spacers for lowered E92 with Style 189

E92aw · 05-17-2012, 10:50 AM

Hi,

I recently lowered my E92 with Style 189, however, the rear is sunken in too much to the point it looks really odd. If i raise the back up a bit, which spacers would most people go with on these OEM spec rims.

The pic isn't the greatest, but you get the idea.

Being that low in the rear, it should be pretty easy to measure how much room you've got for a spacer.

E92aw · 05-17-2012, 04:15 PM

I will be raising the rear up as it just looks unbalanced. I read most people use 15mm in the rear on the E92 with no rubbing, but then i saw that their rear weren't tucking. That's why i wanted to make sure if 15mm will do the job on a slightly more lowered rear. Not getting much feedback from this thread though

I had only a TINY bit of tuck and 15mm rubbed on dips at 100km/h+ with 189's and a 255 with square shoulders.

so you would suggest 12mm? Will that still give a flush look in the rear?

Roll your rear fenders and add at least a 20mm spacer.

What springs did you drop it with?

it's BC coils, messed up the drop in the rear.

E92aw · 05-18-2012, 09:14 AM

how much of a raise would i need in the rear to make it look right or align with the drop in the front

I lowered my e92 substantially with PSS10's and I put 18mm spacers in the rear along with 12/15mm? in the front. Looooks good. No rubbing at all.

+1

I'm currently on stock 19's with 18mm spacers in the rear. No rubbing at all, but I also have fenders rolled.

E92aw · 05-23-2012, 08:50 AM

Thanks for all the response. I raised my rear over the weekend. Do you guys think I should go 12mm or 15mm in the rear?

DrtyJersey · 05-23-2012, 01:24 PM

Looks nice OP

Toe honest I'm not spaced out. I'm not much of help

bmw325i · 05-23-2012, 06:14 PM

A 15mm spacer puts you around the same as 9.5 et33. That said you shouldn't rub. It still won't really be flush though.

GASP · 05-24-2012, 01:20 AM

Im on 189s on Sport Suspension, I have 20 MM Spacers in the rear. No rubbing issues so far.
