who has put custom wheels & tires on their X7? details & pictures please

TexasJester · 01-18-2021, 02:16 PM

i would like to get a set of rims & tires that are not staggered in size that could be rotated but need details on exactly what will work and well. details and pictures please!!!!

jsmonet · 01-18-2021, 09:31 PM

are you on the 21's or 23's?

There's a bit of an offset problem in trying to rotate, iirc. It's definitely a bit different front to back

I have 4 savini sv-f4 wheels in 20x9.5 with 285/50/20 snows (non RFT) arriving in the next few days. I'll post some photos when they arrive.

I have the 755m 22" wheels and considered getting 2 of the front sizes for rear and putting A/S on all 4 but the tires were really expensive or didn't exist. I don't recall as I went through so many iterations before deciding.

it has 23's now but they are staggered. my GLS63 had 22's and were the same size all around which i really liked.

Ha! So true

I am soon. Deciding on one of these

in black or

I think I'm going with the first one. Getting them square as well, not staggered for easy rotation, and using spacers.

I almost bought the bottom ones last year and someone talked me out of them. I may rethink my decision come spring. I was warned about their quality and lack of customer service from a wheel vendor.
Recently I received a quote from a different manufacturer with a similiar style wheel and they want 4 times the cost. I’m drawn to higher quality and custom offsets but is it worth 4 times the cost??

love your car! can you post link here on how you've lowered your car? Thanks

jhb · 01-28-2021, 03:28 PM

My 20" savini SV-F4 arrived with 285/50/r20 snows today. Here are pictures of the "unboxing". I'll post pictures once on car tomorrow.

Does anyone know where the front and rear jack points are?

Also, since they are not RFT and I don't have a spare, I was thinking about maybe running with Slime in the tires for insurance. Anyone ever done it?

MystroX5 · 01-28-2021, 04:41 PM

Make sure you turn off the air suspension by holding the toggle in the back position for 8 seconds. You will also need jack pads so not to crush the plastic jack points. Slime and TPM don’t mix.

jhb · 01-28-2021, 06:04 PM

I know about the air suspension and have the jack pads. While I can change the tires while on the jack, I wouldn't want to get under the car with one. Seems no one has yet identified a jack point. My F15 rear jack point was the transfer case. Wonder if it's the same in the X7?

My car has the tpms setting as "special" since I have the 22" wheels. Should it be changed?

Will a simple reset make the car recognize the new tpms sensors? I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

MystroX5 · 01-28-2021, 06:12 PM

You can go into the idrive and custom set your tires and wheel size. You will have to do this for your exact wheels. Jack points are in the manual but you can easily feel them down the sides.

Just did my wheels.

When you set the tire size in the I-Drive the TPMS automatically resets after you drive it for about 10 minutes. I have 22" summer tires and 21" winter tires and I have had no problems switching back and forth.

We just sized up to the 22” stockers. Found a set locally for $1K. X7 doesn’t look right on anything smaller.
