You get to keep the same 20mm stagger differential and tire profile between front and back tires as stock (in theory, no adverse handling effects), get a bit more rubber on the ground for performance, and surely a subtle aesthetic benefit.

I would buy SM-10 if available in 18x8 ~et40 up front with 18x8.5 ~et47 rear. This, IMHO, would be optimal for a 235/40f and 255/35r tire setup on the F22.

(Above should work with 19" wheel too, but 235/35f and 255/30r tires instead)

Also, if I'm going to get picky, I'd like a painted/clearcoated silver finish (see Porsche 997.1 Carrera S "lobster claw" wheels for color reference) as well as a black wheel w/ painted red pin stripe around the lip (see the red Porsche 991.2 generation GT3 release/promo car that A.P. goes over on YouTube).

That is all. Thank you!
Those are exactly the fitments I wish were available, in a wheel design I actually like (437M).
