What custom tire and wheel combo would you advise? offset, size?
Thanks,

I also agree that the 4.6/4.8 isn't worth the extra money. You can swap out the wheels (like I did, factory 4.6 20's) and add the front/rear skirts and make the 4.4 look like a 4.8/4.6 quite easily. As fas as I know those are the only cosmetic differences besides badges and the actual larger engine. The X30 is a big boat, I would probably still use your super duty to tow. But I don't know towing specs on the X5 which I assume would be alot as it tows my sea-doo like nothing. Also the ride is stiff, but like SW said it handles and stops like a car. By far the most fun you can have driving an SUV.
