I still need a drop pretty badly, and the contours will stay on until I get a nice set of aftermarket rims. It drives like a completely different car now - I love it...

LMFAO.. mmmayybeee.. I have known him since second grade (he was in first).. and we both work at Perot Systems. He lives down the street from me.. so basically, yes..

The first pictures was the day after I got my car and the last pictures were last night after the game.

What kind of tires do you have? They look pretty beefy (especially from the rear)

+1 BFG I'm unimpressed with them.
I had them the KDW2's just like you have.
I now have Potenza RE-01R's I love them I noticed a difference also. :)
But not the KDW2's are a bad tire they're good.

wow, so you added some smaller diameter wheels and a wing, and it now drives better?

Anything wrong with that? Difference between "friends" and "family" imo.

+1 on the BFGs not being the greatest tires ever but theyre good highperformance all season tires plus we got a good deal since we both picked up a set. Looks good Ahmad! :alright

I didnt say that the wing made a difference in the drive of the car, I just assumed everyone would understand that it makes a difference in the look... and if you dont believe that different size/weight rims and different size/compound tires dont make a difference - you are welcome to come over and drive the car, swap the old ones on and drive it again. :rolleyes

I am not going to be tracking the car anytime soon, and these are good tires for what they are. I am happy with them, I will leave it at that.

Looks good, but you need to do a proper shoot to do the car justice.:)

I had 255s with rolled fenders and GC coilovers. That sucked!! they rubbed everywhere but maybe that was because they were kumho gigantor 255/40s :dunno I would never do that again

Mehdate is running the same 255's on 8.5's with slammed GC's and rolled fenders and is rubbing. He said he was going to raise his a little but will prob need to get the fenders pulled anyways. I dont want to go too low on my M3 because it is mainly a daily driver.. I will make my P5 the track/race car.

I should be a little better with the 8.5's. Mehdate and I both would have done 245's looking back now. The BFG's are just wider size for size compared to *most* tires. Ohh well, not like these will last too long with the random runs we seem to have.

Yeah, on my M3, from what the guy told me only rubs in the rear on big bumps, but no front rubbing. The suspension is quite stiff though, but I'm running 255 Falken Azenis RT-615s on 17x8.5 Koseis, for now :D. Some slightly larger tires and wheels will be coming soon :cool.

Haha, nice! I would go so far as to say I'm immobile so to speak, but not for long! Got another sponsor though, he'll be providing the widebody front fenders and rear flares :).
