The side profile is one of my fav angle on this car.

Iceman51sn · 09-26-2015, 07:35 PM

Looking good! Great color combo and stance!

Would love to see more pics!

Using a 3mm front spacer but really not needed...just there as a precautionary amount of space from the strut. Otherwise, front and rear are very flush and perfect and since I'm on Dinan springs it's not as aggressively low as H&Rs or other applications...no rubbing at all, so far, and I drive a mix of crap/beater freeway and streets to work everyday in Los Angeles.

TreDirtyFive · 09-28-2015, 03:55 PM

I'm using a relatively cheap Hankook evo12 v2 setup front and rear.

SteveInfante · 09-28-2015, 06:58 PM

Very nice. This is a combo I'm looking at.

briareos_ch · 10-01-2015, 05:33 PM

you sure these are 18's ? *irony* looking perfect/like 19". love the look of beef tires.
can you post angle shots ? this car looks every single time better and better with the right weels ! love it

TreDirtyFive · 10-03-2015, 07:06 PM

updated quick snap of rear qtr and front qtr for those who asked. cheers.

trill m235i · 10-03-2015, 08:19 PM

Damn, makes me kinda wish I got Mineral Gray instead! This color doesn't look that good on the F30 but on the F22's body lines embrace the color a lot better! Nice wheels!

apm235 · 10-07-2015, 05:32 PM

Mate looks absolutely perfect IMO!

I want to have mine sitting at that height on similar wheels (if not the same ones).....what springs did you use and how much of a drop was necessary to get that flush look?

I, apprehensively, went with Dinan springs even though I wanted to try Vogtland for a more aggressive look. No thanks to H&R...My experience with H&R has never been good and I've always had my shocks go bouncy past 15k on H&Rs...not enough shock movement can't be good for that long.

But, so far the drop height and overall feel is just right in my opinion. It feels stiffer than stock overall but much better and smoother than stock at absorbing bumps and cracks...mostly because I cut all my bumpstops so there is more shock travel. The wheel offsets make the car absolutely flush out of the box, so need for spacers. Hallelujah.

Why did you go from Michelin PSS to Hankook tires?
