Hi guys,
Can't find aggressive fit parameters for G05. Width + ET.

I need wheels to get out of the arcs for 1/2 finger or be literally on the line (top point).

I seen OEM setups for X5M that include 23" rear / 22" Front, all around 23", and all around 22".

If you could pin point what width + ET (like deep look) could be front+rear, I would truly appreciate it.

Found this image on YouTube, I also getting Y-Spokes (BBS FI-R style just without carving holes because the weight) and pretty much running after same stance just without hamann arches. Wheels will be custom made so any sizes/width/et are possible.

That's dubsesd car on 23x11 all around with 315/25-23. He's running Hamann flares so his spec wouldn't be relevant to what you're looking for.

Here's my set up before I installed Hamann flares. You should use this as a reference to dial in your set up preference. Keep in mind tire width and aspect ratio will play an important role.

22x10 +20 (275/35-22)
22x11.5 +23 (315/30-22)

Fully lowered on OEM air (brings the wheels in a bit when fully lowered):






Comfort ride height (brings the wheels out a bit when not fully lowered):

Man! I love your setup!
I ordered similar sizes just a notch smaller. Will share images as soon as they will come out of the production + delivery.

bforbrian btw!!! I see X5M rear roof spoiler (seems like not Msport?). Is it OEM or Alibaba? Looking on Alibaba for it

[bforbrian]

Forgot to mention that I have lowering links paired with OEM air.

Yes the X5M roof spoiler is an OEM part I bought online.

Great, so it's direct fit from F95 X5M to G05 x40i? Will start looking for it.

About the lowering links, I also got air suspension and wanted to ask you, would they potentially hurt the system or in your experience it's totally fine?

[bforbrian]

Yes the X5M roof spoiler is a direct fit. You'd need it painted of course.

Lowering links don't hurt the suspension. If anything, maybe increases negative camber promoting asymmetric tire wear?

[VictorDebage]

bforbrian amazing, any in particular company you would recommend for the links?

I have BBM, but RG sport is essentially the same thing.

Looks great.
From what I'm reading, direct retrofit X5M to G05 X5 are done by aftermarket companies. If OEM involved there (not 169% confirmed) involves different connect points which require to swap the underneath plate as well.
Alibaba ones (including those who resells them here in the US), direct retrofit.

This spoiler looks great comparing to Msport, must have for sure. Purchasingggggg!

Thanks

I got my real OEM rear spoiler from IND-Distribution painted in Arctic Gray Metallic.

It's the real deal BMW part.

You got F95 right? if yes, should be the OEM part.

But if you got G05 then you got this
https://ind-distribution.com/product...e6e48a4e&_ss=r

this is retrofit for G05 from Alibaba (they even used Chinese's manufacturer pictures), which is $130 unpainted + shipping ~$90.
Made me temped to try, will let you know guys if it will fail.

That's the one I have the G05 retro fit. After seeing it the part was designed for both cars. You just change the places where the nuts are placed for lock down.

bforbrian Amazing! it looks great! I was wondering if you added wheel spacers on your car.

So it proves that my purchased alibaba part will work like a charm! Thanks!

my wallet got slightly thinner but a lot of excitement.

Ordered from a custom wheels factory 22" Y spoke BBS FI-R style just without making holes in the spokes itself.




Was a bit concern about weight+speed = pressure on such design, so just to avoid any drama, no hollowing. 22x10 +26 front 22x11 +22 rear. Same color as on my F10.


Due to I will do 90mm stud conversion so I will have plenty of space for spacers if I will need them to move a bit out.

Btw, on such ET long studs look rad and I recommend it to anyone who had deep dish or such ETs


this is how all of it look on my F10, didn't drive it for a month so it got dusty/rusty, own a good wash to it, but I just love the way how studs pop.

will get red central wheels caps + red long lugnuts with open ends. black studs.


Then I ordered China made custom large brakes set, 6 points with 410mm front, 400 rear.
Calipers will be red, no fancy brands on it, just my instagram




I also thought to order Carbon ceramic right away but even in China it will cost about 5k-6k for all the rotors so I may delay ceramic for a month of too just emotionally prepare myself for burning cash.



Btw on Chinese brakes subject - many people think it's a big risk and it is some degree risk but I rolled 2 years on my F10 with similar setup made same factory, and except the central adapter black paint faded (well this is Florida here), the rest works fine and I did some amount of pulls.

Laser headlights was another interesting experiment, ordered, will see what I will receive.
Look like this, but do they work who knows I sort of bought them because of the design.


As mentioned before, ordered X5M conversion kit. Shipping cost more than the kit itself, so it wasn't that bad.


Ordered rear roof wing from x5m retrofit, will see if it fits hassle free.



Tempting to order chinese catback exhaust system + quad tips from Akropovich for X5M (they look rad, just the Chinese sound of exhaust sounds not bad at all plus controls the dB with a remote).

So, it's just the beginning. A lot of time to wait (mostly sea shipping). Will see how it goes.

[VictorDebage]

jumped in photoshop, and tried to put it together using my current f10 wheels as a reference point and apply it together. pretty much the look without X5M conversion kit and rear roof spoiler

[espressoo]

The PS looks cool. I don't mind replica parts because everyone has different budgets. My only concern would be replica thin spoke 22" wheels on a 5,000lb SUV. When I was shopping for wheels there were plenty of nice designs but very few had X5 fitment in part due to the weight of our vehicles. If you're able to run that setup and it proves to be reliable then that's awesome.
