Wheels Power Coated/WheelsSpacer/A/S tires installed

Wheels Power Coated Gold.
Wheels Spacer H&R Front 15mm/ Rear 12mm.
Front tires - Pirelli Vedere 285/40/21.
Rear Tires - Pirelli Vedere 315/35/21.
Dynan Spring .75 Drop.
Plus handling kit.
xHP Transmission Tune Stage 2.

The A/S rides much smoother than the OEM.

Front wheel rubs when it's fully turned and backing only.

Any other turn turn and speed is normal/not rubbing.

That 40 up front make the wheel look bigger than the rear. Why run the tires like that? That rear diffuser seems to leave some serious gap, is the fitment bad? I like the gold/blue look, reminds me of my Subaru days…

well...all you guys know,its not much A/S tires available out there for 21 inch.
I didn't want to buy a new set of winter rims/tires and swaps twice every year.
Pirelli scorpions vedere were the only tires that might work so I gave as shot.
I wasn't concerned about the tire looking big,I went for comfort,I'm glad I did! The ride is smoother and fill less bumpy over oem tire totally worth it for me.
Yeaa..I stiil need to do some adjustments for the rear diffuser.
thanks guys!

Awesome man, overall the look is great, as you said, some fine tuning. As long as you love it and comfort is on point, you're killing it.

Love the truck, wheels and all the color combos....perfect. But those front tires need to be addressed as it looks really really awkward. Reminds me of a front wheel drive Civic at the dragstrip. Given all the of the X6M's with winter setups, and never before seeing such a condition, it can't be impossible to get it right. You are 99.9999% away from perfection...fix it.

The tires look fine to me... the real problem is the color of the wheels and monster lip don't look right

The gloss black wheels have been done a million times, but they look good. A little more drop. Black mirrors, amber delete.
