What size tire did you go with. I think silver was the right choice.

20X9 ASANTI BLACK LABEL ABL-27 on the wheels (+35, they are going to need my spacers)

255/45R-20 CONTINENTAL VIKINGCONTACT 7 XL on the tires

This is going to be a beast in the snow going up to Winter Park with these full snows.

Those are as much gunmetal as they are silver so you chose right. Looks great.

ET35 will certainly benefit from spacers. I'm likely getting a 20x9 set that is ET25 which I'm hoping is adequate. I don't need flush, but I don't want major tuck.

Ok, I went with the same tire size. Yeah spacers will help. My winter setup has a +20 offset and looked a lot more flush. I will probably mount them in a few weeks. Still looking dry and moderate temps for the next couple weeks.

They look awesome! Any plans to see if you can fit a BMW center cap on them?

Man great question, I actually gave that a shot and the OEM smaller ones do not fit. I need to find one of the previous generation that are larger diameter to see if they fit. Because these center caps look terrible

I got my 68mm caps from here:

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...m/36136783536/

Measure to see if they will fit before ordering.

Here's some more info in my thread:

You know after you asked I ordered up some replicas from Amazon, they arrive tomorrow so we will see if they work. $16 bucks loss if not.

Are you running that square or a different size for the rears?

Didn't fit. So I did a retrofit. But good enough for winters.

forza1976 · 10-18-2020, 09:36 PM

Update... Installled for the season.

Transfer · 10-18-2020, 11:55 PM

Looks good! But get some tire shine or something on those tires ASAP!

spta97 · 10-19-2020, 11:56 AM

Great deal on the center caps - looks awesome!

And ditto on the tire shine

ps: those wheels look fantastic on your car, I'm a little jelly I didn't see those when I bought.
