Thanks guys! I've had a few "low" cars and all have been static. I just recently bought my 335i to daily as I want to build another FD RX-7 so I really want to keep it where I can just jump in and drive.. It'll be stanced though!

I've owned the car two weeks and have already gotten the mod bug haha this thread isn't helping at all! So I just ordered coils today.. If I don't like, I'll buy bags. Can't wait to be able to post in the thread along side you guys.. until then I'll just keep creepin'

[#Tee]

congrats and welcum jay! all the info you really need are posted on this thread.

18x10.5 +15 on 245/35/18 lowered on H&R sport springs. 0.9* camber in the front and 2.1* rear.

You can totally pull off those wheels up front !!

A lot of Stance guys do it wrong!

You should always have more neg camber in the front then in the rear.
It's more functional and will always look better, unless your on bags just hard parking poser.


dont be afraid to add up to -3 degrees in the front it would have fit that wheel and tire nicely, and would match the rears -2.1 degrees very nicely too.

I don't like what you said here.... but yes, front should always have more camber than rear imo.

I need fender work to take my rear camber out! No monies and still have to find a good body shop.

Why not do it yourself? I've done every bit of suspension and body work myself. It's not too hard you just have to have a basic understanding and a positive attitude. I've rolled my rears but need to shave them so that's my agenda after work today! Pics soon still getting fitment right

which part?
the bags talk or the hipster/fake scene stance guys doing it wrong?
I was refering more to the whole scraping the ground guys, who add big wheels and a lot of camber cheaping out on any fender work,
of course the rears are gonna be bigger then the fronts so they end up adding more camber to the rear then front, which makes it a hardparking thing..


not saying everyone needs to spend lots of money on fender work, but there are lots of wheels that will look agressive without being huge, or if they do some good research they will find a correct spec wheel that'll look amazing under stock fender.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
an example...

This guy spent money on fender work, but tried way to hard....to fit the stance thing,.... front fenders are bigger then they should be for the front wheels and the rear fenders are too small and rear wheels to agressive....therefore, over done neg camber, making it look dumb.



Done right:
Perfect fitment in the rear without unecessary camber guessing
(-1.5/-2).
front look to have near -3 degrees and fit perfect too.

Don't think you understand the gravity of the situation lol.

My rears are shaved and i have over 5 degrees of neg camber in order to fit my wheels and it still rubs hard. When i said fender work, i meant cutting the rear fenders up and flaring them probably 50mm. Someone experienced with body/metal work would need to do this and i have none of either.

GabeS, meant the part about camber since I'm running -3.5 up front and -5.5 in rear.

Yeah wasn't thinking about that ha why not just run painted bolt on flares? I've got over 5 degrees right now I'm trying get under 4 but need to shave it in order to get the clearance. I already rub like a mofo. Just been busy. What're your wheel specs?

Bolt-on flares look like crap imo on e9x's.

19x9.5 +5
19x11 +11

[tank707]

Lbw kit is the only one that looks okay imo but that's like 10g's.
18x10.5+25 soon to be +17
18x10.5+10

What tire sizes you running? How was it shaving your rears?

Your car looks fine with more in the rear, I am talking when people add stupid camber...where its very noticable. BTw where exactly do your tires rub? you can always cut the platic liner out, and take a mallet to the metal spot whre it rubs to create clearance, unless its on the fender.

Yes, very true, unless the flare is gonna be molded and painted bolt on flares, as int he small jdm style ones, cheapen the look of the car..
these ...

no bueno, i have seen a pic of a 335i with these trying to find it...

it could be the color, but doesnt look too good on this car for me...



This one looks better but because it looks like a race car:

It's fun to read what people think the "correct" stance is lol. There's no correct amount of camber, there's no correct amount to lower your car, there's no correct widths and offsets. Everything we do fucks up the suspension geometry, just do what you think looks cool that you can handle driving every day.

I think it's funny when people say other peoples cars aren't stanced. Stance is a term of how a car sits. There's no specific way a car has to sit to be stanced. It's how you want it to look is how it's stance is

You are both right in one thing, there is no specific rule or specific width for wheels...

but you are both sounding sour,
When someone creates a stanced thread its pretty obvious it's for agressive stance, not stock stance. and generally to get an agressive stance wider wheels are in order..or spacers...etc...

sometimes it helps by adding to the title specifically what you are looking for.. ie: Stanced thread/slammed/fitted look.
that way people cant complain...

Now where you are both wrong is:
"everything we do fucks up geometry" not really, if you know what you are doing.., someone with no idea of suspension geometry/travel and rebound, might do that.
Others may have a better understanding of how to slam a car but have the ride still perform well or at least better than the majority..
for an instance when I posted that a general"slammed car" rule is to always have more camber in the front it is for more grip around turns. and functionality, because front fenders generally dont allow for wheels as wide as the rear.


If you dont like what people are looking for in a thread there are always others where they are looking for the same thing you are...theres no point in arguing with a threads idea...
Some guys have been in the scene for many many years, and understand a lot better the idea behind some of the Mods done to angles/ride heights/wheel sizes...tire sizes etc..

[GabeS]

Op created this thread for massive wheels/spacers/no ugly stock height or weak wheels.

MUST HAVE PICS!!

I know there are threads like this out there but they have been polluted by non stance discussions and pictures of ugly stock height cars, so no we don't need to know if you hate the stance scene and no we don't need your opinion about form>function or vice versa.

WE JUST WANNA SEE STANCE!!!

so in the infamous words of @project335i ...DO YOU EVEN STANCE?

[tank707]

Very we'll put GabeS. I wasn't argueing a threads idea or anything just stating I think it's funny when people put other down on their set up when it's "their set up" you know. Everyone's stance is different and we all play the game

Exactly
Take this for an instance, no camber, no stretched tires, his own spin off on a very agressive stance: and looks beautiful:
