Papa got some brand new shoes!
as the title states, was able to get the new wheels fitted yesterday, and I’m really enjoying the look
BC FORGED EH173 in Matte Gunmetal
F: 20X8.5 et +30 R: 20x10 et +50 (pretty sure I could have managed +45)
tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in 235/35/20 and 275/30/20
Car is lowered on KW HAS, but needs to come up just a bit as I rub slightly in front if I *aggressively* hit *large* dips in the road at speed. Seems manageable but I’m sure it will **** me off long term.
Let me know now what you think. Interested in feedback (positives and negatives) and questions
Note: phone camera is busted so photos are a bit washed out.

Looks good but wish I could see them in direct sun light.

Love BC Forged. Some of the best affordable forged wheels you can get. Lead times are usually decent, finish always looks amazing, lacking full customizability with offsets last I looked, but you can get close.
Looking good, coupe needs aggressive rear fitment! I'd probably throw a spacer on to make up the difference.

Note: BC Forged are fully customizable re: offsets. I told them what I wanted, and they made 'em. I did originally request a +45 for the rears, but they recommended +50 for a "fit without issues" for a lowered car. The choice was mine, but since mentioned it, I went the safe route. I'll probably toss some spacers (either 5mm or 15mm...though 15 seems too aggressive) on there to make me happy, but a bit disappointed that I didn't just sit with my gut on this one.

Looks great! I read some forums that the KW HAS kit has some strange noise from the coilovers? Are you experiencing that? I’m looking into either the KW or H&R. I’m leaning towards the KW. You in Calgary right Mecca? Would love to see that mod in person. My 20” Vossen will be here in a few weeks and also will be putting the PS4S and getting rid of the ran flats.

I’m having issues with the wheels hitting the inner wheel well on dips, using 3mm shims (spacers) would make the problem worse. Not to mention that I raised the car to reduce scraping on large ice ruts in the winter. Car is more drivable now.

Sorry, don’t have the part number handy. There’s a forum sponsor that sells them in North America...reach out to him.

Hey Mecca. Sweet car. I am also in Calgary. I have a 2020 C43 with the same size wheels as you. Only difference is that I have ET28 in the front. I used the H&R VTF Adjustable springs but I cant seem to get my car high enough without a reverse rake situation. Maybe I should switch to the same springs you have? My questions with your springs did you have a lot of adjustment? For some reason my only option is Slammed or super slammed. Thats about it. Any input would help. Im attaching pics. My rear is literally raised up as high as it will go.
