Sorry, another fitment question.

dado337 · 03-27-2011, 11:39 PM

First I wanna say sorry because I'm sure this has been on here a million times but I can't find the exact answer I want.

I want to lower my 09 E90 MSport with H&R springs but still want to fit the widest 19inch wheel/tire combo and maybe have a little wheel poke or flush. So what width, offset, tire size do I need to run to still be able to fit a full car of people and not rub? Rolling fenders would help I would assume.

ANYONE?

everyone has different taste with flush and poke, post pix of the car that inspired you then everyone can chime in.

I can do that I just know that alot of people have coilovers and I only want to do springs, but do not know what my limitations are with width of rubber and offset before I start rubbing.

I'd like to see pictures of cars with lowering springs only with different wheel set ups so I can see what I like most.

Search the LTMBW meet, theres lots of nice cars you can choose from. If youre aiming for spectacular fitment then scratch the springs off the list. Youll need to play with height adjustment to fine tune clearance.

I'm no expert, but I've done a ton of checking on what an LCI E90 can handle without rubbing and as long as you have enough offset you should be able to run a 19x10 with 275/30/19 and lowered. That offset may be like +47 or so. The experts can chime in now.

I'm thinking if I get springs to Lower the car 2" front and 1.5" rear or maybe just a lil less, I can run:
19x8.5 et35 235/40
and
19x9.5 et35 265/35

and not rub without rolling fenders with a full car of people. Am I right guys? Or maybe a 275/35 rear if I roll fenders.... Am I right because that's ideally what I want to do.
