Winter Setup Pics: Enkei Tuning Raijin w/ Pirelli Winter Sottozero Serie II

[compguy36]

Usually winter wheel day is depressing as my previous setups have been OEM winter wheels on my F10 M5 and 550. This time around I went more aggressive on setup and look and couldn't be happier.

I went with 19x8.5 Enkei Tuning Raijin w/ 245/35R-19 Pirelli Winter Sottozero Serie II up front and 19x9.5 265/35R-19. I ran the Sottozero on my M5 and couldn't have been happier.

Here are a few pics of the setup.

Car looks great! Love the painted front lip.

I was looking at these also, but was thinking a square setup. Could you share some more pics, preferably a profile of the car and some more angles of the wheel. For some reason, I think the blk raijin look better than the silver. Something about the center of the rim being too wide where the spokes come together

Just ordered the same tires for my OEM rims. Hows your experience with the grip?

Grip is good. Only had them on for a day though. That said I had this setup only square on my F10 M5 and grip was great in cold/dry, wet, and snow.

Thanks Man!
Looks really good.
You got these from TireRack, right? I was thinking possibly 19x9.5 all around (assuming their available 12/5) with 265/35/19--seems like the most inexpensive setup.
Are you happy with quality?

Ughhh I have 18 inch Raijin from my 650 and I doubt they will fit. . . Such a shame. Gotta swap em out!

I'm satisfied with the quality. There is a little miss or lack of coverage on the paint around the interior of lugs, but for the price and purpose of these rims I'm happy.

This setup looks awesome and almost convinces me to go for a 19" setup myself.

Hey Comp,
I know you went with the staggered setup, but I want a square setup and Gary at TR isn't recommending 19x9.5 all around. Do you think if you had the fronts (19x8.5) on the rear that they would look too small/sunken in, strange? Keep in mind, I would get 255/35/19 all around, so maybe that would help...
