I ordered the 5mm spacers front and rears. Some may not need them but I feel. With them installed it will be perfect IMO. These are +50 offset while stock is 51 and 53 fronts so the BBS is very slightly more aggressive on fronts

This is for the Scuderia version. I can't imagine that the weight differences between the GT2 would be different given that they're also 19" wheels too, no?

I picked up the oem wheel in one hand and BBS in the other and it was chalk and cheese. Considerably lighter

These are 12 x 19 and 8,75 x 19

Anyway I'm going to unpack my Akrapovic boxes now and stare at my new exhaust for a few hours

Think of my pics as sweet revenge

All I can say (and those who know me from M3 post will confirm) is that when I do it, I go big

You got me on that one. It is sweet revenge! Hope I have the strength to not listen to any sound clips of the AKRA.

3RS4.0 is an unknown quantity at this point

Until seeing those FI pics I was reasonably content that they did not suit the GT2. That is no longer the case. Now I'm wondering what they'll look like on white...
