Hahaha you're so right! I didn't even realize that... Thank you for the comments.

So you have 21's on stock M Sport suspension and that is how it sits? How is the performance? Do you feel you lost power at all? Is the ride bouncy?

Yes it looks lower because of the offset which brings the wheels pretty well flush to the body of the car & I'm using slightly taller tires. The tire size should be 245/30/21 & 275/25/21, instead I put 245/35/21 & 275/30/21 rear. Gives it more rubber so it's smoother.

I'm planning on getting Michelin pilot super sport going to go with 285/30/21 on the rear instead.

Any loss in performance? Do you feel like it's slower?

Haven't felt any loss in performance, each wheel with the tire weighs about 8-10lb more than the 351m 19" wheels & RFT depending if you're comparing the fronts or rears.

So it's a total of about 38-40lb more, I doubt if you put that much weight in your car you will notice a difference in performance.

I don't track my car or anything, I do some spirited driving & the car does handle way better. I Can take ramps at much higher speeds & I get much better traction. The car feels like it's on rails.

I think the black F10 looks insane with those rims, white is cool too but very unusual to see X line rims kinda work so well.

When you bottom the suspension out on big bumps or going through dips on a road at speed - do you scrape at all with that setup? The joys of RWD, i cant afford all this staggered goodness.

Thanks man, I actually rarely bottom out, the EDC in sport mode holds firm and the H&R springs are great. I think I scraped once on a bumpy turn with 4 ppl in the car, thats about it. Lucked out....

Norris, which rear diffuser is that? It looks really good with the stock 550 mufflers. Could you please share a link to the vendor? Thx.

Firstly, congrats on the car, looks outstanding.

I just ordered a set of the 21" 312's with Pirelli RFT's for my F10 m-sport .....just a couple of questions;

1) straight bolt on .... i.e. Can I use the bolts from 19" 351M ?
2) any rubbing issues?

Cheers in advance

Sorry for the delays in getting back to you. I got this diffuser from Ebay its a vorsteiner replica. It was cheap & not a perfect fit if you try to install it yourself. but with the right body shop they shaved off some excess material from it & made it fit 100%, I asked them to paint it gloss black too.

My trunk opener still works perfectly fine when I wave my foot under the back of the bumper

Thank you! Yes they're straight bolt on using original bolts from 19" 351m.
No rubbing issues. In fact the pirelli rft front tires are actually a slightly smaller in diameter than most 245/35/21 for some reason.

Post some pictures once you put them on

Thanks for your reply.
