Gunna put the 17in style fives on eventually,with prolly stretch

Car's looking good man! I wish I had an IS front valence =\ 535i for the loss.

Have you had oil pan issues? Mine took a good smashing from the road the other day.

Nope. It hangs low though, just gotta be careful. I will get a skid plate soon probably. Better safe than sorry.

It'll look real nice on 17" style 5s, you say you got a set?

Probably a no on the stretch though, real hard to stretch on a 17x8. Unless you get 512s. Then go for it.

A wider set of wheels would be ideal, but I've already got some style fives. The smaller the tire, the more low. Since I have 60s on my 15s, a set out 17s with skinnys would leave it at around the same height.

512s as in Falken 512s, because they're the best stretching tire.

If you didn't know, your post confused me.

ideally for a 17x8 you'd want a 195/40 or 205/40. unfortunately i think the last site that carried 512's no longer has them in that size (they were discontinued)
try some falken 502's. i got mine in 205/40 17 from discounttire.com for about 60 bucks a piece.

Good! Haha sorry I am the master rambler. Thanks for the advise on tires, will look into 512s if need be. Honestly, I don't know what I want to do. Keep my 15s and put lo profiles on them, put the style 5s on, or save up for a wider set of wheels ( ESM rs reps 16x9.5 )

Thanks for the input! It's appreciated, especially since I've never stretched before, so it's nice to hear from people with experience. 60 bones a piece seems pretty fair! I'll check it out!
