My 530d M-Sport (Detail and wheels update pg 11)

So i finally managed to get the wheel fitted, was a nail biting procedure as I was afraid the guys would scratch the face of the wheels. After mentioning this to the manager and a bit of debating i was assured that they had the best equipment not to scratch the wheels( although that means jack in the hands of the worst employee).

Only managed to get a few pics as i really wanted to keep an eye on what was going on.

It was difficult to capture the difference, but the fronts are 2mm further out and the rears are 7mm out, but they are 14mm out in front compared to stock and 22mm out on the rear.

I have gotten any rubbing and I hardly ever load the car, so i am absolutely chuffed with the outcome.

Looks good Sash!!

Who did the fitment for you? What tyre sizes/profiles did you go with?

I notice a blemish on your bumper...... :tiptoe: sorry to bring that pain up....

Supaquick Lifestyle centre centurion, Used the same tyre from my previous wheels, 245/35/19 fronts and 265/35/19 rear

:RedNo: Yeah.., after driving a short overhang VW touran for a few weeks and almost never using the undercover parking at work, i misjudged the curb....:cry::cry: I try to ignore but it drives me mad.., will be taking the car to auto magic soon so will see what they can do for me. I am also looking for splitters to fit over them.... but no one keeps stock of plastic ones. I am not looking for CF, prefer gloss black.

New wheels look real good, although the rears could do with some more spacing.

As much as they look like it in the pictures.., its not so bad in person and since they are OEM M6 wheels, i think that i am close to the limit of having a good looking setup without ANY rubbing or touching. The other thing to note is that most guys run 275/35/19 and the M5/M6 even wider, if i went with that tyre setup the rear would look different.
