Ok, so had a few moments to spare and decided to get some pics. However, lack of planning from my side meant i went to take pics with an almost dead camera. Did get a few though...
You will notice 2 custom bits and the wheels... 1. 19inch OEM BMW X5 wheels (9j Front, 10j Rear) wrapped in 235 35 19 (Front) and 265 30 19 (Rear). Coupled with appropriate sized spacers to make the wheels fit. 2. Medium Gloss black Tail Pipes 3. Kidney grilles painted in Saphire Metallic to match the rest of the car. Center of grille was left in OEM black. Pics: Concave :inlove: Tail Pipes raise: Grilles :idea: Comments welcome!!! Enjoy...

Very nice. Colormatched front grille looks really good. I think it would look more aggressive if you add black-line taillights. Eventhough current full red is quite cool looking too. I know front spacer size, but which one you ended up at rear 15, 18 or 20mm?

Actually, running the 16mm in front and 15mm at the back. Works perfect, no rubbing at all. Even had a fully loaded car doing a 1500km trip. Not an issue...

Hi Guys,
Pic by one of the photographers at the Breakfast run yesterday: No real updates. However, she just ticked over the 170 000km mark over the weekend so im going to send her in for some Preventative maintenence soon. Starting off with an Oil and filters change. Then, a good go through in terms of suspension. Thanks Arbee

Very nice! I've bought the same wheels. Also based on your pictures. :-) I'm planning on running 15-18mm spacers up front and 20mm on the rear.

I had 20mm rear at first, but with one passenger they rubbed a bit. If you on stock suspension, 15mm is perfect. No rubbing at all. Even with full load. At present, i have 15mm all around.

Fancy bumping into you here Mr Arbee!!
New wheels are good, but why did you change from the M3 wheels?! Thought they really suited your car!! |

I let a professional do the work.
He used a wheel arch roller. First he removed the liner and heated up the arches. Then he used this device (not my car). Here you can see the result of my car: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=837429 I can now run 19x9.5 ET16 with 255/30/19 tyres without any rubbing. |

Actually now remember you said something along those lines - still really was a great look for the car, but as they say, change is like a holiday!
