It's rather harsh but a y 25 series tire would be. The Delinte tires are great very underrated.

Had to heat and bend the front struts up slightly but now they fit perfect.

As long as you're happy with it, that's all that counts.
Part of the vehicle's charm is that it handles pretty good for an SUV. Steering has a nice feel and it hugs the corners pretty good. I wouldn't expect you'll be pushing it through turns with the short sidewalls though.

To me, it looks a bit ridiculous. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

I'm trying to picture where you applied the heat and what part of the strut needed to be bent. I'm assuming you needed wheel/tire cleanance. Interested to see a pic if you can post one. You're one brave soul to be heating and bending struts on a Bimmer!

Would a spacer have worked instead?

I was always told “if you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all”.

I’m not saying anything at all about the X3 with 24s.

Wow. OK. Best of luck with those. But if you're going to do that, you've got to do it all right and black out the cerium bits as well.

Not for me. You could use 26's and save on tyres completely.

Look at all this negativity. I dislike the aesthetic that alot of you attempt to achieve with 20s or 21s and the wheel choices. You dont see me going out of my way to bash your choices. I dont need to justify myself to anyone. I've achieved the exact aesthetic I desired. I'm the first to try something new and not play it safe; unlike you followers I'm a leader. They wanna see you do good but never better than them....

Don’t pay attention, man. Like you said... your car, your aesthetic, your choice.

What is the wheel+tires weight compared to the OEM ones? Also don't let that upset you but expect not be liked by most of the people (keep in mind for BMW, OEM is the most respected in a lot of the stuffs). To me its more Cadillac/Chevy hip-hop song videoclip style but everyone on its own. Also the brakes now looks tiny lol
