Planning on vs5rs soon. What sizes did you go with? Suspension mods?

18x9.5" ET58 Brushed Clear APEX VS-5RS Forged BMW Wheel

18x8.5" ET40 Brushed Clear APEX VS-5RS Forged BMW Wheel

No suspension mods.

Tiny bit of rub on rear wheel well cover but zip tied it a little more snug to fender well and no more rub.

You mentioned on our gallery thread that the paragon hat was thinner than OE rotors. Any idea what the difference is offhand?

They were thin enough that I had to up my spacer size to clear the struts on the aggressive sizing I use. Went from a 5mm to a 10mm spacer and that seems to work. I didnt bust out calipers or anything like that, but I'd assume the Paragon titanium centers are maybe 2mm-ish thinner.

FL-5 walked so VS-5RS could run, Godspeed o7

Which spacers did you go with? Many complain that 10mm spacers aren't hubcentric and never can be, however, some companies claim to produce hubcentric 10mm spacers.

Turner Motorsport's 10mm spacer features "hub-centric design, 1-piece spacer with hubcentric lip". More here: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...-longer-bolts/.
