It also talks in the repair instructions stating that if you have 19's without a vibration dampener and you install 22 (or whichever wheel size requires it) that you must install these dampeners.
On my BMW X5 with 21 inches wheels I have also this damper
Exactly what I'm referring to. I think it might be 21 and 22" wheels.
