Niche Targa M131 installed

Finally pulled the trigger after pouring over hundreds of threads. I decided to get niche targa m131 19x8.5 et 25mm on all corners for my X coupe. I was worried about the aggressive offset cause I'm not lowered.

They don't poke. They are almost flush. But for me it's good.

So long story short. 25mm offset on a stock xcoupe will work, no trimming or rubbing.

Thanks blnewt & Jose at Need4speed big time for knowledge and re-assurance!!

Now for more research... I'm leaning toward swift springs. The less drop the better for my daily driver.

Yeah, I think those new Swift springs just released for the AWD coupe would be a logical choice. Should give a decent ride and lower just enough so you're not having to worry about scraping on everything and easy to get around. And also to get us to quit nagging you about a drop, lol.
