Bravo! Looks awesome. Again, what a difference a set of wheels can make on a car.
So are you coming to the meet on Sunday to show off those puppies?

I'm wondering why the gap would change? When you upsize from 17" to 18" wheels, doesn't the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combination stay the same? Otherwise, how would the speedo work correctly. Of course, I can't measure the difference while viewing the computer screen, but the gap looks similar. It may seem to be greater because the rubber is shorter?? Not saying that you are wrong, but do you have the manufacturer's overall diameter (OD) specs for both tires?

Hi,
I just got my 166+UHP mounted shipped to me.
Can I just install myself ? (haven't replaced wheels in long time lol)
or I am better off taking to a Tireshop?
For now I want to install wheels w/o spacers, to see how the look is, 95% might end up with 20mm spacers for sure. Eventually might think about Sport Springs to lower car.
Thanks

are you kidding me?? i guess your the type that gets a flat and waits 1 hr for AAA or bmw assist to come and put on the spare... BTW car looks good but the 20 bucks could have went to something else...
