Looks great! Tires are super meaty too!

275/40 all around too?

Correct

Looks amazing, especially for that price. The weight is pretty good as well. I might just get these as a summer set lol.

u need to get a vanity plate. i recommend the White Sox one since it's black w/ white letterings. :

The new summer wheels have landed! I'll post more photos in the coming weeks.

Weren't you telling me about these a couple weeks ago when I bought the wheels? You ended up doing it? Nonetheless congrats!!

These are the ones! I lucked out and found a set in stock. Thanks!

A few more photos of the Advan GT's and I guess I can share the specs now.

Advan GT Beyond
20x9.5 et25
20x10.5 et32

I plan to run a small spacer up front and in the rear to really dial in the fitment.

A quick test fit for the time being. These likely won't see the road for a few months. It's snowing here already and I haven't purchased tires yet so they'll be office art in the meantime haha.

BrockDM Funny question, so don't laugh. How did you get the front end to float like that with no jack stands under the front mounting points... ?

Is it me? Or does it look like those might have the barrel clearance to run a 19? Absolutely love the Advan GT, I can't wait to see it setup with tires, and on the ground!

I haven't had the X3M in the air yet, but most BMWs have enough chassis stiffness to lift an entire side of the car from one jacking point. MINIs and M cars, especially.

If you get the rear jacked up high enough the front comes up with it. The stock suspension might droop more than my KW's but I'm only using the jack in the picture. Nothing on the front 👍🏼

Yep agreed. Advan does design their wheels for maximum barrel clearance but with the right wheel design I think a 19 is doable. A few people have done it actually but it comes down to a specific wheel design.

And bingo about the jacking point!

Dare I ask... how long did you wait for them to come in?

I actually got very lucky and found one of the last few sets in stock. The next batch of fronts are expected in March 2023, rears are expected in August 2023.

Wow! Very lucky indeed.

Can't wait to see these bad boys mounted!

This is awesome & had no idea the chassis was that rigid. It still scares me just a tough though. LOL

Looks, great, BrockDM - will be interested in seeing the weights as well. Are you planning on running lighter weight tires or staying with PS4S (and what widths)?

Thanks! The wheels are lightttt. I'll wait to share until I have decided on a tire to pair them with. I'm leaning towards PS4S again or possibly Nitto NT555rII. The Nitto run a little heavier and won't last as long but a little better straight line grip.

I'll be doing 275/40 and 315/35
