640d help with new wheels 🤕

[Yoshima]

hello! i have a 640d and i messed up with new wheels , got 21" concaver cvr5 9.5j front et20 rear 11.5j et38 ,tires are both front & rear 35 profile and too large for any lowering , if i went 30 & 25 profile would this make h&r springs possible? or have you any other tire suggestion or ideas to solve this or should i just call it a loss? Et is aggressive and car sits too high as i should have known it would before ordering 21" but i just didnt think and mistake is made now ! Car is on stock msport suspension i have ordered h&r springs.

Looks very sharp as it sits currently.

You can see here better how high it is at front , and also images of the poke im working with, i do believe with smaller tires i could get that gap down with springs , also and image of the rear jacked up you can see how better it would be with a slight drop

I personally think it just looks wrong. The tires seem too narrow for the wheels - they look stretched - so that's some major curb rash waiting to happen, but the wheels just stick out too far, and there is no fixing that.

Yea i messed up the et , but curb rash aside i think it would look pretty cool if i pulled off a drop as it is , i do agree though. 😵*💫

Going to put springs in and see if fitment is even going to be possible with 25 profile tires , if not il just stick to my black wheels and sell the concavers , shame though they really are awsome wheels in person

Meh, don't feel bad, I made an expensive boo boo when I ordered my 3PC forged aluminum piece from Variant Wheels. Not their fault by mine for not paying attention. Ended up re-ordering two of them again, and stuck with the other two...BTW, not for my X5, but my 2006 Mustang which is my show car.

I think it is beautiful and would leave as it is! But you should be happy with it, so:
- There's nothing you can do to correct the offset & rim width. Changing tyres will not help, because higher profile tyre might not fit (?) although it would fill in the wheel arch better. Lower profile would look more off as the current one as it would be stretched even more. Wider would look better, but there is no space if you want to lower...
- Better to sell the rims before curb rash gets you or tyre man scratches them while changing the tyres
- liberty walk...

My wheels are 20 inches but quite simillar in width. My fronts are 9.5 et20 running Michelin 275/35/20, and my rears are 11 et37 running 305/30/20. My car is on KW V3, and I set it quite low. I do get occasional small rub in the inner fender, but that is fine by me. For the front I suggest considering replacing the fenders with M6 fenders, as those will definitely clear your front wheels. The concave wheels looks awesome 👍
