Thank you!
Sure! Stock 19 wheels, 245x35x19 front, 285x30x19 rear (stock Michelin Super Sports). Was think of putting the 265s up front, but car still feels perfect with no understeer, and the larger rears help with traction all around.

Ok thanks. Did you do any suspension work? I’m looking at the M Performance suspension as well. Thanks for the feedback and quick replies.

Do you have a side profile pic with those tire on? Curious how it looks. Thanks.

This is the best I have currently. 285x30x19 on back, stock 245x35x19 on front. No spacers, stock suspension. May put some 10mm spacers on the front...still thinking about it.

The roof wrap looks amazing.

You should consider the Turner or Ind spacers that are not just hubcentric but actually provides an extended lip.

I've tried other MNFRs in the past on my F80 M3 and there's usually a trade off in steering feel. I eventually bought custom offset wheels.

I believe it was explained as the scrub radius is altered with larger spacers but the Turner spacers (7.5mm) I'm running on the M2 comp are amazing.

Again not all people will feel a difference so it might not matter to you in that case.

As I await the call to setup my dyno time, I can only tell you that my buddy and his evora 400 do not like the carbahn tune. We used to be very close if not him beating me with the lighter evora on highway pulls. He just can't keep up now. In fact he missed our highway exit trying to keep up and called to discuss how angry he was while he drove the 5 miles until the next exit to turn around.

I'm confused... so he doesn't like the tune in his evora, or he doesn't like your tune in your car because you beat him up bad now?

Haha. My bad on the way I wrote that. Def the latter. I still love his car. You just can't beat the feel of light. That being said, I solved my problem by just adding more power. 'merica
