Making my E53 X5 Meaner - Lift Kit & Offroad Wheels
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2022
- 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!

Hello!
i am so sorry for late reply, i completely missed tons of reply comments :-( here is the exact kit i bought:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372172349897?euid=9c0be9ec615f4c968ca0e42055d1dc54&bu=43846315615&sojTags=bu%3Dbu&mkevt=1&mkcid=7&mkpid=0&emsid=e11051.m43.l1123&ufes_redirect=true&ul_noapp=true
Great job. It looks badass now.
thank you! :-)
Nice setup! Love the Oz combined in a off-road style. Never saw that before, looks amazing.
thank you very much
Quick question, are the tires rubbing anywhere? Cheers
maybe a little bit on the front plastic inner fender, but that might be just old and warped.. otherwise no rubbing anywhere
Beautiful wheel
thank you :-) still love them on the car
So sick man. I have a f15 x5 and am thinking about doing the same thing.
whoa, F15!! that would be supercool :-O and probably the first one? didnt see F15 done like that
Салам из Казахстана! Респект за видео. Авто приобретает брутальный вид. Первое видео по лифту Х5. Так держать!
thank you!
Nazdar, kde si kupoval podložky na lift?
Zmenili sa nejako jazdné vlastnosti na ceste pri 100km/h a viac?
Dik
nazdar, kupoval som to na ebayi, z usa:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372172349897
akurat to vtedy stalo menej ako polovicu z toho co teraz :-D jazdne vlastnosti sa nezmenili vobec
Moc pěkně jsi to naladil! 🙂 Zajímala by mě Tvoje celková spokojenost/spolehlivost?
diki moc!
spolahlivost je podla mna mega na take stare auto, nechala ma stat iba raz, ked odisiel alternator.. ale chce to teraz investovat do repasu celeho podvozku a par dalsich drobnosti :-)
do you have any rubbing in the front while turning?
Mean 265/65R17 looks very nice but I am a bit worry about rubbing
no rubbing at all, ever :-) that is why i went with this size, after a bit of research people that run that size said it won't rub
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage thank you for your response🤝 I will put the same on my BMW X5 e53👍
@@johnmcarthur3519 cheers mate! good luck :-)
Very sweet!! Can you let me know what size lift kit you used cheers
thank you! it was exactly this kit:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372172349897
Looks cool.
Nice, welche Felgen große ist das ?
9j 17"?
hello, sizes are: 17x8.5" ET13, 17x10" ET19
👌
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
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)
@@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

Hey man! Still watch this video nearly every month for inspo!
What size are the actual rims/wheels. 17x10 and 17x8.5 but what offset? Thanks
thank you, i appreciate that a lot :-)
exact sizes of the wheels are:
17x8.5 ET13
17x10 ET19
but i used some spacers :-)
I have some twenty inch rims but wanted to go with same tire but obviously in a 20' will there be any rubbing while turning etc if no spacers are used?
well, it depends on size you put on them, but i dont think tires like this are made in low-profile..
hi 17&8.5 =265/65/17 end 17&10=265/65/17 the width of 265 is the same for all disk???front end rear disk different ? @@TheFuxxoWorksGarage
@@misterx2099 yes, that is correct, 8.5 and 10" width and all 4 same tires.
Automatic like for the garage doggo.
What's the chunkiest 17" meat you can put on a stock ride height E53?
thanks :-D
from what i researched i believe the size i put in is the biggest you can pull off with stock setup without any issues
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage
Thanks bro!
Hello! In your description you said that you used 3cm spacers in the rear..were these wheel spacers or you are talking about the lif kit spacers?
hi! the 3cm were spacers for wheels, not the liftkit ones :-)
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarageAmazing! Thank you very much!
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage one more question, did you put the 3cm wheel spacers just in the rear or the front too?
@@Jucatoze front has no spacers, only in the back. but all of that depends on the wheel width and ET..
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage if I'm using the stock 17x7.5 rims, you think I need front or rear wheel spacers?
Thanks for the video. I have an E71 that I’m lifting and I love how yours turned out. I also liked the E38 as I had one of those too. Great job
thank you very much! :-)
From where did u buy the Lift kit i have an old e53 and i wanna lift it too
hey, i bought it here:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372172349897
but it was less than half a price before :-O it is pretty expensive now :-O
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?
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
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage Ok thanks. I have found a lift kit for the f15 however no one has done a proper wheel and tire set up like yours!

@@Alex-rm1wj yea, i did some search and you are right, so there's a challenge for you :-)
How much for rims and tires in total ? (What is the type of off-road wheels) Thx
hi! wheels were around 800-900€, and tires are austone maspire 265/65 R17, they were around 500-600€
Whats the offset on your wheels and did you add spacers?
the sizes for the wheels are:
17x8.5 ET13
17x10 ET19
and i added 1.5 and 3cm spacers, but later i only ran 1.5cm in the back and no spacer in the front
Sur quel site as-tu acheté les pièces ?
from ebay:
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372172349897
How much milimeters lift kit you used?
And wheels et ?
hi! 2" lift kit and wheels: 17x8.5" ET13, 17x10" ET19, and i have 15mm spacers in front and 30mm spacers in rear
Can u help me. I have 2001 bmw X5 3.0 and I want to make off road adventure living. What do I need thx
Sorry but i myself have no idea what you have to do, not much of an adventurer myself :-D try fluidmotorunion, they are based in usa, and have (or had) a bit more upgraded offroad E53..
You can double spacers, instead of one spacer you can put two and car lifts much more. 🙂🙂🙂
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
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage sorry for my English bro, but yes. When I wrote this comment, then I started to think about other components ...😄😄😄 Overall it looks very nice, keep it up!👍👍💪💪💪
@@billymilligan4974 no problem, thank you very much! i might try your idea somewhere down the line, who knows 😀
Hello. Can you share spacer drawings? Thank you.
hi! sorry i didnt make these, i dont have any drawings for them :-/
Vyzera to super
dakujem pekne :-)
I was kinda hoping to see it perform...
sorry, i live on plain, so there is not much action other than me going on muddy backroads with fields when it rains :-D
Can't the tires be fitted without a lift
Sure they can, i drove it like that before i mounted the lift kit, not a single issue.
What is this song?
Sorry for late reply, i missed this comment..
song list from the video:
Au Naturale - Fanny Pack
Au Naturale - Catwalk
ПоцАны,чо за музон?
i have no idea what are you asking
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage hat's the name of the song?
Thanks brother I'm dumb.
