Project E90 M3: Part 4 – Wheels and Tires

Wheel Spacers FloorThe 20mm TMS wheels spacers include extended lugstuds for the correct amount of threads needed to safely hold the wheel on.

Wheel Spacer BackTurner Motorsport is the first American BMW tuner to put engineering principles into wheel spacer design. They have set the bar for fitment, lightness, practicality, and longevity. These wheel spacers feature quick release pockets which enable them to be removed quickly and easily (instead of being frozen to the hub like poorly designed spacers), are made from high grade aluminum with military-spec hardcoat (which is far stronger than standard anodized metal) and are CNC machined to precision standards to ensure no vibrations and optimize weight without affecting strength.
Wheel Spacer WeightOn the scales, the 20mm front wheel spacers come in at a ligh1lb 3.25oz.
Continental Tire StackAfter spending a lot of time comparing the wet and dry performance of many different tires online, we decided to stick with the Continental ExtremeContact DW tire.  We have been very happy with the performance of this tire over the course of tens of thousands of miles on both Project E90 M3 as well as Project E36 M3 (Silver). This tire is hard to beat for a performance-oriented daily driver.
