Looks good, what are the offsets?

Bimmer Barney · 11-02-2013, 10:07 AM

Side View. No suspension mods and essentially no gap!

What difference in the ride do you notice/feel?

Haven't had a chance to hit up the twisties. I will say the ride is less harsh having a little more sidewall just driving over speed bumps and expansion gaps on the freeway. Car still feels planted otherwise.

Nice artistic shots. Do you have any non-instagram corner views front and rear? I know they aren't as attractive to the millennial generation but..

Sorry, guess you'll have to buy your own set to get the pics you want

Sounds like you may be a bit out of touch with the times. Old Guys Rule!

Very nice choice! You should have one of the lightest combos - the arc 8 and dws in 17. This would have to be one of the best performance set ups.

Hey mate, sorry to bump your old thread. I really love the look of the apex wheels...

I was just wondering if the rolling diameter between the front set of wheels and the rear set of wheels caused you any problems with the bmw dtc, traction/stability control and Tyre pressure monitors?

I’m not up with the technical side of the cars.. I was just wondering if the system was reset from the cabin if the car coped with the difference alright?

Any advice/tips/help would be Awesome.

Thank you.

Thanks mate I appreciate it.

Can you tell us why you went with a staggered setup? Just curious.
I'm considering the same but a square 17 setup. Apparently it handles more neutrally/with less understeer?
I get a lot of lift off oversteer, with the stock square setup so not sure if I should do this.
