Default You asked for it. Pics of the my X-Type only at driving height

I do tend to deplete the air bags when taking pics, but here are some at true drive height. With the 20x9.5" Volans there is plenty of ground clearance and it doesn't look too 4x4ish (like it would at this height with 18s or 17s).

This is low with bags all at about 20psi:


I am about 1.5 inches higher via suspension and 3/4" more from factory diameter tires.

I don't think that your car could ever look like a 4x4

Pampered, perhaps.

Nice pics.

nice bold wheels. Car at driving height looks great as well. Your current set up really looks stunning. However, whenever I see it I feel a small tinge of sadness given that it is a 2004 and the car is probably nearing it's end....but what a great job. Congrats!

Privat Remember 17x9 ET35 with 25 spacers. They are my beater winter wheels with Bridgestone Blizzak snow tires.

Last week I would have said it wasn't bad, but firm. I just bought 225/30/20 Continentals and they ride about the same as my 40 series 18s and 17s. This is my third set of 225/30/20 and it really depends on the tire, I always keep my tires at 40psi so everything else is equal.

One of the best looking X-types I've seen.
Well done.

How much did all of the upgrades cost you?

Absolutely gorgeous! I have an '02 x-type. I didn't think you could make these baby jags look like that!
