DEVIL 666 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm sure the ride quality improved with the 35 profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennno2005 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yes you are right I was exaggerating when I said massive arch gap; however it doesn't take much to make the wheels look a little lost in the arches. If you like it then that's all that matter - we are just voicing our opinions. What I was getting at with my post was that if you wanted the car lower you could have just fitted lowering springs.

Lex Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) I'm sure the ride quality improved with the 35 profile. I had 35 profile on my other wheels for 2 years, no problems at all Yes you are right I was exaggerating when I said massive arch gap; however it doesn't take much to make the wheels look a little lost in the arches. If you like it then that's all that matter - we are just voicing our opinions. What I was getting at with my post was that if you wanted the car lower you could have just fitted lowering springs. Do you all think that I've got 35 profile instead of 40 to lower my car? (inserts facepalm) NO!, I did it because I hate the look of big tires, with 35 and 215 it's giving a slightly stretch which looks much better than before. As I said before, I will fit some lowering springs, 50/40mm or 40/30mm, I will see which one's are good for nice look and also to don't affect my daily use much. Spacers, Lowered and slightly stretch can look much better than standard big tires and stupid high ET that makes the wheels lost in the arches.

DEVIL 666 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm the same, I don't really care about the ride quality for me the look is more important, but on a standard wheels which don't require 35 profile I would use /40 for a bit more comfort. I also using 35 profile atm but that's because I got 19's and they are m3 fitment wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 How have you lowered it just 10mm? Spring cups? How have you lowered it just 10mm? Spring cups? Using low profile tires The car feels much better with 225 instead of 255 imo, I know the 255 is the OEM size, but sticks to roads like it's glued... to much grip isn't good sometimes. I can't imagine why we might think you have lowered it using tyres :S bennno2005 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I can't imagine why we might think you have lowered it using tyres :S He was asking how, and basically using lower profile means the car sits lower, adding 40mm springs, the car will sit 50mm lower = win. I'm the same, I don't really care about the ride quality for me the look is more important, but on a standard wheels which don't require 35 profile I would use /40 for a bit more comfort. I also using 35 profile atm but that's because I got 19's and they are m3 fitment wheels. They do require 35 profile now, using spacers I already had some rubbing problems on the rears with 255, think about if it was lowered. Now i'm more than happy with them, looks much better and also gives me more room for lowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Great, now as everything is clear (i hope) can anyone recommend me some springs? I've seen that they're different for AUTO, or I can just buy normal ones and the drop will be a bit bigger as the autobox is heavier? Which it would be even better. I was looking for something like 40/30mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_F Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Looks like it's on castors with the 35 profile. Wheels look too small, despite how much it's dropped. Or not. It's always going to look strange with that profile rubber Lex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz2282 Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 why didn't you go for a 215/40 tyre for the front that would have decreased the tyre width and also side wall size, but maintain a better tyre to arch gap you do know how tyre sizing works ?? don't you !!

Lex Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I tried today 255 on 9.5 with 20mm spacers, looks great but it rubs when going over speed-bumps or turning, I may need to roll a bit the arches and it's perfect.

DEVIL 666 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 I think 255 is way to fat for 9.5j. I would use 225, even the 235 would help. Looks better than the other wheel tho but still needs lowering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
