hi guys, i am in need of some assistance here please...these are the wheels i am planning on buying http://www.modbargains.com/_e/BMW/pr...10_5_20x12.htm

they are basically custom made to order any offset and width you need them to be...only in 20's

i would like to get the most aggressive stance possible without having to roll my fenders. i am lowered on h&r sports and dont plan on getting coils anytime soon.

based on your guys' experience, out of the choices given on that page which is the best setup to go with for what im trying to achieve?

there are many offsets to choose from and im not sure which to pick for front and rear.

thank you

also might want to hold off until acuteperformance gets back from his vacay: he carries f-stars also and I'm sure his pricing is also very competitive... he returns 4/30 ( https://5series.net/forums/topic/971...&#entry1153758 )


trinity also carries f-stars

Let me know when you're ready to buy. Support a vendor on the forum is +1
