First of all, I am new to this forum and appreciate everyones time and knowledge with this pressing questions.

I own a 09 BMW 335i and I have finally convinced my fiancee to buy me a set of 19 inch wheels which were delivered for me yesterday. My question before the install is what lowering size springs do I need to eliminate any gap from the fender wheel and tire? I would like for the springs to be installed at the time of installation of rims yet dont know what size to get and was guessing less than an inch to an inch maybe...any good springs out there that wont break the bank would be highly appreciated as well.

Thank in advance for helping me out with this.....

no spring set is gunna break the bank. they are all about 250-300 bucks. careful with the drop. the wheels that you put on might rub like crazy and require fender rolling or you might need to have a different tire combo.

Search around the site and look for what different people are running with what springs

The springs aren't expensive, but the install probably will be. There is nothing that says you have to install the springs with the wheels. I'd run the new wheels and see how you like the look. If it needs a drop (personal choice) go from there. H&R are popular amongst the BMW crowd. Their sport springs are a nice mild drop and the "race" springs are more aggressive.

How thick is your rims is it 19x8.5(F) 19x9.5(R) or it 19x8.5 all around?

And crucially, what is the offset ? Thats where you are going to have trouble if any.

You can only use the Sport type other than that i don't think it's a good idea.
