Just finished shooting some pictures, Staggered 20's on 2003 M45

[b16gsr]

Had shared some pictures with Cake Daddy and wanted to share with everyone else.

Wheels are a secret at this point searched for a long time, this is a 40mm front and 48 mm offset which is almost perfect for the car.

Tires are 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 Yokahama AVS ES100.

Let me know what you think.





has a fat a**

sweet! beware haters! lol very sweet ride. great job

[auditech10]

Well at least the white car looks nice... and I think the offsets are at least 10mm too high, but that is my personal preference. All you need to do now is find some springs and lower an inch or so.Sweet car!Cheers

[b16gsr]

thanks for the comment. i sent you an email about the tail lights.

i would like to lower it, but my wife drives it daily, so that would present some problems as well as no eibachs being available anymore.

I am a little jealous my friend. That looks sinister

and I think the offsets are at least 10mm too high, but that is my personal preference. Cheers

what do you mean? too high. what is the "ideal offset" ?

Im at 34mm front & 40mm rear

I thought the higher the better, especially if you are dropping the car, but please educate me

[b16gsr]

thank you sir, as you were the inspiration behind this project. she seems to love it, it feels very nice and stable on the highway at speed.

look forward to a couple of more subtle things and then will just enjoy it.

[CakeDaddy]

keep me posted. I cant think of anything else to do that would be subtle. My last mini project was yellow piaa bulbs in my fogs (which never get used) I hated that stale looking oem bulb.

the pic is horrible! this was with my diskette loaded camera

Looks good..

For your height, the offset is fine IMHO... not too aggressive but flush...

Offset has everything to do with the wheel width though... I am assuming those are 8.5 / 9.5 wheels?

thank you.

exactly, this is right for the stance, it is actually an 8.5/10 wheel width. i went with this style to keep them inside the fenders, and keep them out of curbs.

[ClutchKick]

Then dont stress about the offset at all its perfect for you then

I like a really aggressive offset, but ill be rolling / pulling my rear fenders...

my next mini project, will be switching the foglights to something, not sure at this point, as well as the OEM LED tailights, and switching the cabin lighting out to pure white LED's.

i would like to do a small rear spoiler like the one caug did.

we will see, just going to enjoy it for now.

[Jackhammer]

closer the offset to zero (lower) the more "Deep dish" you have...but smaller width you can run

haha wait until I show you guys my wheel choice and then we can talk about flushness.your car looks GREAT, man, i wasnt putting it down at all! actually I am jealous of the white car, and it seems very faintly so that you have a black interior to top it off??? if you do then as of right now you are my role model, loli always wanted a white on black but found NONE AT ALL for 2 months. ended up saying fucck it and got what i know which is black on black.cheers all

[mrmark]

Nice.....a little to much bling styling for me, but it's what you like.

I too like more of a flush fender/stretched tire look. You have a very safe and conservative size/offset setup.

[auditech10]

hey mark any updates yet? email me whenever you think about it.cheers

well thank you for the comments. actually it is the willow interior, looked for black as well, but would have had to drive a long distance to get one.

let me know about the factory LED tailights, i sent you an email and am potentailly interested in a set. on the white car i think they would look great.

thanks for all of the kind comments. if this car would have been my driver, i would have gone with the more flush with the stretched tire look. i actually tried on a set of 225/35/20 front and a 255/30/20 rear, but it was not enough sidewall for the look of the wheel.

I am thinking of getting 20s on my 2004 m45, but it makes it look like it is sitting up even higher, and that's a problem, considering it is already high enough. We need to find some company that will get quality suspension for our M45s!

[export01]

Good find on the rims , they look tight. Not my style though with the ride height...you should definitly keep your eye's peeled for some springs.
