20s in the front without a drop.
Anyone running 20s on the front of thr g80 m3cx without a drop? Iam really wanting the cs wheels but not wanting to have to lower the car and change any suspension geometry. Any pics would be really appreciated . I want to make sure it is not gonna look goofy .

Why not flip your wheels around and see what it looks like on it first-person?
Benefit there is you’ll even be able to check all clearances as well yourself and be 100% positive. |

These are old pictures of my car before I dropped it. Stock suspension but 20" wheels all around.

No comment on your tire geometry, but wow, that's a beautiful car! Which green is that?

Did you notice any ill effects on the suspension or handling going to 20's all around?

I did 285 front and 295 rears. I'm lowered now on H&R sport springs (these pictures are old), but didn't really notice a significant difference in ride quality.

Oxford is my absolute favorite BMW Green. Seems like it's been overshadowed of late by Verde Ermes and I'm not even sure it's on the approved Individual list any longer. Same if that's the case.

However, IMO, the gap at the front, regardless of what size wheels and tires you put on is larger than the rear and needs adjusted. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ |

Yeah I wanted to go with a classic color combo. The e46 was what got me interested in BMW M, and the Oxford Green over cinnamon interior was an absolute stunner. So I ended up going with Oxford Green over tartufo. Would be surprised to see that it's not on the approved Individual list. Verde Ermes was actually my original choice but my wife vetoed it

FYI, any time you reduce the sidewall height on a set of wheels/tires to be equal to or less than the gap at the respective corner of the car, the gap is going to be visually exacerbated from what it looked like before. A lot of times, even with equal height of the sidewall vs gap, it may not look as gappy with stock wheels but look worse with aftermarket wheels that have a more open spoke design. These are a couple of things that will contribute to what it’ll look like.
