Right where I circled there are 4 bolts with nuts on the back side of them. There's a good amount of adjustment within that plate to center it perfectly. Loosen the ones on the right side and adjust as needed. You may need to adjust the ones on the left as well.
Not really. I don't consider our cars to be the same as say an FRS/BRZ or the Talon/Eclipse, Stealth/3000GT etc... (I just threw the Cygnet in there more for the comedic aspect of that car.)
I'm not blind to the fact that our cars are 95% BMW, but if you take the average non car enthusiast...
Yeah thats exactly what I did. Just entered my car info and went with what they recommended. Yes that size all around and they fit perfectly with no spacers.
Also that tire size (235/45) was as close as I could get to the diameter of the stock tires so it wouldn't noticable throw off the speedo.
It seems like you're set on using the OEM wheels as winter wheels, but you may want to consider sizing down to get a little more sidewall on there. This is my set up.
No fitment issues at all. There is a lot of adjustment with in the V bands though, so it does take some trial and error to get everything lined up perfectly. That is if you are as anal as I am and want everything absolutely perfect.
I personally wouldn't go that route. I've always known Megan Racing to be a "you get what you pay for" kind of company. When I was younger I bought a set of their coils for my SRT-4 and they were absolute trash.
AZP installs in Kenilworth NJ. I've used them once before and so has a friend of mine. We both had tires mounted and they did it perfectly, no damage. I've only ever heard good things about them.
Took mine to the dragstrip for the first time last night. Overall I'm pretty happy with my runs. I know there's more in it if I can my launch dialed in and get that 60' down.
I'm on the right.
