I just purchased an 02 x type from ebay, the car was extremely cheap so I had to jump on it, however the miles are high. IT has 84,000 on it. But it is in mint condition and the car report showed nothing. Than I found this forum and saw all these people posting problems with the vents, and other scary repairs. My car has a full bumper to bumper warrenty that Ipurchased covering me till 120,000 miles. What I am wanting to know is are there any x type owners out there that dont have problems, that maybe have high miles. Also now that I got such a break on the price, I have a huge amount of money to drop into it. I am in Texas so I am all about the show, could really care less about the GO with that car. I bought the 3.0 Sport with Navi, it is as loaded and the x came, the origonal owner even got the winter package. But any way I am about to drop the cash this week, the plans are Tint, GRills, 20's, Lowering springs 1.4, TV's in the head rest, custom trunk install.Now does any one know can I drop this car and have it on 20's? Do I have to get like 30, or 35 series tires? I am going to get a body kit as well, so the car doenst appear tobe sitting so high off the ground. Can I pull this off or do I need to get the 19's. I seen people with 20's on the X, on car domain but there's werent lowered and looked too high off the ground for my taste. I want it to look european not ghetto, but I want to braga bout my 20's in the Ghetto. So help me out.

 

People tend to only post problems and questions. Like the rest of us, you have a fine vehicle that will eventually need a repair or two. Can't help you on the wheels/tires.

 

Thanks alot, you seem tobe the onlyone who cares about helping a dude out.

 

NOT EVEN GONNA ATTEMPT.

 

thank you.

 

After my extensive research on wheels I think you should go 19's and then drop it. If you get 20's I think you'll have wheel well issues and rubbing. I just wen't with 18's and planning to drop it with eibach springs in a month or so. Make sure you get the right offset as the xtype uses a high offset.
