I was surprised a parts provider shop quoted me a set of genuine M-kit almost the same of replica elsewhere.....ok deal?.painting and installation cost at 70% of the kit?holy $hit?.anyway, that really look great?.
However, the last one shows the stance is not looking good.....I have posted in wheel and tires section but seems like Mod's page is more popular in the forum.....
I want to keep my new Goodyear F1A2 tyres (245/40/18 all round) and perhaps change the existing wheels (18 x 8 ET20) setup. I looked a set of breyton style and also F10 M5 style matte black both with 18x8 front and 18x9 rear, ET20. In the spec., rear 18x9 uses 275/40/18, can I use 245/40/18?

The wheel shop can also paint my existing wheel black and add a pair of spacer to rear, that will cost less.....any ideas?

We have only 2 parts providers in HK and I got it from one of them. BMW quoted me 40% more for the same kit!
......still waiting for more opinion regarding wheel setup.

It should be what connects your diffuser to part #6 or #7 based on this diagram:

I could be wrong though as my Mtech kit was not OEM.
