Hi Guys,

Just got these from a fellow forum member here that gave me a great deal on them! and they look fantastic trust me!
Limo tints next week then the front bumper and side skirts!

By the way, rear wheel and tire fit perfect no rub issues 285/35/19
The front had rub issues with the stock M5 tires 255/40/19, the rubbing was below the bottom plate of the spring, nowhere else it rubbed, so i reduced the size to 245/35/19 and its perfect!

Those factory M5 wheels are not easy to find.

They really look good on your car !!

Congrats............Awesome choice, thats exactly how I started my ride, well actually did eibach springs first, then the wheels a few weeks later, then M-Tech front and sides.

Got to love the 166 wheels...so clean and agressive!

Thanks guys,

I have a question for you guys that done the M front and side skirts upgrade.
Can i do it myself? is there a guide somewhere? (Ive searched and didn't find) or do i have to take my car to a body shop?

If you watch while the bodyshop do it, it's actually easy for rear and sides. the front is more involved.

Side skirts are really easy, the front is a little more involved, but yes you can do it your self. I did both myself w/o any issues. Try doing a search on here or looking in the DIY section, there have been a few members who've documented this, with pictures.
