Fender Flares on X5 Luxury ?

[promtber]

I have 19 on my x5 and wanted to up grade to 20 or 21. Do I need fender flares or will tires stick to far out? Looking for BMW wheels or Replica wheels. Any suggestions? Thanks

It is not required, although, it will look aesthetically better with the flare. Problem with Luxury Line that I can see is you have to paint the new flares, as an added cost

how much will they stick out and will 20 stick out more then 21?

I've seen 20s on luxury and not going to draw much attention
21s will need flare to look right

Should their be a certain tire or any 20 will be fine. Just don't want it to look stupid.

275/40 F

I have 20' with no flares. Might add them later on. The wheels are 451 on P-Zero RF, but recently changed to TOYO T1S SUV non RF and the ride is absolutely different. Love the TOYO!



Here's my twin with the flares

Are these oem or replica wheels. Set up looks nice . What are the wheel dimension and tire sizes did you use?

They are OEM 20's style 451 on 275/40 on the front and 315/35 on the rear.
