Tires are
245/35/20 front
275/30/20 rear

Tires are a little too stretched for me so I'm thinking 265 in front and maybe a 285 or 295 rear.

I will be selling this wheel/tire set soon.
i have these and they look better in real life than the pics, and then just when you thought they looked amazing, they look even better with a coat of road dust after a drive! madness

wondering if you have weighed the wheel-tire combos? or know the rim weight? interweb not very useful here

thanks

The accessory that you’re referring to is: gloss black front spiltter. It’s made by Maxton Design from Europe. Below are the authorized online retailers in the US and Canada.

H&R Springs on 18's for the winter.
After seeing these setups I'm definitely getting some 20's in the spring.

They can throw off your suspension geometry, particularly where your control arms are concerned. Bump steer and increased body roll are common maladies.

Lowering another cm is probably ok if you value proper handling, but I would be cautious going lower. The M5 sits about a cm lower, but it also has a number of different components on the front end, so very difficult to say unless you know geo specs of the stock setup, and what the tolerances are with regard to the roll center.

I have never driven a casually lowered car that drove better than a stock sport suspension. There are usually multiple components that need to be changed in order to see a real improvement, holistically speaking.

That said, many are just after a certain look.
