Any opinions on how the Niche Form M158 wheels (bronze) will look on this car? (especially with the color i have)

I really like those wheels. Just wanted to see what people think about them.

While those sizes might technically fit, they are way too tall for this car. For a 20x11 wheel you should look for a 295/30, 295/35 or 305/30 tire. Inner and outer fender clearance will depend on the offset of the wheel you go with.

Both of those offsets will leave you with about an extra 20mm or so of clearance. A lot of people running the 9" front and 10.5" aftermarket wheels run a +35 to +38 front and as low as a +18 to +30 rear.

The wheels look good but that will be your personal preference once you decide on fitment, tire sizes, lowering springs and desired drivability of the car.

For reference on all of the above, I am running a Niche Essen M147 wheel in 20x9 +38 and 20x10.5 +18 with Michelin PSS in a 255/35 and 295/30 lowered on H&R springs. With a slight rear fender trim, the car is fully functional and does not scrape even under track use.


Hope this all helps.

 

Bronze looks good with black to most people. I think straight spoke wheels look good on f types, the more concave the better imo.

 

A much better solution would be to purchase a set of take-off OEM 19" wheels for winter use. The DWS comes in the exact 19" sizes needed.

 

Thanks. yes def helps a lot. I didnt want to touch the fenders, so what offset would you recommend? Also who did you get the wheels from if you dont mind me asking. Carid wont let me select size 20 in those.

 

This is what i am thinking of going with

Niche Essen - 20x10.5 +30 offset for the back with 295/30/20 tires (option of +27 and +35 offset too)
20x9 +35 offset for the front with 255/35/20 tires (option of +25 and +38 offset too)

I dont want to roll/shave fenders and i dont plan to lower the car. You guys think this setup will work?

Thanks a ton for all the help!

 

^ Any opinions/suggestions?

 

You'll want the 27 offset in back (same as an 11mm spacer with the OEM 38 offset) and the 38 offset in front (same as a 17mm spacer with the OEM 55 offset). You could then add a 6mm spacer in back to even everything out. The OEM studs are long enough to accommodate a standard 6mm hub centric spacer.

Thanks!

 

CAUTION - You might run into a problem on the rear unless your new rims are 11-inches wide like the rims that come standard on the SVR but not on the R. Those arrive with 305 width rubber. The rotor wheels you have now are only 10.5-inches wide so a 315 may not be recommended. As others have also cautioned, don't buy a significantly taller sidewall either. Rather, go with a narrower width (say 285s) if you must.

I am a HUGE fan of the Conti DWSs tires having run them on my BMW X5 35d Ski Machine for the past 5 years. I would NOT buy the 315 width unless you are also buying an 11-inch wide rim.

I personally like their TARGA model better than the one you are considering...
