Request: F10 with 20" M6 rims...

Vinfast · 02-18-2011, 07:53 PM

I used the ET35 because that's what Alan at **********s.com said would fit the car. He didn't know if I would need spacers to keep them from hitting the brake caliper, but I didn't.

The spoiler is a 3D Design spoiler. The carbon fiber from the dealer was too small for me. It would hardly be noticeable on a black car.

The H&R springs handle much better than stock. There is a LOT less bouce in the front when accelerating and stopping. It feels much more like my 08 550i M-sport.

I don't hear any noises or vibrations at higher speeds.

My only quibble with the springs is that the front is a little lower than I wanted it. The H&R's were supposed to lower it 1.4" in the front and 1.3" in the back. The front seems a little lower than that, but the back is perfect.

I wonder if there are any spacers to lift the front springs just a little -- probably not.
This is my first mod on a $70Kplus car, and so far, I'm pretty satisfied -- love the 20s over the 19s. Now, I just need to sell my M351 19" M sport wheels and tires.

The car looks great with the 20" M6 style wheels and I'm glad to have been part of this project. How are you liking the new RD Sport springs vs the H&R Sport springs btw?

Thanks -- I like the RD sport springs much better -- better ride for the adaptive suspension and they raised the front up a little. I only wish that BMW would have made the whole struts a little stiffer like my "08 550i M-sport --- but I'm still happy with them.

What spacers would I need to fit 19" M6 on my f11?

Vinfast · 04-10-2011, 09:04 PM

I Have no idea, but you do need them as opposed the the 20" M6. Mine cleared pretty well.

Due to the larger caliper size found on the F10 chassis, a spacer will be required on the front for clearance. We have confirmed fitment on the 19x8.5 ET35 w/ a 5mm spacer and 19x9.5 ET33 perfectly fine on another customers 2011 BMW F10 550i.

Any pics of those M6 20" in Matte Black on an F10?

We have sold a few of the M6 style wheels in 20" in Matte black, however, no one has sent us back installed pictures. Either way, here are a few pics of the wheels for you to check out!
