bimmer_335 · 10-25-2018, 10:52 AM

sadly spacers is a must even for mperf. wheels

i'm running spacers as well with 20" wheels.

Looks great to me. Awesome

Your G30 looks awesome.

Al-530 · 10-31-2019, 09:08 AM

Very nice looking car, it has mean road presence!

Can I ask where you got your front splitter from and if the fitment is good, as I’m looking to get one.

Let me know how you get on there. Really struggling to get a rear diffuser for the 520d that doesn't require replacing the internal rear bumper panel.
Bought an M5 style one and it doesn't fit.

Nice 520d by the way. Have the same wheels on mine.

I ended up with the genuine M Performance rear diffuser - it came with the replacement internal rear bumper panel (by that I mean a plastic panel that is fitted between the car and the external panel that you can't actually see once its all fitted). I couldn't work out how to to change it so I dremel'ed the original internal panel to fit the MP diffuser. It only took a few cuts here and there.

So don't be dissuaded by the internal panel.

Looked really weak and looked a mess

So I changed the rears to 285 30 20 added rear spacers 15mm front spacers 10mm and wow did it make a big difference !

More aggressive stance and wheels sit flush with tyres instead of exposing too much of the rim of the tyre

Big shout out to R1 tyres in blackburn for recommending the current setup and fitting new tyres plus spacers .

Also thanks to tyre bay Nelson for fitment and tyres both place best in the business .

Car looks fantastic. I am looking to change to similar rims on my 530 D below. Can you send on details for R1 Tyres. Where are they based ?
Do you think they would look as good on a dark color car ?

Any vibration with the spacers? What brand did you use? The looks great!

How much were the rims mate and where did you get them from? I've got the 19" currently with m sport suspension, considering the 20's been told the ride will be more harsh. Hows the ride after putting these on.

I wonder if all of the G 30 models that have 20 inch will set ups like this would benefit from mild spacers??

Do you have pictures of what it look like before you add the spacers so we could see the before and after?

Hi

What's the offset on those wheels?

Cain · 08-04-2022, 08:49 AM

I bought some Lexani rims but they don’t fit over the front caliper bracket. I discovered they have a flange/lip inside. These are 18s but I’m moving to 20s. Anyone think the 20s will make a difference or should I stay away from Lexani wheels since they seem to have that lip inside?

Hello. Those wheels are incredible! What aftermarket site or company did you purchase from? Thanks!

Nice find, I wanted this style on my car but wasn't able to get it in 19". While the 20" looks much better, I wasn't really crazy about poor ride quality and the hassle of dealing with banged up tires/rims on the roads around here.

Going to hold onto that link for future swap when I get tired of the OEM run flats.
