Just Mounted 19" Forgestar CF5V

larramy · 05-14-2015, 05:28 AM

Hey guys,

I have been reading through this forum so thoroughly and found a ton of information when I was so bloody confused about offsets, widths, etc.. Well, I'm glad it is all over now! I found a great deal for a used set with F30 offsets and actually got the rear to work with a 12mm spacer. I figure spending this money is justifiable since I can see myself buy an F30 in future

Anyway, I figure it was time I gave back and shared my fitment with everyone. During this period of time I even PM-ed a few members to make sure I had the right size because I wasn't sure the front might work, but it did!

Suspension mod: Front M3 control arms
Sport suspension that came with m-sport package

F: 19 x 8.5 ET26 Hankook 245/35/R19
R: 19 x 10 ET47 Hankook 275/30/R19 (ET35 with 12mm spacer)

The front wheels cleared by the slimmest of margins at full lock so I'm pleased! The rears however, still rubbed on hard dips despite me adjusting it to -2.2 degrees of camber. I was on the verge of getting my fenders rolled today until the boss of the shop came out and had a look at my car and told me to get my shock absorbers checked out because my car did look like it was lowered despite everything else being stock apart from the control arms. I'm not sure whether it is possible to have all 4 be gone at the same time but I have an appointment to have it checked out at the dealer under warranty next week.

I promise I will post better pictures as soon as I get my shock absorbers fixed at the dealer.

First picture of car immediately after being dropped from the jacks

After driving for about 5miles before alignment. Rear then front pictures. Fitment is perfect

Height of rear wheel stationary. Looks slammed?

Definitely needs the shocks checked out

Doesn't look low if you have factory sport suspension.

I do have the factory sport suspension. It doesn't look low? I have been trying to diagnose the shock absorber issue on my own but I really have no idea how. Rocking the car doesn't tell me much either.

take the spacer off in the back and you should be good without rubbing.
