Yeah but the ones I've seen with a decent exhaust sound really good.

Love the sound of am old big block myself. Hemi, 429, 427, 454, 455, 440. All awesome.

Looks good. Front needs some camber or rear needs spacers to match poke. Fronts look a lot more aggressive than the rears from this angle.

Front needs a little more camber for me to go just a hair lower to match the rear. Poke wise, they're about perfect. For my first time on stretched tires, it actually rides really well.

Thought I'd ask here, see if any of you guys with experience could offer some advice.

Looking at new wheels, 19x9.5/11. I can choose any offset I want, and will probably be going for a 225/255 or maybe 235/265. Cars a Pre-LCI E91, coilovers are custom spec'd at 7/12k so the wheel needs to tuck up in to the arch. Thinking maybe -1deg on the front and -2deg on the back. Not wanting to pull my arches but will roll them flat.

Reckon it's doable? Or because of my soft spring rates am I just gonna be rubbing all the time? Car is low but probably higher than most the stuff posted in here. No gap above tyre.

[Fundguy1]

With the tight offset yes. I'm not stancing like you are but I am running 275 rear atm. Fronts will be dicey but I think some have done.

I'm hesitant to call it stance haha, don't want the lip of the wheel exposed, and it's my daily and I drive all over the place shooting cars etc so it can't be too low either.

At the moment I've got an 18x8.5 et35 front and I think I'm pretty close to touching the coilover, rear I've probably got 10mm further in with a 9.5 et45.

Hoping I can get the offset measured up with literally just enough clearance, to give me the best bet of not rubbing on the outside.

[Fundguy1]

Well with tires way to small for the wheels, you're stancing my friend.

[Fundguy1]

I went et 43 with 19x11 and 305/30-19. If I need to go out more I'll use spacers. Front I'm et30 19x8.5 with 245/35-19 and it'll be super close to scraping fenders.

You can do this easily. 235 and 265 will be stretched and expose a little wheel lip front and rear. If you don't need to run stretched then go for a 9" wheel with a higher offset like et30. Rears can go high 30s et and fit a 275 with that minimal amount of camber. Shave your rear fenders and roll your fronts flat with a little pull if they are metal like the e90. But if you go 9.5" in the front you will need the extra camber to not rub. As far as the spring rates go... I run 18k/28k and STILL rub in the back at times. The e9x platform is super soft and bouncy. That just comes with the territory.

That color is very similar to my old set of m590s. The color really pops in the sun. Hopefully with your offsets you still have the concave look. I would run black bolts (lugs of you did the stud conversion) as it won't clash with the finish.

Cool. Thx. Should still be pretty concave. Front should press in about 2", rear 3" approximately. I'd like more but that's what I need to fit the rears. What did you have? Brushed antique Bronze?
