Mounted up some 303m 's , add to the list

Trying to keep that OEM / lightly modded look (for now) so I scored some 303m wheels. Wrapped them in Kumho ECSTA PS91 255/35/20 and 295/30/20. Slightly over 1% larger tire but I wanted a little more rubber. Very happy with the outcome, 295's in the rear make that a#$ pop . Painted the calipers black too, had to get rid of the rusty cap, was pissing me off lol. I debated on putting an ///M at all and which direction, went with facing the hub, like "most" brake kits. Its just a high temp vinyl, see how long it last.....

No spacers, sits flush enough for me.
ACS springs

Also my sis was in town with my dads old e39 so had to snap a pic. Dad has a 7 series now in the garage.

*note one of the gap pictures I jacked up the corner to make sure I wouldn't rub, all good

Do you have your fenders rolled/pulled? tire sizes sounds a little wider than norm.

Looks great nonetheless!

Thanks, no the fenders are not rolled/pulled. I wanted wide and less gap so I didn't need spacers. The 303m are 10" wide in the rear so I was able to run wider as well.

These tires are little over 1% larger which only helps my speedometer become a little closer to true speed.

You made the correct choice with 255/295 tires.

Thank you sir, I am very happy with the outcome. I did get scared for a sec while lowering the car back down but as you know the suspension comes inward when compressed. Gave me a big smile when it tucked right in

Looks perfect, but then again, I'm partial.
