Making my E53 X5 Meaner - Lift Kit & Offroad Wheels

Since i had my daily workhorse BMW E53 30d (for 2.5 years) i always knew i wanted to give it some attitude.. And even though i very much am a slammed flush stance guy, for this one i wanted different stance.. So stage one in this video was to get it higher in the air, with lift kit and some 17" big tires. I bought a set of vintage 17x8.5 & 17x10 two piece OZ Mito wheels, and offroad 265/65 R17 tires, rears needed 3cm spacers, to make them fit the front, and with the lift kit installed i gained 4.5cm height on front and 5.5cm in the back. I expected more from the lift kit, but i am still super happy with the overall look and stance for now :-)
thanks for watching!

👌 255/65r17 fits with no problem, maybe later I will also try 265 🤭, maybe you have info about differential, would be better with grater final drive ratio and would be easier to spin bigger tires

@TheFuxxoWorksGarage 9 месяцев назад

you should :-) sorry, I have no idea about differential ratios :-D but i dont feel that the diesel straight 6 has any issues with spinning the big tires (the fuel consumption tho that's another story :-D)

@ArturazzM 9 месяцев назад

@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage did my homework, stock is 3,91, but there's 4,1 and somewhere you can find 4,444, that should fit 🤭, not only for bigger tires, but for towing it's also useful and I use trailer a lot 🤭, there's 1,2 ton tree waiting for his 200 km journey, so minimum 4,1 im interested in, but 4,444 would mean bigger tires for me, easier for gear box and transfer case also

Nice setup! Love the Oz combined in a off-road style. Never saw that before, looks amazing.

@TheFuxxoWorksGarage 2 года назад

Quick question, are the tires rubbing anywhere? Cheers

@TheFuxxoWorksGarage Год назад

maybe a little bit on the front plastic inner fender, but that might be just old and warped.. otherwise no rubbing anywhere

@thetoughcookie3665 3 месяца назад

Looks good but I would've more likely wanted to see the car just without rust, just as an few BMW owner too, including lifted E53 ;) Tires will say rub rub to the plastic covers atleast at front with that size.

@TheFuxxoWorksGarage 3 месяца назад

well, its a "disposable" workhorse basically, so i dont care about rust, and its not really rusty, just some small blisters here and there. and there is no rubbing at all, ever. never once did that setup rub anywhere, not even without lift kit installed, on stock height.

@thetoughcookie3665 3 месяца назад

@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage I would not say "not really rusty" without checking the inner skirts and rear subframe area with subframe off. Unless you talk to someone who does not know about these 😁

@TheFuxxoWorksGarage 3 месяца назад

well, since i have a lift, and work on my cars, i did go through it, and there is nothing to worry about. not yet anyway.

@thetoughcookie3665 3 месяца назад

@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage Did you take the subframe out? And plastic covers on both sides under the body to see the skirts?

@TheFuxxoWorksGarage 2 месяца назад

no, its not a restoration project, you have to go to my E38 series to see that :-D this one i will drive to the ground i guess, so dont care if it rots out. so far though, it sails through MOT without issues.

You can double spacers, instead of one spacer you can put two and car lifts much more. 🙂🙂🙂

@TheFuxxoWorksGarage Год назад

hah, that is true! however, i dont know how much more you can lift the independent suspension car, if the halfshafts would be okay with that, the other components, bushings, etc and whole geometry

Do you not have air suspension in the rear? I have air suspension in the rear on my x5 and am not sure how I would lift it regarding the rear air suspension?

@TheFuxxoWorksGarage Год назад

fortunately i do not have airbags, all springs.. however, the lift kit i have on my car should 100% fit the airbag version too, since the bags are mounted in the same place like springs.. but this is way older chassis, i have no idea if there are any kits for F15, you might be the first one to do it (custom) :-D
