Mounting 21" 215's - service tech only??

I found this ad for the OEM 21's I've been trying to track down and it read as follows:

BMW OEM 21"Staggard rims and tires set of four

Fits X5

Check pics for tire sizes and offsets front and rear.

There is a trick to mounting these on the car that involves the automatic leveling suspension. DO NOT ATTEMPT WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A TRAINED TECHNICIAN
Sold as set of four - rims and tires together


Really? First I've heard of this for any vehicle. Appreciate any knowledge on this out there.

Thanks!

sounds like a load of crap. why does it make a difference if the car has self level suspension or not?

FWIW, I had my local tire guy (Tru Line in Bellevue, WA) install a set of 215's several weeks ago. No special procedure, just bolt them on and torque them to specs.

Thanks for the feedback. Sounded a bit odd for sure, but I will dig a bit more and post if I find anything.

Yep, load of crap alright. Talked to the local dealer; strap on, re-set TPMS, and roll!
