Anyone have 18's or 19's on stock xi suspension?

Silver330xi · 06-17-2015, 05:44 PM

I had stock suspension with my 19's before lowering it and it was awkward. Mainly in the front....HUGE gap.

RPW44 · 06-17-2015, 10:03 PM

I never thought I would want to lower my car but now that I have some style 95's on there it does look sky rocket high. I had originally budgeted some extra cash to get them painted (nasti-dipped until I pick a color) but I think that money is going toward H&R sport springs to give it a bit of a drop now. Look at the pics and you'll see what I'm talking about.

18s off an M5, not sure which style exactly. No spacers Couldn't lower if if I wanted, they stick out so much!

Looks so good.

My exact thoughts and question.

Here is mine 06 325xi on VMR V715 with 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 also on my previous set up with 162 style oem bmw wheels if it helps anyone. Stock height for now, Zsp springs going in soon.

After putting the 19's on I'm struggling with the significant wheel gap in the front has well.

I know 18's are an option and so are 19's from BMW but want to see what some aftermarket wheels will look like. If anyone can post some examples that'll be great.

I have APEX EC-7s. 9" with ET 31. Pilot Super Sports 255/35/18.

Are you running those tires with rolled fenders or shaved lining? What offset on your VMRs? Seems like they'd rub like a SOB. I'm on 235/35/19 and 265/30/19, I'm wanting to go with beefier tires next time but I'm not sure how wide.

Offsets if i remember correctly 38 and 30? i want to say?... Don't have it on top of my head, i can check. No rubbing on stock suspension what so ever, even with a full car. Now I just went to Zsp D7&D5 springs so it dropped a tiny bit so now with a full car it will only slightly (barely notice) rub on a bump or hole at a decent speed. But me and a passenger driving, no rubbing either. New pic with the Zsp springs on.

On this picture, there is 2 people inside the car and a trunk with my old springs and groceries. It was about a finger and a half between tire and fender with them 2 inside the car. The car alone the rear i can stick about finger and a half to 2 i think.

BTW no rolling or shaved lining.

Know how you feel, felt the same way when i put my 19s on...Yours def looks super tall in the rear!, I am afraid you would rub with H&R springs. I ended up getting just Zsp springs from another member on here. Gave me the drop i was looking for which was minimal, but doesn't look so lifted anymore lol, paid $135 for my springs shipped.

Hi guys! I'm relatively new to the forum. Just picked up a 2007 e92 335i and I'm looking to buy a new set of wheels.

This is the set up that I would like to buy, but not sure if the offset will make it rub. Does anyone know for sure:

Avante Grade M359
Front: 18x8.5 et15
Rear: 18x9.5 et22

I will be sticking to the stock tires size and only have plans to do springs - not aggressive drop.

igzekyativ · 04-15-2016, 02:18 PM

Nice! 19's actually fill in the stock xi suspension nicely

jonknick · 05-10-2016, 08:47 PM

Picked up these 19's a while ago now. I'm not happy at all with the gap at all and will be installing the Sonic Tuning coilovers once I get a local shop to do it for me. anyone know a place in upstate NY?

front: 235-35-19 rear 265-30-19, I forget the offsets
