MV2's lowered on springs + 20mm spacers all round

[E46 Coupe]

Hi guys

Does anyone have pics of mv2s spaced out 20mm all round lowered on eibachs or HnR's?

Cheers

Don't think you'll get 20mm on a non-M without archwork will you?

[E46 Coupe]

I ran on it my first BMW 8.5 all round but wih a 215 35 tyre.

Sure it can be done with orginal tyre sizes?

I also ran 20mm all round on my 325ci on mv's on coil overs with 225 40 all round

Hurry up & make your mind up already Kaps lol

Doubt it with normal 255 are tyres.. Mine are rolled (although no spacers) and I think I'd struggle with 15mm. With my old Falkens, maybe.. With these massive sidewalled Vereds no way!

15mm would be safer if you plan on sticking with OEM tyre sizes. Otherwise you'll have to go thinner?

[E46 Coupe]

I guess so. Maybe wih the 255 on the rear it mite be bit of an arse.

Haha tell me about it J!

Waiting for jake to come back!

Im running 20mm spacers on the rear with lowering.

Needed arches rolling to get the 255 tyres in though. Plus I then swapped to 225 rear tyre instead.

I did post some pics of the wheels/tyres somewhere.....probably in my photo blog thingy, but cant see the pictures whilst im at work.

Mines lowered on sportsline with 15mm spacers all round with staggered wheels and 225/255 tyres - when it was on standard m sport springs the were close but lowering has altered the negative camber and I'd believe 20mm spacers would fit all round

i'm running 20's on the front no problem, 15's on the rear, would need an arch chop and maybe a slight roll to run a 20 on the rear really low! check the photo gallery mate theres pics of my 'loon in there spaced 20 front 15 rear. perfect combo

I'm running 15 rear, and with a slight arch roll it is close!

Of your wanting to run 20mm you will need to change from a 255 35 to a 225 40

Here's a pic of my old one with 20 mm spacers on

[John_C]

So what's a sensible size to run that's looks the best with standard tyre size's with no issues for front and rear ?

[bennno2005]

I've got 15mm all round.

Standard sizes lowered (very slightly) on Eibach Pros / Bilstien B8's

They do rub very, very occasionally when accelerating hard out of a corner.

When it was standard height I got no rubbing at all.

Photo is before lowering but TBH looks more or less the same now.

Any bigger and you would want your rear arches rolled or stretched tyres.

What size spacers can I run on my sport touring with standard sized staggered mv2's lowered on eibach prosports?

I've got 12mm all round with 255-35 Good Year Eagle F1's and the rear was rubbing under hard acceleration on left hand bends. I've got Bilstein b14 kit but they dont go particularly low, certainly doesnt look any lower than the eibach sportline kits.

That's because your B14 kit is Bilstien B8 shocks with Eibach sportline springs.

It isnt, the b14 kit is Bilstein coilovers, not a bilstein shock/ eibach spring set up.

Sorry my mistake, I thought you meant B12 but with sport lines instead of prolines. I've got the prolines so mine will sit higher than yours!

[scott-o]

Easy mistake, their grading gets confusing at the best of times haha really impressed with the kit and think i hit it lucky with the price, they seem to have hiked it up now!

[John_C]

I went for 15mm and 20mm what do you rekon stick the 20's up front. The cars standard height and the cars running Mv2's.
