Prodrive GC-012L on M135i

Rims are Prodrive GC-012L with Michelin PSS: 225/35R19ET44 (19x8.5) front and 255/30R19ET51 (19x9) rear, sills with M Performance stickers, not very standout but feel just right, ride height seems a bit too high after wheel change for unknown reason (on paper should be almost identical to OE)

FYI: if you are interested in the unsprung mass reduction, it is about 6lb (2.7kg) per wheel - for instance rear wheel + tyre from 52lb down to 46lb.

Looks good! Is the ET and offset enough to be flushed with the fenders?

The offset is almost exactly the same as OE (47F/52R) so I don't think so

Indeed... btw anyone has experience with M Performance Chassis? (Claimed to stiffen a bit plus lower another 10mm compare to Non-adaptive M Sport Suspension)

Offset might be similar but your new wheels are wider so they will stick out more by 14mm front and 13mm rear

There are also options of lowering with Eibach or H&R springs with using exsisting dampers and also option with coilovers like KW or Bilstein

The rear is more noticeable but can't tell about the front. Yet both are still not stretched beyond the widest point of the wheel arch...

Looking at sizes available for this wheel below

http://www.prodrive-japan.com/produc...012l/size.html

I think you may have the 8.0 ET45 front wheel as 8.5" ET47 doesn't seem to be available?

Maybe that's why it doesn't look as far out as they only stick out more by 6mm front if that's the case
