RON1X BSM E92: PSS9 and the new MORR VS8.2 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

RON1X · 03-09-2011, 05:20 PM

Fedex delivered my wheels this morning around 11:30am and I had them put on at 4pm... I couldn't resist.
Recently put on Bilstein PSS9 coilovers. Was lower, but had to raise the front a bit due to living downtown and having to park in parking garages everyday (I still scrape everyday but don't mind

).

Set up:
19" Morr VS8.2s (8.5" Front +32, 10" Rear +38)
Hankook V12 Evos 235/35 Front, 275/30 Rear (yes I had to roll the fenders!!!)

These were quick shots with my Motorola Atrix, not to impressed with the camera, but what can you do? Getting pro shots this spring when it stops raining in Atlanta. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks for looking!

hmmmm concavity:

great looking ride, and the rims really compliment your car.

MerrittM3 · 03-09-2011, 05:21 PM

Looks great! Why did you have to roll the rear fenders? because of the offset?

I just read a bunch of people saying with 275/30 rears you can rub when lowered. Every shop I go to says I am "slammed" although its not that low. I just decided to have the rear fenders rolled before i put the wheels on to avoid issues. However, I can barely fit my pinky between the rear fenders and tires, so I think without rolling they would rub pretty bad!

I guess that all depends on how low you go? i just ordered a custom set of HRE's and they recommended 275/30 rear on a 19x10. THe lowest i will go is a set of iebach springs which should drop about 1" in rear.

all in all.. your car looks great.

joehoang · 03-09-2011, 05:26 PM

nice!

samchoi604 · 03-09-2011, 05:37 PM

That's pretty extreme dude.. nice! Do you still rub with the rolled fenders?

J BONE · 03-09-2011, 05:38 PM

Nice! Huge fan of those wheels. Looks great, congrats!

fortunately no, I can fit my pinky in between the rear fenders and tires. I did drive home on bumpy roads and had no rubbing. If it does rub, I can always raise the rear slightly. Right now I think it is as low as I can go

lpphreakx06 · 03-09-2011, 05:39 PM

Rear concavity is like WHOA!

ryan970 · 03-09-2011, 05:47 PM

looks nice, how much did you get them for

intensee92 · 03-09-2011, 05:49 PM

nice

chris b. · 03-09-2011, 05:53 PM

perfect!!!!!!

ryan970 · 03-09-2011, 06:03 PM

bimmertt · 03-09-2011, 06:23 PM

BeamerDr3am3r · 03-09-2011, 06:34 PM

lol, I know... today it was the hardest rain in months tornadoes nearby too. I just couldn't resist snapped a few shots today. Pro shoot is coming soon. Hopefully Nivedh and I can get some together (BSM E92/E90 shoot ftw

)

Chico · 03-09-2011, 08:21 PM

very nice and congrats. They look great. Why did they use so many weights on the front wheel? They should've rotated the tire.

I also have the same wheels but V1 and I asked the wheel shop to use black weights so they don't stand out to much. (just a tip for the future)

wow.... never realized that! Ignorance is bliss

NiVeDh · 03-09-2011, 09:05 PM

Henry, looks great! Amazing birthday present to yourself.

Did you lower the rears more since the install? The car sits perfectly.

It's weird that the fenders had to be rolled for 19x10 ET38. I'm running Hankook 275s on my 19x10 ET38 also and it's not even close to rubbing. Maybe the E90 really does have a lot more room... hopefully enough for 19x10 ET25 (

).

Let me know when you're available for a photoshoot. I'm free anytime.

MassBimmer · 03-09-2011, 09:06 PM

Wow looks awesome...those wheels are killer

the infamous... · 03-09-2011, 10:56 PM
