LOWERING AND FITTING OF WHEEL SPACERS TO 40d, OPTIONS & OPINIONS WANTED

Post by uplandswayx6 » Sun Jul 14, 2013 1:14 am

Hello All,

We`ve recently purchased a 2011 40d and have been carrying out some tasteful mods.

Now looking to complete the cosmetic look and go down the lowering and fitting of wheel spacer route.

40d is running 20" alloys with Run Flat tyre`s (will change to 19" alloys with winter run flats in November through to February)

Has anyone done this and which kit did you use as there`s loads of options, we are looking to obviously lower the X6 and make its stance more aggressive by fitting wheel spacers, but dont want the ride to become shattering.

Thanks in advance.
Regards

uplandsway x6
Thanks,
