M6 Gran Coupe Wheels and Drop

mrainv23 · 05-11-2015, 07:45 PM

Michelin PSS just arrived today and finally got my summer 21s on.

mrainv23 · 05-11-2015, 07:49 PM

305/25zr 21 and 265/30zr 21 michelins on f510 wheels and H&R drop

Whered you find those 305/25s??

Thats a come up. I spent so much time tracking down a pair but i got really lucky and found them hiding. They are almost impossible to find. Id love to get a spare one or two.

The drop looks great too, which wheels are those again? Also do the H&R springs still work with the dampening controls?

More pics, please! That looks really tough!

mrainv23 · 05-12-2015, 08:45 AM

I will post more this weekend when she is all cleaned up.

Nice setup... BTW, do you know by chance what's the ET of your rims?

mrainv23 · 05-12-2015, 09:53 AM

+25 front and rear 21x9 and 21x10.5.
I am most likely going to add 10mm spacers in the rear to provide a more aggressive look. With the camber they should remain rub free with 305s.

I doubt youll have any rub. Most 21inch set ups ive seen are 9.5 in the front and 11 in the rear so you should be good.

I'm sure you won't have any issue with 10 mm spacer. Just keep in mind your current setup is almost the same as stock (ET 19, 295) for inside (1mm ) and outside (0 mm) measurement measurement. I have seen members installed 15 mm (rear) with no issue.

Nice.

Don't know how you do it on the Indy roads.....was there last summer and bent a wheel on a hole on 465....roads were bad.

mrainv23 · 05-12-2015, 07:17 PM

Same thing happened to me last year with my f10 that's why I passed on adv1s and hres.

HXS · 05-12-2015, 10:35 PM

Are those Avant Gardes? I heard they're soft as butter. Can't imagine them on such low pro tires also.

OEMs > any AG wheel all day anyday.

mrainv23 · 05-13-2015, 05:56 AM

HXS they are definitely lighter than OEM wheels. Keep you posted on the softness, they ride great so far.

Bottom line if I bend one, no big deal I have my OEM wheels and they are just $500 dollars to replace and don't take 6 weeks to make. I purposely went this route because of the frustration I had with bending forged wheels in the past and the cost of replacing them.

Yes OEM wheels are clearly better quality.
