This was the first set of rims on my car earlier this year. My car is now lowered and looks nothing like this today. Here are the wheel specs.

VMR VB3 in storm grey (custom gunmetal)
Front: 19x8.5 et35 (added 5mm spacer)
Rear: 19x9.5 et33

Man, it seems e90 owners on here are against lowering the car?! Lot sos decent wheels on here and near every single one is NOT lowered? Suspension is apart of getting the right set of wheels. Stance is everything, that is why you bought the wheels in the first place. Don't let your wheel choice get muddy with leaving the stock suspension on and looking like a monster-truck...

PULL THEM DOWN!

While I agree that stance is everything, for most people, this is their daily driver, so they only want a slight drop...

OR

People want coilovers but don't have the cash flow at the moment to get coilovers and wheels (<-- my situation)... I really want some KWs. Stock sport suspension can suffice for most people for a while and can still look good with the wheels out at the fenders. If people are running setups with zero drop whatsoever, then there's concern.

illrider · 01-30-2012, 10:39 PM

Looking at getting some MRR in 19's for my 08 E90 with sport package.

19x8.5 et35 front
19x9.5 et30 rear

will 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 fit without rubbing? Will I have to roll fenders?

Thanks!

Here is my contribution on sport suspension:

overkill1125 · 02-26-2012, 08:19 PM

Awesome thread. I know 19 looks the best but where i live is full of potholes and bad roads. Planning on sticling with 18's with sport suspension hope i don't regret. So that is my problem, 18 or 19 and torn between vmr718, vb3, avantgardem359. comments appreciated.

How's the ride with 19's coming from stock 17's?
