Since GT is a fairly large 3 series, I was looking for an aggressive stance, and hopefully improve handling at the same time.

The new set-up looks great, in my opinion. In terms of handling it is still hard to say as tires were installed today and they will need to be broken in a bit.

The following is the setup I used:
1. 20" 728M wheels (OEM Concept), 8.5 ET35 fronts (w/ 10mm spacers) and 9.5 ET40 rears.
2. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires, 245/35 fronts and 285/30 rears.

So far setup feels great, no rubbing in front nor in the rear. Will provide an update on handling part once the tires are broken in. Here are few pics from this afternoon.
Sweet setup. I want to upgrade to 19s but those 20s look badass. Forsure upgrading my brakes and calipers when they’re due.
Thanks. Very happy with both the look/stance and how the car feels on the road.
