THanks man... really appreciate it because I LOVE the dark tint!!! I'll probably just put those "BMW Preformance stickers" on the stock calipers and get them powdercoated.

Any recommendations on stance/spacers? I know there are tons of threads.. but i hate searching lol

PS nice new wheels man, your ride is sickening

 

NVM... Found it..

 

With stock 166 wheels, proper spacers are 12mm in the rear and 10mm in the front. this is what i run when i mount my 166's for winter. my 20's use different spacers.

 

Member : JOHN has recommended 12mm front 15mm back... ANy thougths?

 

Both options work. You max out at 15mm in the back, but you can use any combo of 10/12, 12/12, or 12/15. Depends how aggressive you want to go. 12/15 rubs sometimes on big bumps with 4 adults but I rarely have 4 adults in my car so I don't really worry about it. Here's a pic of the 12/15's

 

a friend of mine is getting rid of his 5 soon, i think he has CF grills. i'll give him a shout, think he's getting rid of them cheap. PM me if your interested.

 

I would imagine you'd get rubbing in the rear. Then again, both JOHN and I lowered our cars. You'd be fine if you keep it stock. If I do coilovers though, I think 12/15 might be too much for both front and rear if I do an aggressive drop.

Up to you though. Either option makes a big difference, compared to stock.

 

You have 2 red M5's, John?

 

of course. Doesn't everyone?

 

lol....
