Alan’s 550i

January 8th, 2010 by john

Our good friend Alan, has been coming to CTO for a while now. Changing various setups on a couple pairs of wheels that he has. He came to us for some help on a track setup that would be reasonable for him to drive as a daily as well. He started off with Large Rotora brake kit and was having a difficult time finding a wheel that will give him enough clearance to do something semi aggressive.

First things first, in order for him to have the right stance in which he wanted, we installed a KW Variant 3 coil over kit to improve his handling around the track. It also will allow us to set a nice aggressive stance on the vehicle with the new wheel setup.

 After some advice, Alan wanted a light wheel that will still look great, be strong, and have enough clearance for the Rotor brake system to clear. This is what we came up with!  Volk VR. G2 in Formula Silver. Sized very aggressively they are 20×9.0 and 20×10 with Yokohama Advan Sports in 245/30R20 and 295/25R20.

The combo came out great, just what Alan was looking for. Really great stance and performance now!

Fitment is so close! We had to do a little fender trimming to get everything to fit perfectly flush while still be able to clear without any rubbing issues. Thanks Alan for bringing your car to CTO!
