Do you rub when driving? How is it with street bumps and is there a difference from oem springs?

It’s actually not bad at all, I have my tire pressure set at 40psi; with the 20’s its obviously going to be a bit stiffer when compared to the stock 19’s, but I would not say its a big difference. Overall I’m quite happy - the pros in this case far outweigh the cons.

No rubbing with my setup at all. Though I did attempt to install the rears without the 7mm spacer and it rubbed. That being said, even if the rear didn’t rub without the spacers, I would’ve thrown them on as there is a very slight poke with them on, which looks fantastic.

Hey brother, you by chance have any additional side profile shots of your car in daylight hours? I am contemplating a very similar set up; what spacers do you have installed (Dinan)?

Hey Man-
Future classic 12mm spacer for the front
Dinan 7mm spacer for the rear

[Chubbiejones]

Appreciate the pictures and the information brother! Couple of additional questions:

1) What is the reason you installed a set of Future Classic spacers in the front vs installing Dinan on all four corners?
2. Can you provide the details on the CF front lip and rear spoiler.

Thank you again for your time!

This looks fantastic. Well done. Do you have the offsets on those Vossens?

See below from another post from GD1981:

https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...686702&page=12

-20X9 ET32 (Front) (Tire Size - 235/35/20)
-20X10.5 ET45 (Rear) (Tire Size - 275/30/20)

ET45? Wow. I can't believe that wide 275/10.5 fits in the back. There must be gobs of inboard fender clearance.

You should contact Continental and give them your stock tire sizes and what your new tire sizes are. I think you will find out that you are running your psi too high.

As an example I went with the same wheel on mine but a little different tire size with the PS4S....
Vossen HF-5 Matte Gunmetal Front 9x20 Rear 10.5x20
Pilot Sport 4S Front 245/35/20 Rear 285/30/20

I wrote to Michelin and asked them what psi I should run the new tires at. Here was their response...

We show based on the OE tire size of 225/40ZR19Rf and OE pressures of 39 psi front and 42 rear, the new pressures for the front tires will carry a similar load at 35 psi front and 26 psi rear! However, we are only allowed to recommend the OE pressures, even though, you replaced your tires with a staggered fitment. Using the lower pressures could cause the TPMS light to come on and you may need to have it re-calibrated!

Sincerely,

Executive Response Team

Sorry for the late response.

In regards to the wheel offsets, I’m running the following:

et 32 in the front with a 12mm FC spacer (effective +20) flush
et 45 in the rear with a 7mm Dinan spacer (effective +38) ~5mm poke

Future Classic doesn’t have a 7mm spacer is the reasoning why I went with Dinan for the rear. IMO Future Classic makes the best spacers - and I’ve tried a handful over the years, though they are on the pricey side.


In regards to the tire pressure, I’m running 38 psi all around - I did recalibrate the system, so there is no light on the dash. From all the research I have done regarding this, I’ve seen mixed opinions. As it is now, I like how the car runs.
What psi are you running??

How is the ride quality? I am considering the exact same setup.

If you have RFTs the handling and ride quality is night and day better!

I came from staggered 19’s with the PS4’s - and the ride quality hasnt suffered too much surprisingly. As far as handling is concerned, I haven’t pushed the car too hard with the 20’s….yet.

I was actually responding to ashokgadeking.
