just got my 08 328i ready to start moding not sure if I should put springs on before or after i get my rims. rims are going to be bbs LM reps with an aggressive off set..any suggestions?

lower first. wheels look whack if you're riding high. especially if you're going for aggressive fitment because they will stick out past the body without the lowering and extra camber.

not really...

it's just wiser to do the suspension first if you plan on fooling around with tire widths and wheel offsets
