Hey do you get any rubbing in the front with the 9.5 set up?

slightly, but I think it is due more to how low I am.

Nice

I was going to suggest that the suspension height is a bit too low for daily driving and entering / existing parking lots.

Is the rubbing marginal or slightly worse as the suspension had a chance to settle?

s3ri3s1 · 01-23-2019, 10:56 AM

It is better now, but I dialed in a bit of rear camber with some adjustable upper arms.

Shortgamer · 01-23-2019, 05:09 PM

I like the support bars behind the grill painted white!

s3ri3s1 · 01-24-2019, 07:23 AM

More pictures!

Had the calipers painted white (I know there is overspray on the bleed cap, it is gone now). I really wanted a muted color combo for this car (only white, black and gray on the outside). I picked up a set of black mirror caps for cheap and put them on. Not sure which way I like it better.

kern417 · 01-24-2019, 08:28 AM

Black looks better

.BMW. · 01-24-2019, 11:44 AM

I think it looks great with white calipers!

whoismorggan · 01-24-2019, 02:49 PM

So am about to buy these exact same rims, am thinking 19X9.5 in the fronts and 19X10 in the rear. I still have my doubts and since your running the aggressive look I want for my car you can probably help out... FYI I don't know a lot about wheels but I've done my research. Everyone runs 19 X 8.5 in the front, but to my taste I want a more agradece look. Now, do you get any problems with rubbing with the suspension components due to the (9.5) whee size size, or do you have any problems when you turn?... in the rears did you have to roll you fenders to fit a size 10 wheel? And the same thing is there enough clearance Oh, and what about your font and back off sets? .... sorry for asking you so many questions I just want to make sure that I get the right size before I invest my money

s3ri3s1 · 02-05-2019, 06:22 AM

It rubs a bit over large freeway bumps. More so in the front, as I have a bit more camber dialed in the back. You don't have to roll the rear fenders, as they are pretty flush as is from the factory. Rolling the front will help with rubbing. I will admit they are a bit aggressive, and the next time I get new tires I will go with 265s in the rear and 245s in the front.

Love the calibers!

ReRe · 02-06-2019, 11:06 PM

Calipers look tight!! If you don't mind me asking, how much did it run to get them sprayed?

$100 for all 4. I've used brake parts cleaner on them and it didn't affect the paint at all. I did have to buy the stickers on ebay, and I want to say those were ~$10 for them? They laid down the paint first, then put the stickers on, then cleared on top of that.

2FNQUIKK · 04-30-2019, 09:07 PM

Looks GREAT! Is it a 9 or 9.5 front? I'm trying to setup my specs...

s3ri3s1 · 05-01-2019, 09:21 AM

9.5 front
