Yup, 20". You guys have no idea what kind of self restraint it took to keep these off the car

but wont count my chickens quite yet!

Frank@WSTO gave me a great price and was spot on with his understanding of the new fitments (excellent info and advice

) but in the end i managed to get really good deal out of the Uk supplier which i should b able to do due to the exchange rates and less transport costs.

Ive got to source a couple of sets of Michelin Cups now and when they are all mounted i will post soem pics for you guys

bugger, i hope i like them as mine are due for arrival next week (but 18 inch for track)

heres my rubber sitting ready for them, 4x265/35/18 Cups on the right and standard CSL Cups on the left in 19 inch for my standard rims

Cloud · 03-06-2010, 05:50 PM

won't they rub? AFAIK other than running 245 in the front u will rub.

shimmy · 03-06-2010, 05:57 PM

shouldnt

ive been running rears on the front with 265 tyres on track and they are fine with my Intrax and -3 camber

the new offsets allow me to get the rims close to the strut as possible and should mean that i can run -2 camber for the road with no rubbing as i have gained another 6mm or so inwards

Cloud · 03-06-2010, 06:54 PM

are you running the M3 specs? et +17 and et+25

sorry, e46 CSL, not E92 (forgot this was e92 area)

ihyln · 03-07-2010, 12:15 PM

ok here are some quick and dirty pictures. yes I know I need to wash the car. I'm a victim of the "pop in" today so I will get more pictures tomorrow.

ihyln · 03-07-2010, 12:19 PM

.

ihyln · 03-07-2010, 12:21 PM

I'll take some more pictures of it in direct sunlight. That's when I think they look their best anyway.

armorrig · 03-07-2010, 01:05 PM

Those are 20's right? I thought you were getting 18's?

armorrig · 03-07-2010, 01:07 PM

Looks good so far. I guess it needs a little drop to complement the aggresive style wheels.

ihyln · 03-07-2010, 02:39 PM

yup they are 20s. I havent decided about a drop yet because the roads are shit here. I'd like to get dinan springs but for 1200 I have better things to spend money on.

armorrig · 03-07-2010, 03:35 PM

I understand. Have you considered Eibachs? I had them installed last Friday and so far so good. Rides like stock from my perception and you get that conservative drop.

slicer · 03-07-2010, 05:44 PM

The 20" Volk's look great. Can you tell me the specs on your tires? Are the rear wheels 20 x 11 or 20 x 10?
