Thanks!!!!, Yes they are great warm weather tires. It snowed today in Charlotte and my tires slipped a couple of times. With you being in Florida, you should have no issues.

You guys need to check out a new Camaro SS with the track pack the poke on that car is absurd for a OEM setup.

This drop looks pretty good to me.
Do you want to go lower?
What dont you like about the Dinan springs?

The dinan springs are great. I'm just accustomed to having coilovers. I don't want to go lower I need more stability out of the shocks.
The shockware is okay but it's not enough. I was looking into the KW plug n play DDC or Bilstien DDC B8 shocks whenever they come out.

I am looking hard at the KW DDC Plug & Play myself. I've actually never done just springs but the options are limited if you want to keep some kind of EDC.

I started a thread trying to get some feedback on the KWs but no takers in several days. I have read some reviews on other forums (F80) and as always there are mixed reviews. For my needs I think they will be fine. I want to maintain some type EDC (some owners are reporting not that much difference from "Comfort" to "Sport") and have the ability to set the ride height exactly where I want it.

The expense to me is not a huge issue. Some people spend $2k on wheels. I'd rather spend the money getting my ride height were I want it.

I recently purchased a 2016 ZHP and have had a lot of issues with the front splitter clearing speed bumps and road transitions. In 5 weeks, I've scraped so many times that I was wondering how the previous owner didn't destroy the carbon fiber splitter.

I found out today what the issue is...please be sure the correct tire sizes are on the car! The dealership put new tires on the car pre sale and put 255/40-18s on the rear, but put 225/40-18s on the front. The rear tire is 26" tall and the front is 25". The door placard states the front should be 225/45 (26"), not 40. That difference is 1/2" from the road to center hub. Now add in the angle with the front end overhang and my front clearance is only 2.75" at the splitter. I'm thinking that putting the correct tires on the front will raise it close to 3/4" and give me 3.5" of clearance.

I'm sure it will change the look considerably.

BMW dealer?

Cant belive they can not even put the correct tires sizes on a car.

scottmoyer · 05-09-2019, 09:31 PM

Yes. BMW dealership. I called them today and was told that the tires need to be the correct size to be CPO. I guess I'm getting new front tires soon.

That dealership should be ashamed to have made that mistake. I scraped my front lip a lot when I first got my ZHP but after installing the aftermarket wheels and some adjustment while driving, it does not happen much anymore. You will still need to pay attention while driving with the stock setup, but it will be better than what you have now.

Next time I will go with 245/40/19 on the front as I like the aggressive look but it sticks out just a hair too much. It does not rub, but I am on the stock track handling pack suspension.

I went with these tires after all of the great reviews on tire rack and on this forum. I like the grip and turn in is quick. Once I break them in I will do a full review.

Wow, those wheels look great. How much did powder coating end up running you? Is there a specific paint code for those or did you just say gloss black?

Cire22 · 06-05-2019, 12:27 PM

Man I love how this car looks, I think we have the same thing going on with our cars, aggressive but classy at the same time. I contemplated on lowering mine as well, but decided against it, I think the nose drop and wide wheels help with the aggressive look of the car. I have my cars twin pictured on the first page and we have the same set up, But I like how mine sits right now, just my personal preference

I picked them up from another forum member. He already had them powder coated black when i purchased them. He said they where coated gloss black.

Looks Dope Man. I am not going to lower mine either. If I did, I would rip off my front lip. lol

gdgraph · 06-07-2019, 10:21 AM

Thanks the for the info, they look great. I may have mine powder coated like that. I'm hoping it doesn't run me more than $100 a wheel since it's probably another $100 to mount and balance the tires afterwards.

Hi Guys, I have a BMW 428i Gran coupe with stock 17” wheels. I just purchased a set of M4 wheel sized at 255/35/19” (Front) and 275/35/19” (Rear). I have two questions 🤓
1. Does anyone have experience with putting these wheels on a 428i? Would it look weird with offset?
2. The new wheels came of a M4 with TPMS. Can I just install those wheels on my car without changing the TPMS? If I do, would I have any errors on the TPMS? I read some people saying put your old sensors and the new wheels but that’s a lot of work.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It will not look weird, offset would be perfect, the tpms did not work on my 2013, but if your car is newer it might.

Post more pictures, your car is gorgeous!

I'm thinking about swapping my stock 442Ms for a set of 437Ms on my F32 (stock height) and I've been reading through some old threads to see if it would be feasible. Did you ever figure out if the track handling package affected the ride height? It seems like some people's 437Ms poke out a lot but yours seemed like they were pretty flush.
