I guess it's a non-issue...
Quote:
Also made a call to Fitment Industries and they confirmed that the HF-5 wheels I'm looking at have a 60.56mm center bore and will fit the G20 with no issues. So I guess my initial concern is really a non-issue at this point! Now if I could just decide whether to go with a square or staggered setup on my '21 Xdrive M340... |

I'll be lowering mine as well but as low as the G37. It satisfies my low life/stance needs lol. She's dirty in this pic but H&R springs should bring it down to where I want it. Adding their sway bars as well.

Decisions, Decisions...
Quote:
I completely agree with you on the squared setup being a bit more boring and staggered being more aesthetically pleasing. With that said, this car is my daily so having the ability to rotate the tires is a plus. After reading this thread again in its entirety (plus a few others) I understand that the HREs would be a lighter weight option (and they are gorgeous to boot) but I think the Vossens will be easier to keep clean. At this point I'm pretty sure I've settled on the square 20x9 ET25 setup and am now considering two different tire size options (235/35R20 or 245/30R20) for the Michelin PS4S tires. Any thoughts/pros/cons for either or both of these options? Right now I'm leaning towards the 235/35/20 option. When compared to my current 225/40R19 (19x8 ET27) size: 20x9 ET25 235/35R20
My final objective is to end up with a dropped/flush overall stance/fitment similar to this M340iX on Rohana RC10s. He's running H&R springs along with 15mm spacers all around. I also think the fitment and stance on GD1981's M340i with Vossen HF-5s is absolutely perfect - also factoring in that he's RWD and has a staggered setup with 12mm/7mm spacers F/R. I'm also concerned about making sure I have long enough lug bolts. I ordered two sets of 45mm lugs from Dinan but I'm not sure if they'll work with the Vossen wheels? Vossen also sells lugs but only in a 30mm length... Fitment Industries will include a set of lugs and/or locks but I'm not sure if they offer extended lengths. All these unanswered questions and decisions still to be made... Did you make your final wheel decision yet chubbiejones? Last edited by ctbimmerfan; 02-24-2022 at 09:38 AM..

It’s funny, these were the two wheels I was debating on, but decided to go with the Vossens.
ctbimmerfan thanks for the kind words. Last edited by GD1981; 02-28-2022 at 08:13 PM.. |

Thanks for the wheel shots as well. Most guys running the HREs seem to have 19's but I have seen one or two with 20's. I'm looking to go +1 as my stock 791Ms are already 19". |

Me too!
Great choice! I ended up ordering a set of Vossen HF5s last week as well (in gloss black)
Went with a 20x9 ET25 square setup with 235/35R20 MPS4 and also ordered a set of the billet blue Vossen center caps to accent the color of my PB M340. It was a really tough decision but I kept coming back to the overall simpler design of the HF5s vs. the HREs and 795Ms. The only real downside that I can see is the additional ~40-60# of unsprung weight. I'm having the Dinan springs and handling kit installed on Monday and I'm getting the windows tinted next Friday (probably going with Madico Black Pearl Non-Reflective 20%). Ordered the Dinan axle-back exhaust last month but not expecting to see that until early/mid-summer. Hope to have some pics to share soon! |

Diego said the 20x9 HF-5s are around 24-25 lbs each. Weights I found online for my stock ones range from 27-30 lbs each.

In terms of weight, I was told the same, they’re a tad lighter than the stock 19’s setup. That being said, for what its worth, stock 19’s vs the HF-5, I ran an identical 60-110 of 5.64 seconds with my dragy on the same stretch of road.

Interesting...

Pretty sure I saw 37 pounds somewhere. IIRC the 791M wheels in 19x8 are just shy of 31 pounds each. Quote:
I'm just surprised they don't list weights anywhere on their site... |
