[QUOTE="525i, post: 156291, member: 103"] Dear Tom, Damn nice ride. Question abt the wheels. [I]even if you're running on other wheels that are smaller in diameter with the stock E34 18-20mm offset you should still need the spacers in front or you'll end up having to go for really really short springs which i've tried, and trust me, you won't like it one bit. the springs are so tightly wound together that if you go on the highway and there's a slight uneveness, the springs will end up fully compressed. don't ask me how it feels like when it does that[/I] [I]the wheels are just too close to the shocks even when stock.[/I] [I]fortunately, all is good now. i'm now running on 10mm spacers in front and 15mm in the rears. machined aluminium with hubcentric rings.[/I] Which means to say your current wheel offset is abt 30mm in the front and 35mm in the rear? Any issues abt the tyres rubbing onto the fender? Will handling also be compromised since the offset is out by 10 and 15mm respectively? And how are the spacers fitted? Is it bolted on using the 5 lugs? Thanks man. [/QUOTE]
