Forster, looks absolutely stunning!! Perfect wheel spacing, drop...it all comes together so perfectly! Quick info/advice needed.
My M-Sport is going in for the 1.2" H&R drop complemented by Bilstein Sport shocks in a couple of weeks which I'm hoping will provide a "compromise" ride between stock and your setup (and thanks for being blunt about the ride on yours btw, much appreciated). I'm contemplating a set of forged wheels to replace the stock 10x20's (F) and 11x20's (R) on it and I want to push them out 15 and 20mm respectively similar to what you've done. On yours, under heavy compression at the rear (if you've had it yet), do the tires rub??? I know they'll tuck inwards at the top under compression but for the life of me I can't figure out how they'll clear the very wide lip on the bottom of our rear wheel extensions. I'm new to the X5 world so your advice - or anyone else whose pushed their wheels out - would be appreciated. I've searched the forum and can't find any similar questions or answers. Thanks in advance - Mark

Mark,
I understand what your saying. To answer your question, Yes, it will most likely rub.. But not often. I've never actually heard the truck 'rub,' however, if your cautious and don't have a brutal commute you should be fine. I check all the time for any wear in the wheel well and under fender flares but I have yet to have a problem (knock on wood). I'm with you on knowing it's gotta rub but if it does, it's very minor. You'll have some more space to spare with your set up so I'd say as long as your cautious you'll be fine

Damn, that is one clean x5 ///M.
The stance and the spacers make it one of the best looking x5 ///M's out there!
