beemin is on a distinguished road
New shoes installed - 20" Niche Targa Wheels

I wanted to give a big to pnoyako85 for his help and being quick to get back to me with any questions I had.

Front 275/40/20 +15 offset
Rear 315/35/20 +20 offset

Next week I'll be installing the H&R lowering kit and that should help settle her down a bit.

I'm happy, and that's all that matters!

UPDATE:
H&R 1.2" lowering kit w/air installed. IMO it's too low in the rear so I'm going to mess with the links a bit. I have an alignment scheduled $69 + $50 for a BMW steering assist reset (i believe that's what the guy said). My fender flares were delayed but I should have those soon and I'll post some pics once I get them installed.

Removing the front struts was a complete B1TCH! They were not straight forward like many of the other cars I've done this to. I didn't see anything out here that went into much detail for this particular install, so if anyone wants a write up I'll try. If you have money to burn, I say pay for it to be done!

Update 2:
I didn't like the slammed look or the bouncy ride in the rear so I've re-adjusted the rear links (last two pics) and now it rides and imo looks better.

Overall though, I think it looks pretty darn good.
