Pic Request - F10 with 21s and H&R Sport springs

I finally lowered my car on H&R springs. Big Thanks to Joe and the crew at Performance Technic!!!

Next mod is going to be rims. Still debating on 20s and 21s. I think I am leaning more towards doing 20s since I think you need coilovers to make 21s look right. However I am still curious.... Does anyone have pictures of their f10s on 21s with H&R Springs. Please post them if you have them!

Thanks,
Jimmy

Mine has H&R with 20s. Can't imagine 21s or the ride it would have.

You are in Cali so at least our roads are good and don't have the potholes and mess of other states unless you drive in LA a lot. But I had 20s for a short time and went back to 19s mainly because my wife drives it most of the time. The 20s were perfect for me, look, handling, etc. As Tulsa said above, cant imagine 21s. There are a couple of guys on here with them but unless they are really light weight, I am betting the ride will be severely compromised/a bit too rough. As you likely know, the lower the profile tire, the less tire there is to absorb bumps, irregular roads, etc.

They are 32. I have a 5mm spacer up front as well to experiment with them a little more flush. Although I am getting some rubbing pulling into places with an incline and the wheels turned. Very slight but I'll probably end up removing the spacers.
- Still can't find out the rear offsets. Called COR numerous times. Most likely a 40..

You think I'm asking for trouble?

I have 35 up front and ordered 10mm spacers making it a 25

Best in the rear should be 36

Maybe lol. I only have the problem when the wheels are turned at a 45* angle or so and I'm going up or down a steep incline\decline. i.e. Where a driveway meets the sidewalk. Never had the problem before the spacers.

Here are some more. Ride quality with the 21s and springs is just fine. It has the electronic suspension so it can be put in comfort, but even with normal it is very good.

21" is the perfect rim size for our cars. I used to have 20's and there is really no comparison. The ride in not bad, and 21's really compliment the drop with H&Rs.

That looks hot
Absolutely right though
I live my 20s but the 21s set this car off

What are your front offsets?

Also I think you have the 535 correct? If so, remember the 550 is much lower in the front due to the weight. You could be ok with a more aggressive stance.

I ended up going with 21s! Definitely the right choice for the f10. Ride quality isnt much different from stock. At least on California roads.

Ok, I stand corrected, those three cars with 21s look incredible. Not that I didn't think they would look good, just the ride issue. if the ride is good, then even better because they look great. Thanks for ruining my 19s Had convinced myself they looked fine, especially since the wife is driving it mostly.

I finally got the computer to work so here are the 21" pix.

Sorry for your confusion but
at least you will get a size that looks proper on our cars!!!
