I've had it for a few months now, but just now got around to snapping some pics worth posting...

+1 nice wheels!

[sy2767]

Are those 19'' wheels?

[Oulixes]

The wheels fit the black body perfectly.

Black your shit out son. Then some H&R springs. I can't really tell but how flush are you?

[texas2009]

Thanks everybody.

sy2767, they're 18's.

not very

[texas2009]

Aonarch,
They were the same offset as stock 18's, but 1/2" or an inch wider. How much lower could I go without having to roll the fenders?

you need 10mm spacers in the rear

[texas2009]

CollinsE90, where's the best place to order them, and how far will 10mm push them out? Will that make them flush, or stick out?

definitely just make them almost flush, and no they wont poke out man and will just make the car look even better....

Coilovers are also a lot more significant of an investment. For the look and slightly stiffer ride get springs, if you're really interested in handling improvements at the extreme then go for coilovers. IMO 95% of normal driving does not warrant them, but nearly 100% of tracking does.

Interested to see this car with a drop on these wheels, I really like them but not on the E90 chassis as this sits. The blacklines look sweet and are really growing on me

[texas2009]

Just ordered the spacers from rogue eng... thanks, CollinsE90.
I don't plan on tracking the car, so I think just springs would do.
I still don't know how much of a drop would look right though.

with springs you have to get new shocks too so thats why id just go ahead and do coilovers

H&R I think offers like 1" over ZSP, I'd think that'd be enough but better checkout the suspension forums

You don't have to...just highly recommended (for good reason)

It's still 1/2-2/3 the cost of coilovers...

[CollinsE90]

and make sure the shop that installs them puts them on the REAR

[sbce90]

looking good mate, those wheels are awesome.

[NiVeDh]

Looks good!
