Thanks again Mike and Vic for your patience, answering all my questions and indulging me in the exhaust sound off! Hanging out during the photo shoot was excellent. Next time I'm back in SoCal I'll def make Cars & Coffee and stop by EAS. Good times!

EAS is good times---- too bad they dont have a bar and tv

Cool M5's.

The fitment with OEM + spacers looks pretty similar to the HRE fitment, at least in the pics.

you are correct:

stock et's are 34 front and rear and Mark runs a 12mm spacer up front and a 10mm in the rear which creates et 22 up front and et 24 in the rear.

My et's are 25 in the front and 26 in the rear but I have 9.5 inch fronts and 10.5 inch rears so Im pushed out just a few mm more than he is with the spacers front and rear.

If you are considering changing rims, go with 20's with the exact offset used by Vic. After seeing his setup in person, I am sure its the way to go. Looks absolutely beautiful and maintains the performance setup from the factory.

Form must follow Function right?

Absolutely!

Vic, how did you like the spoiler in gloss black on the AW, with all the other mods in gloss black? Im doing the roof gloss black as well as the door handles this weekend. Just debating on if I should do the spoiler. My car is AW with dark tint, and everything else is gloss black except for the m5 emblem.

When I did have the factory spoiler I liked it in gloss black. It sets a nice contrast versus the remainder of the trunk lines. It will make even more sense since you are doing the roof as well.

Isn't the trunk spoiler in these pics the OEM CF spoiler?

During cold start, the mufflers would rattle, however, after the adjustment today all is good in the universe!
