220M vs ZCP Wheels
220M:
Fronts: 19x8.5 (offset +29) Rears: 19x9.5 (offset +23) ZCP: Fronts: 19x9 (offset +31) Rears: 19x10 (offset +25) So the ZCP wheels are wider, but the 220M offset is less. I am trying to order a set of COR wheels, but they can't do it in ZCP sizes so might have to settle for 220M sizes. My question is, does the 220M dimension look less aggressive than the ZCP or does the offset cancel out the size difference visually?

The 220m's have a more square look and I think look great on the M3.

I'll raise your 220s with my ZCPs...
I am running a 255/285 setup with the ZCPs.

The 359Ms sit 4mm wider, front and back, than the 220Ms.

Dave, are you running an aspect ratio of 30? It's crazy that your 285s seem to have a thinner profile than my 275s.

It's almost time for me to get new rubber. I think I'll go with Michelin PSSs in GTS fitment -- I really like the look of your rears. How do they ride?

ZCPs all day long...most aftermarket wheels dont offer a 9" front setup..which is really puzzling..they either do 8.5 or 9.5..a 9" is perfect
Wider wheels make a huge difference that offset alone cant compensate for. Think of it this way wider wheels that are very slightly tucked vs narrow wheels spaced out..IMO the latter doesnt look as good..and def doesnt handle and feel as good. |

The OEM setups are great, but the offsets definitely aren't as aggressive as most would like. If you guys are looking for the best of both worlds, you guys can also check out the Avant Garde M359 Matte Black wheels. They're available in the 19x9.0 ET15 and 19x10 ET25 for a more flush look. Here are a couple installed pictures for you guys to check out!

And thats wrong because the profile of the wheel is inclusive of both sides and absolutely makes a diff..slap both wheels on and see if you only observe a 4mm diff...you wont..b/c the inner side of the wheel looking at the car from different angles matters..not just looking at the face of the wheel from a 180 degree view. Also, disingenious IS a word. |

Ingenious is a word. Disingenuous is word. "Disingenious" (with or without the hyphen), sadly, is not.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/disingenuous So following your logic why dont you run some 8 inch wide wheels and space them out to like et 5-10 since it doesnt matter looks the same right? So your telling me this looks to be a diff of 4mm? Im not even a leprechaun and can tell that it isnt...(same tire sizes btw 245/265) Last edited by tibra1; 02-21-2012 at 01:32 PM.. |

Also, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make by linking to a car that is wearing 18mm spacers: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...68&postcount=3
