Awesome! I have dravit and some of your options were ones I was considering and wanted to visualize but never found! You just helped me out a lot! Do you have any spacers? I wanted those wheels in black

The spacers are 10/12. But, i need to go 12 or 13 in the front, at least. The 285/20 are so big, the rub the fender liner in reverse, without even putting on the spacers. I already had 10/12 from my 826m setup, so, I just put the 10/12 back on. But the front needs at least 12s. But you’re going to have to trim the fins, regardless of what you do.
I’m not sure what other options you were considering, but all of the carbon is OEM with the exception of the front grille, which is Project Gamma. The tires that come pre-installed on these wheels, are Yokohama V107Star. Which are surprisingly good tires, and ranked higher in some tire tests, than the PS4s. But, take into consideration that the Michelins is a 10 year old tire.

Do you know if the 1000m wheel/tire setup will rub on stock height?

I dont. I was already lowered, but, Im going to guess it does, at least on the xDrive. The RWD, I think you have a little better steering angle, and dont have to worry about it.

It takes a few hundred miles to settle. So, after that, it will be a little lower. The pic in the driveway, was after about 150-200 miles.

Although I am having troubles with my car I installed recently the MPhas

Before that the car had eibach fronts only and it was not OK for me. Harsh front and unbalanced in some scenarios.

So to make me happy I installed the mp has at the recommended height

I was ready to order something really expensive BUT I think I am going to hold back. I really can't believe how much of an improvement this made.
I also have milway camber plates and front arm bushings .

I am going to upload the cs software also for the shocks and then see how it will go.

I may have to think really hard before spending 10k++ for suspension

It sounds to me like the factory settings are vague. I’d heard 10mm front and rear. I’ve also seen them coming installed from the port, set at 15mm front and 5mm rear. The G80 rear, appears to sit lower because of how the rear fender is shaped.

There are measurements in the fitting instructions if you want an exact figure. See attached. Page 3 of this thread. The pdf is attached to this post.

Yes, they lowered yours 10mm front and rear. The max drop is 20mm so you have room to go.

Here's the alignment specs that were left in my car at delivery:

I prefer the best handling characteristics. Do you know if that’s 10 or 20?

It’s subjective. I have mine on max low F/R. I have no problems with how it handles and don’t rub with spacers (15mm/ 12mm). I prefer the looks at max low too. I really like how the car handles and I prefer it over my previous F82 on KW V3’s.
