Baby Got New Shoes

The_M6 · 12-19-2016, 03:28 PM

Finally got my wheels mounted and I'm glad I took my time to get the right wheels with the right offsets.
To my knowledge, I have the first set of Ferrada FR3, matte black with gloss lip on an F10. The wheels are 20x9 +35, 255/30-20 up front and 20x10.5 +38, 285/30-20 rear. I kept the 10mm spacers up front from my 464M wheels but will likely replace them with 5mm spacers and move the 10mm to the rear after I install my springs after the holidays...they've been sitting in my basement for months...lol!

Anyway, here she is, next up...exhaust and ???[IMG][/IMG]

Yeah, I bought the springs right after I bought the car but was waiting to do the springs and wheels at the same time but my wheel and suspension guy got hurt so I went to another shop today to do the wheels and I'll have to do the springs when I get back from vacation in January.

looks AWESOME!

those red calipers are BLING! what i don't get is if you got the right offesets, why run spacers

Even with the proper offset, the wheels aren't exactly flush. I like the wheel to sit dead even with the fender lip or maybe just a hair inside but I don't like the look of the wheel not sitting flush. I actually can't stand the look of "stanced" or "slammed" cars where the rear wheels are tucked up in the wheel well and tons of negative camber.

Looking good, like that combo.

xxpanipuri · 12-19-2016, 09:23 PM

looking good! I was looking at those same wheels in the polished alum finish before i bought my vorsteiners. I do love that classic 5 spoke concave look! can't go wrong with that.

Which springs are you going to install?

Looks good now, should look DOPE when dropped!

Thanks man, I've got the H&R springs in my basement. My installer had surgery so I've been waiting on him.

got it! so i'm assuming you couldn't do custom offsets rather go with what the manufacturer made for the F10 correct? when i did mine it was all custom and between me and GetYourWheels they wanted to make sure my wheels were poking just enough without having to run spacers

These wheels are the correct offset, +35/+38 but that doesn't give me the look I'm going for although very close. After checking out the rears, I may not need the spacers, 10.5 is just about flush. We'll see how she sits when my suspension is done.

Beautiful wheels!

The overall look will be improved a lot after lowering.

jjh2oman · 12-20-2016, 04:23 PM

I really like the look with the new wheels, the red calipers are really accentuated by the dark wheels. Looks good, man.

I just got new wheels for my car, and it's carbon black as well. I was debating going with the gloss black, but thought it wouldn't provide enough of a contrast. Your pics show me I was obviously wrong. Doh!

Carbon graphite wheels on carbon black... can't go wrong with dark wheels on our carbon black cars!

@jjh2oman my car is actually Imperial Blue. I just happened to take these pics as the sun was setting so it looks darker in the evening. In the bright sun, you get glints of purple, blue, and black all at the same time. Love the color!!!
