starscream · 10-27-2010, 12:46 PM

f5journal · 10-27-2010, 01:40 PM

This is a real good question....it's higher. I notice mine sits a tad higher than most, but nothing like this

PB3 · 10-27-2010, 01:51 PM

That is weird. The wheels and tires look tiny.

d69chris · 10-27-2010, 01:56 PM

What are the tire sizes?

You may have made the gap bigger by going with a smaller diameter tire than stock.

Stock = 28.66 inch height .......... 275 x .4 / 25.4 x 2 + 20 = 28.66.....275 times .4 divided by 25.4 times 2 plus 20 = 28.66

Skip the springs and save up for coil over shock, they are worth the wait!

Those wheels are nice, did you use an adapter? what year X6?

Regarding the Gap, i think maybe the OD (Overall Diameter) is smaller than the original thats why you see that gap,

Whats the size of that tire?

starscream · 10-27-2010, 02:17 PM

the extent of the rim has nothing to do with the height of the car....I had initially rims 19
and the distance not change...always 11cm... is too high can also be seen from the picture..... p.s. the wheels are 21x10 front and 21x11 rear..bmw x6 2010

starscream · 10-27-2010, 02:20 PM

The size of the rim has a lot to do with it but it will also depend on the tire's ratio.
Since you do not provide any sizes of the tires to properly calculate the OD, you would need to calculate the Before OD and the new OD.

If you had OEM 19" (P245/50ZR19 ) wheels and tires the OD was 28.6 inches.

And also i see that those wheels are wider than the tires, making the tire stretch and this will also cause the tire to appear smaller.

sorry it's hard to explain because I do not know the language well ....
no adapter... 5x120 offset... 245x40 275x35...I am convinced that my camaro is higher than normal....
