hey guys,
i posted a thread on falken or hankook tires, finally made up my mind and ended up getting hankooks and got 285/30/19 on the rear
suprisingly it did fit with 12mm spacers, tires look meaty... and also i end up getting new wheels, wow! could not believe how fast i made up my mind
on these wheels i switched out my avant garde for a BBS LM's with red bbs caps. here is the before and after pictures, let me know what you guys
think special thanks to LONG at //LTBMW thanks in advance

So far so good, like what everybody is sayin the hankooks are quieter vmr 710 in gunmetal is a hot wheel you should speak to michael at acute performance he got some vmr
710 in gunmetal, he is a very cool guy to deal with as well keep me posted

Looks good man! I honestly think the lm's look better with the tires stretched but to each his own. They still. Look good. Ride em with style
