Looks great! Can we use your photos on our facebook page?

 

Thanks guys! And yeah you can use the photos. The new bumpers totally transformed the car, i'm really happy with it.

 

Great! Thank you.

 

What do you mean by this exactly? I have an XI also.

 

The offsets on RWD are very different from AWD. On the 535 model for example the stock 535xi wheels are 43 offset and the stock 535i wheels are 20 offset.

That means if you were to install your AWD wheels on a RWD they would stick INWARD about 20mm more than stock RWD wheels.

If you were to install RWD wheels on an AWD, the wheels would stick OUT about 20mm further than stock.

 

... xi/AWD model has +23mm offset handicap ... check and compare the same exact wheel (ie. model 138) on both AWD & RWD model.

 

Looks great and the Orions are bright. Post pics when you get the new shoes.

 

Thank you, I definitely will post picks with the new shoes when get them. Also, I have to say how much I am loving the Rpi exhaust tone too. When I posted pics, everything was just completed, now that i've put some miles on the car with the new look and muffler, I must say this exhaust sounds amazing! The muffler gives the perfect amount of bite to match the new aggressive look.

 

I see, so this applies to stock OEM bmw wheels only? I had some 18x10.5 with 20 offset in the rear and the 18x9 in the front. I didn't notice it sticking out. So if I had M5 replicas it would stick out is what you are saying?

 

Bluestreak, how long did it take you to install those Orions? I have led angel eyes but the inners are brighter then the outer rings and it really annoys me. Your look awesome.
