You're correct, they're the trm c4 rims. The front diameters are identical to stock. I kept a square setup, so the rear is slightly smaller. So the spacing on the front is the same.

I know the front diameters are identical to stock, however there's something about your pic that makes the front wheel gap with the 18" wheels look much bigger than the front wheel gap with the 19" wheels. Is it possible you were parked on uneven pavement? Do you have other pics of your 18" set-up, maybe parked in a different location or shot from a different angle?

So the Amazon version 68mm wheel caps fit the Rial P10s just fine.

Is your car lowered? First time I've seen the 513M look decent.

The wheel well gap looks wrong in so many photos but the m3/m4 tire is mostly the same OD as stock.

For those who downsized to 18”, was there a noticeable improvement to ride comfort?
