HRE's for the M340

After about a 4 month wait, my wheels finally arrived! Went for a more aggressive setup, ordered through fitment industries. They were great, however I only received two of my center caps currently in the works of getting the rest, not too big of a deal, I’ll survive. Can’t really blame them for the massive back orders still going on with the wheel industry, overall a good experience ordering with them.

HRE FF10 in tarmac

Front: 20X9 ET25 245/35/20
Rear: 20X10.5 ET35 285/30/20

The fronts do rub on the fender liner ever so slightly when making full turns in reverse and the front brake caliper fitment is about as close as it gets maybe 3mm between the wheel and the caliper otherwise all is well, the rear sticks out about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch, I personally like this setup, however I would recommend a less wide rear wheel if you prefer a flush fitment maybe a 10 or a 9.5 with a spacer.

Not usually a fan of aftermarket wheels, but these look pretty good.

Wow!!! Those tires look like pretty much the definition of a rubber band.

They looks great! However the rear aspect ratio is pretty small. Why did you choose 285/30/20? Did 285/35 or 285/40 not fit?

Honestly pictures make them look thinner than they actually are, I wanted a balanced look and didn’t want one being taller than the other so I went with an aspect ratio where both tire walls would be relatively the same size the close up picture of the wheel was taken a 1 foot away with 0.5 zoom hence why they look way slimmer than they actually are, pretty much the same as the fronts if you were to bring out a measuring tape

I figured that after I read the actual aspect ratios. I knew it wouldn’t really be that thin.

How much did the handling improve with having such wide tires?

The car is significantly more grippy, feels more hooked to the ground overall, they are Michelin super sports and are way better than the thrash all season tires that were on the car originally. The car is able to hook and launch with minimal wheel spin from a stand still and feels overall quicker because it can put down its power better, something that it struggled with when it had its measly 225s on.
