BMW X5 wheels
« on: 28 December 2011, 19:33 »
chaps,
apart from finding adapters for the wheels to fit,
realistically can you have them as a every day set of wheels??
would you have any problems having them on a car that will be lowered 30mm max??
somthing like this

Patch had something else.

Subject to clearance yes but 19"s will give you very little comfort.

dont you need to roll the arches too? sure there was a thread on this a while ago, and once you factor in everything it was quite expensive iirc.

cause the offset and being 10 j wide on the rear and you will need a decent stretch on the tyre lol

Patches old wheels was BMW CSL reps and his new ones was miro 111's

Ive got Vmr/raderwerks/Advant (all the same)

You need arch work done due to the width of the wheel and the bmw offsets
