Post pics of lowered on 20s

So I would love to get 22's except for the fact that finding tires is not easily accessible around here (and I've read there's really only 3 brand options anyways). I'm tempted to just get some coilovers (ouch on the cost) and some aftermarket 20's given that I can find tires for the 20s much quicker. Just wondering who all here has their X5's still on 20s but lowered? Would love to see some pics and details of the drop!

Thanks

21's

20's

22's

The 22's look the best. The 21 are all around the best. The 20's just look too small after you've gone bigger in size. Also if you're lowered, it feels like a sedan not an SUV with the 20's.

What drop do you have and what kind of wheels are your bottom pic? Looks great!

Also, I'm not opposed to 22's as the roads here aren't horrendous with potholes. I just don't know where I'd get 22's in a hurry if I needed to replace one. Where are yall sourcing them? Maybe I need to find an online vendor that has them regularly available....

Wow looks great. I wasn't sure if H&R 2" would have been too much compared to the 1.2" but it looks great. How's the ride quality?

u asked for 20" here they are
310M replica 20" on K&Wv3

they don't look bad at all, this is my winter set, I usually run BBS 22" wheels in the summer but since one of my Pirelli tires went I changed back to 20" and have been driving like that with less headache

I can't recall exact measurements at the moment but I believe I'm riding on KW recommended settings, I'll see if I can find my latest measurements from front shocks replacements a year ago.

Yea I live in Yonkers but go to the Bronx all the time. The lip I purchased from someone that got it by mistake for the wrong car and never confirmed which one it is. I think it's one of the cf lips you find on eBay for about 350 or so. Btw if you see that pic again plz tag me lol @dj_defame
