h&r race springs with spacers...

so i put on h&r race springs on my e90 but before i had put them on i wanted to get some spacers to bring out my wheels. the springs lowered my car pretty low but i wanna know if anyone has wheel spacers on with there car lowered? would it rub, if not what size spacers would i use?

You can run it but what wheel offset, width and tire sizing are you doing?

i HAVE THE SAME QUESTION

I HAVE E90 - NON SPORT

I WANT TO LOWER IT, GET 19X10 IN THE REAR WITH 275-30-19 SIZE TIRES (MAYBE EVEN 35-40 IF THEY CARRY) I ALSO WANT TO GET SPACERS... BUT WITH A 19X10 WOULD I REALLY NEED SPACERS... OR IS IT LIKE A RUB HAZARD?

Springs:
-Might choose OEM Sport springs, only 60 bux, and I hear I dont need to add anything else.
-H&R sport springs - I hear that I may need to get new shocks or something ?
Please get back to me soon, I need wheels by the end of this week.

What offsets are you running though? That is crucial to know for spacers.

It depends on your offset yes, but I think with that set up 8-10mm spacers are okay. I've met dudes at meets with that set up with your size wheels.

I wanna get 19x10 in the rear.. I'm not sure if it will work with me after H&Rs.

You can run spacers on the fronts - the fronts are a 19x8.5 ET40 so an 8mm would be max i would put on them.

I honestly think the H&R race is just far to agressive, don't really recommend it.

+1 depends on the roads you will be driving on. I'd love to have it.. not here in brooklyn with pot hole dodging every day.

Couldn't agree with you more - if I was on a track all day long sure H&R race. But I think majority of us live in pot holed cities.
