19s with 255-35 front et15
275-35 rear et20

Will the 255 look weird, and will these wheels look small?? They're Alufelgen SF 71s.

Last question: Hyper black, Silver, or Gunmetal?

255/35 would most likely rub

:l

255/30 would be a safer bet in clearing ur wells

also they arent as tall

and no they wont look like poop

should be near the size of 245/35 (height)



...i say change it

but then i hate black wheels

:l

I personally like the Alfugen wheels. I would lean toward the Alfugen kyle. 245 in the front will have no prob.

Hi PlanB,

I think your car looks really nice the way it is, however there's a reason why you're thinking about changing your wheels, so you should follow your desires. I like the first wheel and it would highlight your car since it's silver.

Appreciate the input...had a feeling that would be the case.

I like these alot! But I haven't seen any 5s with them on, only 3s, but some of them look pretty sick!

Thank you.
The biggest reason why is b/c I joined this board and have been on a mod-a-palooza!. I had no idea people were modding their 5s so much. I also just lowered my car and my tolerance for rubbing is appearantly low, even though it's not that bad. But I'm only changing these wheels once so I'm being pretty analytical about it.

I hear that. I'll be changing my wheels and tires probably next year because these 18's are not giving me the look that I want. It's tough but if you can afford to do it you might as well.

I remember that posting. I did a search for VMR since they're pretty close and got some ideas too.
But I don't find many Titanium Silver with these wheels.

I like the all black with the time attack, but not sure on a 5er.
