oh, and i have 1 cheapo from Walmart (goodrich,$30 3 ton) and a similar 2/5ton Craftsman from Sears. The sears has lower clearance, but both get the job done. Id like to get one of those racing alum jacks that like someone else mentioned have a very low jack point.

I used a hydraulic floor jack that I bought a couple of years ago from my local Advance Auto Parts. I couldn't find pictures of it online, unfortunately. But if you have one in your neck of the woods, it is a red model with a single piece handle (that detaches from the jack). It has a round cup as the piece that fits under the car. It fit onto the plastic jacking points on my 335 e90 pretty well. I think that it cost in the neighborhood of $60.

i must have been in a daze last night, because the 3D's do not come in runflat in the 205/50/17 size. But i went with those anyways, and plan to carry a couploe FixaFlats with me. $129 per tire. They have a cool sipes system that molds together to create more contact patch on dry surfaces...ill post up when they go on, but with 50 degree weathers here lately, they might not go on for a while! which i prefer

I bought this hydrolic jack and I could not get under the jack points!! Funny thing, I had to use the jack from my camry to lift the car!

The X-iCE i have seem to be a different material, more silicone/rubber type material while the Blizzaks are more of a soft cloth like material(only way to describe it ). Anyone have experiences between these 2?

Good luck to all, now all we need is some snow!!

Here is a link to a thread I started asking for Jack recomendations. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35388 I think I will go with the harbour freight jack. I have the 20 offset ASA's and need to put them on now. I have been pushing my luck too much so far.

Thanks for the pics of the 20 offsets. I was wondering how they would look fit.

I think they fit pretty nice, I like the look of em the more and more I see em. The fact that it sticks out to the fenders is a real nice touch, it doesn't have that sucked in look. While it is not as nice as the stock wheels, it certainly looks great for 99 bucks!!! :rocks:

Thanx for the link on the jacks, I think I'm going to pick one up and switch out my winters again. Looking at the long-range forecast @ accuweather.com, we are looking at 40's 50's till christmas
