No Im hearing you correctly and Im going to tell you, you have room to go down, my e36 was lower than this on 15's...and right now in my jetta my control arm/subframe is about a dimes height off the ground, so dont start with clearance. Make shit fit. This things deserves more lowssss.Originally posted by Lumis_Wolfy View Post1) No fender pulling. I did it to my golf, I don't care for the look on these.
2) I drag enough car with me as is. Lower isn't in the cards till I can actually afford to start breaking shit. The crew that I roll with are virgin territory for my ridiculous lows. They don't so much care for me shooting chunks of road and sparks when we freeway cruise, so please, think of them
and, I don't think you guys are hearing me right because, I litterally don't have more than 3/4 of an inch before I'm physically dragging the car full-stop. I'm to the point where I can't turn on inclines and you guys want me to go lower? I know this is StanceWorks, but that makes stance-not work anywhere outside of my driveway.
And you have the right size sidewall on there...for a 16. Other e36 owners on 17's have 40 series sidewalls and still have more clearance than 3/4 in off the ground and are definitely lower than you. So your argument holds no water. Learn about rolling diameter, wheel size does not effect the ride height of a car.Originally posted by Oh, Word?You guys realize every time you mention his car being lower than a bagged car his penis grows one inch in girth.

I don't want my subframe "a dimes height" off the ground. I like to drive it and not hit absolutely everything. Mild grades in pavement already cause me to drag car. Im running a 45 series. on a 16. Do the mathematics on rolling diameter, you will see a 40 series on a 17 is slightly smaller than stock. +2 inches, less 20mm puts diameter within a few MM of stock. I'm running 15mm shorter than stock tires, on an inch larger all around. My argument holds plenty of water in terms of ride height if you actually understand what rolling diameter equates to. There is an optical illusion of "more low" on a 17, because there is a larger rolling diameter. Compare rocker to pavement, not rim to fender. I'm happy to take measurements if you don't believe me. A larger tire would fix any "gap", but I like salvaging the sidewall when I drive.Originally posted by e36rjbmw View PostNo Im hearing you correctly and Im going to tell you, you have room to go down, my e36 was lower than this on 15's...and right now in my jetta my control arm/subframe is about a dimes height off the ground, so dont start with clearance.

Pretty low, too much poke (e36's have never looked good with poke) I'm as low if not lower on 17's and i scrape shit every single day, its what comes with being low. Don't compare your low and fitment with the big boys when its miles apart.

If your getting that car stuck on the ground you cant drive.Originally posted by Lumis_Wolfy View PostI don't want my subframe "a dimes height" off the ground.
