I would like to push out the rear wheels on my 550i Sport Pkg. I am going to try 12.5mm unless anyone has any experience with clearance.

LCI 550's + sprt pkg = stlye 172 wheels
both style wheels the offset in he rear is ET32, 15mm seems to be the most popular (some do run 12mm as well tho)

15mm - DONE
Now Exhaust...
Is the RPI a droning tin can fart box boy racer POS?? It looks sweet - priced right and folks here like it.
I DONT want a really lound unit that drones.
I had the el diablo on my E46 M3 and it was loud and droned all the time.
Not may options and dont really want something I cant hear like the Dinan.

NICE - tell it like it is....
What about on the fronts - anyone doing the front?
Does not seem like it needs it much - if at all.
