Been wanting to do the rep m5 fenders but not totally clear if they are as wide or just have the grills for looks only.
Metal and polypropylene reps.

19x9.5 +22 on 245/40, 19x10.5 +22 on 265/35

Rear fenders rolled only.

Camber for stance and no rubbing, if you're about that life.

Thanks, can you tell me which metal M5 rep fenders you got and if it's the same width as the factory M5 fenders? Does the Poly M5 front bumper rep work with the wider m5 rep fenders?

Any other shots?

Some shit on eBay for less than 350. All over the place...stock body width.

I know that someone forced an M-Tech front to fit the real OEM wide M5 fenders...also need new inner liners for the real M5 Fenders.

So you fit 19x9.5 +22et with 40 series tires on narrow body front fenders? Sorry, just trying to figure out how you managed to do it as I would think it would rub.

Yes. Increased negative camber for clearance, no rubbing, and tendency for oversteer under spirited driving.

I wouldn't recommend this for most people.

The ISC's have camber adjustments up top and the spring rate can be built to your specs.

Shout out to ISC for a spectacularly made coilover!!

Negative camber, in case someone wants to ask.

True; I chew through tires...as do most people who use a car. I've aligned the toe correctly to increase their life.

Stock rears are close to -2 as well, if I'm not mistaken, although they generally have an easier life than the fronts.

I had terrible experience with my ISC. I was an early buyer on the coilovers.

The rears was stiff so I went back to stock. The fronts creak and bottom out all the time.

Did ISC redo their suspension!? really love my E61 for a daily might just get KW V3 but they are so damn expensive!
