    2025 M5 vs. 2025 CT5-V BW

    I didn't even consider anything German bc I wanted the MT. Had the 5BW not come in MT, I'd have kept my MY20 Wide-Body Charger Hellcat.

    CT5-V Rear tire size

    The photo is misleading bc there is no gap. The hub part of the spacer is beveled so it gives the appearance of not hugging the hub lip but it does.

    CT5-V Rear tire size

    Looks like the listing changed as when I took into my Purchase History, it also lists the 12mm spacers. I got the 6mm spacers.

    MPG problem on new 2024 CT5-V Blackwing

    You should  ask demand your dealer refund your "gas guzzler" tax! This is absolutely unacceptable!

    CT5-V Rear tire size

    The OEM studs seemed to have enough meat on them for my setup so no need for longer stuffs. YMMV.

    Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 RF 325/30/19 with 6mm spacers fit!

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    This thread has all the information about the 325 size & spacer.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    So, slightly mismatched bc the rears are RF but the fronts are not. Michelin doesn't sell a RF in 275/35/19. The ride is excellent and, not surprisingly, softer than the OEM Pilot 4S. There's also less tire noise. They won't perform nearly as well but I'm more interested in the improved wet...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Apologies but I already parked the cars for the night when I saw this thread. Bad angles but I think they look good. On the advice of another thread, I used 6mm spacers to keep them (rears) from rubbing.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Baby got a new pair of shoes! (Front & rear.) Replaced the OEM with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Went to Cars & Coffee in Morrisville, NC this morning. Easily +1,000 vehicles there but I didn't see one other 5BW.

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    Yep, they (SM) did. Had the Track Alignment & DOT4 brake fluid as the only mods.

    This is me at VIR in the 5BW. Wasn't even pushing it hard & also braking way early at the end of the back straight. No brake fade at all even with using the brakes too much per lap -- But you be you & if changing to a more aggressive brake pad gives you more confidence at the track, then do it.

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    CMP is VERY hard on brakes & probably not unlike LS in that regard. I'm on steelies & had no issues with Castrol SRF Brake Fluid. (Remember to disconnect the battery & DO NOT CLOSE THE TRUNK when you change the brake fluid. Also, put the windows down before doing anything so in case you...

    New CT5-V Blackwing Owner - First thoughts and impressions

    Welcome to the club! RE Track: You only need to change the brake fluid. The OEM brake pads are up to track abuse. Unlike many other "performance" vehicles, the 5BW is track-ready straight out of the box (except the brake fluid). I've had mine twice at Carolina Motorsports Park (eats brake pads)...

    Has anyone done this?

    I usually look over, smile, rev the engine a little & then shake my head. I'll ease into 1st gear & let them take-off. I've got nothing to prove. If they know what the 5BW is, they already know from watching all the vids & reviews of her capabilities. If they want to see firsthand what she's...
