A touch firmer than the 20s. We have nice roads here in NC, so I can get away with it.

What size are these tires? What are the offsets for these wheels and do they provide that flush looks. BTW, it's a fine-looking setup! Thx.

Thanks! 255 up front, 295 in the rear. I don't know the offsets, VOSSEN set me up directly.

I'm planning on installing OEM 7-Series 21 inch wheels on my G30. I wondering if I can get aeay with using the tires that came on the wheels. They're 245-35 R21 front and 275-30 R21. What is the aspect ratio of your tires, or the total rolling diameter front and rear.

The 21s look brilliant, I was under the impression they would look tacky, but not at all.

Looks fantastic! I had 21s on my last 750 in Chicago...HUGE mistake! I swear I got flat tires (yes, plural) every time I hit a pothole. Probably went through 8-10 tires in a 6 month period - very low profile. Good thing I had a tire warranty...

Looks amazing! What's the offset if you don't mind?

I'll be throwing a set of HRE's or similar on my '21!

Quick question, I noticed you have the F90 Diffuser, Did you have to change anything for the fitment? Im looking to upgrade my diffuser and exhaust to the F90 spec.

It's an eBay China special and I had to cut it to fit the 4" DINAN tips. For $150 all in, I am pleased with it.

Got the HRE's installed finally, went 21 as well and love the look! Still want to drop it a little and for my Remus exhaust to come in off backorder though 😂

Fully removed and powder coated. It's the only way to go if you're gonna do it.

Very nice! I'm gonna get that rear diffuser and probably put the tips on. Are the baffles deep inside the pipe?
