Lets See Those E90 Sedans Lowered With Wheel Spacers!

I am wanting to lower my E90 and put spacers on it. I am thinking about 15mm from and rear because I am thinking that 20mm would be too much?

I am thinking between BMW sports suspension springs and Eibach.

Let me know your setup and lets see them E90's!!

Thanks For posting this for us. However that's too low, are those the H&R super sports?

I'm looking for about 1 inch drop. Max

yea that look is just the sport springs on stock shocks. the race springs are red, sports are greyish black. mine are definitely sports. the big ass wheels and tires probably give it more of a full look

Currently I have the stock 17s. 225/45/17.

I plan on getting the E 92 and three wheels which are eight teams. The tires are going to get for those are 245/40/18 all the way around.

I don't want to bottom out and I don't want to tire scraping the fenders. I also don't want the ride to be harsh. I want it to ride similar to stock.

Will the Eibach Pro Kit, or H&R sports do this for me?

Looks nice! How many inches drop?

If you have passengers and go over bumps any tire to fender contact or bottoming out? How's the comfort?

bottom out? not really.

scraping? yes big time and my front lip is taking all the beat.

rubbing? not really unless i have 400 lbs weight in the back, or driving through some really hidden pothole. i have rolled and pulled rear fenders so that help a bit.

im not too sure the exact drop. when i measure the center of the fender to the center of the wheel center cap, it has 13.25"

or i can stick about 2 fingers between the gap. i used to be 1/2 finger gap but that's just not my taste and doesn't ride good.
