I just added the same M5 wheel and need hubcentric spacers to have those wheels fit. Did you add spacers too? The ride looks sick, mine is in white. Also, what size tire and brand do you have? The reason I ask, is I'm getting vibrations after 50MPH, and I think it's due to the small tires that came on the wheels from the guy I bought them from, or the hubcentric spacers. The tires are some cheap brand "Champiro, 235/35/19, and 265/30/19.

There is no sweeter rim than the 166, in my expert opinion, lol.

The OP went from RFT's to non-RFT's...that alone will make a huge difference in ride comfort....

You don't need spacers to make these wheels fit, but spacers help to give a better(subjective) and wider stance.

Vibrations can be attributed to either the tires being off balance, bend in wheel, or your spacers are not hubcentric. Those are the first things I would look into.
