear from Ben to replicate a 20mm front-30mm rear fitment from another forum post, so the stance will change for the better !

Hello
Is the ride on Eibach better than stock?
I'm also changing struts, going to the Bilsterin B6s
This is on an F16
Any feedback appreciated
