Z Performance on my M8

So, here they are, my new wheels.
Z Performance Forged R
21x10j et19 275/30/21
21x11j et22 285/30/21

I would say the offsets are perfect, yet the car has to be lowered on springs


Maybe on the next set of tires I would go 285 front / 295 rear as I have seen many people do it, anyone did that on their lowered M8 yet?

Those wheels are fire 🔥 what exhaust is on your car? Catless or stock downpipes?

It's g power deeptone, with secondary cat delete, very happy with it. Minimal drone when the exhaust gets hot, other than that 10/10

dogocity Hahaha, great wheels for the M8 though, compliment the car very well for sure. May be a rougher ride but definitely worth it!

Nice wheels.
I highly recommend to keep the front tire OEM width which is 275.
One time I replaced the front tire with wider one (275 instead of 265) on M6 and the ride was not good. It added lots of steering shaking at high speed and balancing could not help. Basically with wider tire at front suspension will be affected but I believe with 295 at rear you will be more happy and car looks more aggressive.

Well basically the rear OEM is 285.
Going from 285 to 295 shouldn’t be a big deal on M8.
Maybe a little understeering but I would expect a bit better traction too.

Did those rear wheel arch extenders come with your car or did you add them?

As Justao stated before, in EU these come standard, don’t really see the point in them though!

In 2017 I was at the launch show of the M5 F90 model in Warsaw and the back was 295 instead of 285. I don't know why they changed it later.

I added the full arch protectors front and rear on my M8
Hopefully they protect from rock chips. I like them. They add some unique type of look.
