Wheel Archs/Rolled help plz :) BMW X5 Alloys
« on: 07 September 2012, 13:07 »
Hello chaps. I just out sum BMW X5 wheels on my MK4 3dr. There 19inch on stretched tyres. They are 20mm spaced out all round.

I think the back ones stick out like 8mm. And front ones about 5mm. Not exactly shore. Will get ovs up tonite. Sooo basicly. In few months I'll be lowering her in coilys. Do I need to get my arches "pulled/rolled" ??? I dunno  :laugh:  this part isn't my specialty haha. But I presume it will fit "PUKA" once it's lowerd... And tucked rite on the arch?

Thanku.

PS il get pics of my Rims on tonite. There 9.5j & 10j I think. FAAT.  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Personally I'd go down to 15mm spacers if you can and pull the wheel in a bit

Yea. Slamming it is my goal. Just didn't no if I needed my arches rolled or sumit. I'm not very clued up on tht. So rekon I should sell my rear 20mm PCD adaptor for a 15mm one? I think thts a good call tbf. Does tht mean I won't have to do any bodywork to my arches and tht?  :laugh:
