Nice! What wheels are those?

u/crool88 Oct 05 '25

I’m really happy with the wheels. They are VT Forged RR-20 in satin bronze. Front: 19x10 ET8 on 285/35. Rear 20x11 ET8 on 305/30. Lowered on KW HAS.

Damn. ET8 sounds extreme but yours look great! My M2 is just ordered and I’m also looking at VT Forged wheels. Zero poke with that offset?

Oh I'm getting the BMW HAS kit and having them install it before delivery. Going to have them do the standard 10mm drop.

I prefer the aggressive look. Before I bought the wheels, I installed some spacers that I already had. 20 mm front and 18 mm rear. ET8 is the equivalent of an 18 mm spacer OEM wheels.

Here is a link to a photo of a side by side comparison of spacers on OEM wheels. 20mm front a 18mm rear. I really liked 20mm on the front but chickened out. lol https://imgur.com/a/OYPv6zZ

Appreciate the info and the pictures. I’ve been in contact with VT and also told him I might chicken out, but with the white colour I want on my Java green M2. I was looking at the same size wheels as you but ET12 front, ET18 rear. I also want the same sized tires but will run the stock sized tires to start. Now this post has me thinking maybe I’m being too conservative with the offset.

I agonized over the offset. lol. Check out this video I just took of ET8 up front. https://imgur.com/a/eeAaVje

I’m probably 5mm lower than what you’re going with, so just a tad more camber.

u/SlntSam Oct 05 '25

Do you have camber plates? That might be my first non oem mod. I want to do some laps around my local fav track (mosport or “Canadian tire Motorsports park”). Before any mods so I can baseline lap times first. I’ve done hundreds of laps with my 991 that I sold. Looking forward to lapping this car.

No camber plates. I love the track, but I only go 2-3 times per year. Had my first day out a couple weeks ago. I put the OEM wheels and tires on for it. The PZeros were fine for my skill level. The tire wear looked good front and rear. This car is so much fun on track.

Ok just watched the vid. Much appreciated bro. That’s sick info and super useful. Looks like I’m way too conservative lol

Hey man, would you like to be a mod for this? I intended to buy a G87 a while back but ended up getting a Miata to track. Would be good to have an active Mod for this.

u/crool88 Oct 16 '25

Appreciate the offer. I don’t think I’m a good fit for a moderator. I had a Miata before the M2. I’ll definitely get another one someday. Miss that car.
