Q: Do I need to replace my tires when upgrading wheels?

It depends on the size and type of wheels you’re upgrading to. If you’re changing the wheel diameter or width, you may need new tires that are compatible with the new size. You should maintain the overall diameter of the wheel and tire combination to avoid issues with speedometer accuracy, handling, and ride quality.

Love the look of these as they add a more aggressive look for the front. Same subtle style that goes along very well with the front lip for non-performance M3.

After ordering the springs I waited a bit because they were on back order. However they were worth the wait. I was afraid that the improved stance would compromise the ride, but it totally didn’t. The ride is improved and the look is perfect! Thank you Blake for the friendly service!
