lol no i don't notice a difference of speed with my 19"s i think there lighter then my OEM ones? a lot of members are sitting on 20s they look hott, but I couldn't afford 20s

The wheel gap is an optical illusion with having less tire and more wheel in there. If you measure the gap before and after, there will be no difference. With that said, I think a set of H&R Sports would really set your car off and get rid of that 4x4 look.

I had 19s and springs on my e46. My 20s with coilovers is a much better ride.

Now no way would I get 20s with springs. Yikes!

rzm3 · 12-26-2007, 08:42 AM

if the gap is big... get it dropped... i have 19" m6 on xi and couldn't stand the gap and more so i got it dropped

The gap should be the same from all directions around the tire to look good. Drop makes the gap asymmetrical and the smooth ride will deteriorate. Also clearance suffers. Don't drop it.

i think coilovers would be too harsh of a ride, lowering springs on the other hand; i had Tein S techs on my last car and they rode better than stock!!

In my experience, lowering spring can be more harsh than coilovers.
