E46 Coupe Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi guys Does anyone have pics of mv2s spaced out 20mm all round lowered on eibachs or HnR's? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Don't think you'll get 20mm on a non-M without archwork will you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E46 Coupe Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 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 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiksilver_TR Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 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.

bram Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_GOK Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonK Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm running 15 rear, and with a slight arch roll it is close! Sent from my Windows Phone 8X by HTC using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dsport Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_C Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennno2005 Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) 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.

Todd1983 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) What size spacers can I run on my sport touring with standard sized staggered mv2's lowered on eibach prosports?

scott-o Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. scott-o 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isnt, the b14 kit is Bilstein coilovers, not a bilstein shock/ eibach spring set up. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bilstein-BMW-3-Touring-E46-B14-Coilovers-06-00-02-05-Kw85-170-PN-47-126848-/380751076055 Edited October 19, 2015 by scott-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennno2005 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott-o Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 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! bennno2005 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_C Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
