Here are a few pics of my new Avant Garde wheels wrapped in Michelin PS4S. They are stock 20x9 and 20x10.5 with custom offsets of 35 in the front and 25 in the rear.

 

Great looking combo!

 

Looks lowered (and good!), what springs are you running?

 

What size tires?

 

Almost cringe when I see a 'check out my custom wheels' thread, but VERY NICE.

Now get those low-dust brake pads and you are set.

 

Very nice! Enjoy! Thanks for sharing!

 

Thank you OzXFR. They are the H&R springs. Car is a daily and to me the change in ride comfort is unnoticeable.

 

FR500GT the tires sizes are the stock 255/35/20 and 295/30/20.

 

Looks great! No problems with driveability with the springs? Any noticeable improvement in handling? I'm in Tampa, too.

 

Everyone, with the exception of perhaps one person, has been thrilled with the H&R springs. I believe the same can be said about the VAP Springs. The choice gets down to ride height.

 

Looks amazing brotha!!! Glad you got set up on these they are Fireeeeeee

 

Thanks Mark G. I think I may have met you at DuPont C&C a few months back. No problems with the ride. Only a few scrapes on the most extreme grades, including some ridiculous speed shelves around here, but only to the sacrificial chin spoiler. The Michelins hook up so much better than the P-Zeros. Nearly zero tire spin on pulls starting around 30 mph.

 

That wasn't me, but I'm up for the next meet! Tire spin thankfully isn't a problem, but I'll still switch to Michelins wih the next set.

 

Looks great! Did you change out the springs or do it yourself? I'm curious, because I had to do it myself on a new BMW 535i Msport I bought in back 2012. I put a set of the AC Schnitzer racing springs on it with a set of Morr rims wrapped in the Pilot Super Sports. I had to do it myself because they didn't want to bear the liability of installing after market/non-OEM Springs.

Also, did Avant Garde already know the off-sets needed to get the tires to sit flush with the fender?

 

Looks great! Did you find a shop that changed out your springs for you or did you or do it yourself? I'm curious, because I had to do it myself on a new BMW 535i Msport I bought in back 2012. I put a set of the AC Schnitzer racing springs on it with a set of Morr custom off-set forged three piece rims wrapped in the Pilot Super Sports. I had to do the springs myself because they didn't want to bear the liability of installing after market/non-OEM Springs.

Any good performance shop will be able to handle this job with 3-4 hours of labor (yes, that includes coffee breaks). Not having a safe way to raise all 4s simultaneously, I let someone with a lift handle work on the underside of the car.

 

The rear spring/strut assemblies are fairly easy to DIY but the fronts are a PITA as you need to undo and remove a number of suspension links and all the bolts and nuts holding those links need to be done up tight with the car back down on the wheels, something that's pretty much impossible to do without a hoist or a pit.

 

I had Crown Motorsports install the springs and do the alignment. AG worked with Wheel Tec to decide the proper offsets. I told them I did not want to be too aggressive since my daily commute is about 45 miles. So far no rubbing issues and that includes numerous speed bumps/tables that I could not avoid.
