Really Confused...Please help
Hey guys,
About a month ago, I got my metallic black 325i e90 w/o SP--something I regret because of the added handling and beauty. Regardless, I figure I might as well amend some of my regrets, and lower the car and add new rims. But, being the newbie I am to this extremity of cars (I'm learning), this whole lowering + wheels is pretty much overload to me The setup I'm hoping to imitate would be the black e90 in this picture: I found the same rims here 600 dollars for an entire set seems like a pretty good deal to me! But, my excitement was soon dampened after finding that I need springs + (according to my friend) adapters to fit that wheel to my car + tires! So can anyone help out and give me some kind of walkthrough or explanation that can help me achieve this look? I'd really really appreciate this, thanks. (Can someone also give me some kind of approximation as to how much the entire spiel would amount to?) |

nick0, that's RichP's car you're looking at. Here's some more photos of it
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2977 Those are 18" E46 M3 (Style 67) wheels, on OEM sports suspension, with 10mm spacers in front and 5mm in rear. You might be able to pick up genuine used wheels from an E46 M3 owner for pretty cheap. I'm not sure why your friend said you need springs and "adapters" (spacers?) to fit that wheel to your car. These wheels will fit on your E90 without springs or spacers. Lowering the car and putting spacers to push the wheels out more to be flush with the fenders will make it look better, but isn't a prerequisite to being able to fit these wheels. |

Also, are there tires that any of you would recommend? (Preferably just "performance" tires--not ultra performance) Thanks again guys, you're helping a great deal. |
