I really like the look and stance but I would change one thing. Those mirrors just detract from the look. They need to come up with an aftermarket mirror

Hi,
for the x-drive models there are approx. these offset limits:
front axle: OS 30 ( absolute maximum with an 8,5" rim and 245 tyres )
rear axle: OS 18 is o.k. OS 15 might also be possible ( also with 8,5" rim and 245 tyres ).

I can take pictures of my 560X and post it, if you want ..

Regards Peter

This thread kinda brought me back to trying to figure out whether the RWD 123s will work on the Xi rear end - it'll be the same as running stock ET43 rims with a 23mm spacer - kinda aggressive, but there's definitely space for it - just curious whether its safe...

Hi Master,
here are the pic?s ...

Offset 30 on front axle:


Offset 18 on rear axle:


As already written, there is a little bit more possible at rear axle .. but already the actual situation is not legal to drive in Austria

rims are 8,5 x 19"
wheels are 245/40-19

Regards Peter
