@Keith, have you got a rear end pic? I really dont want to run 225s in fear of them looking way too skinny on an e39.
@OP, sorry for the hijack!

Now that I got my old man tirade out there, carry on.

Im still pretty sunken in...lemme grab a pic...Originally posted by stinkinrich View PostHaw far are you from flush?



Rear is at et14 after an 8mm spacer, front is et7 after an 8mm spacer. 19x8.5 with a 215/35 falken fk452, 19x9.5 with a 225/35 falken fk453 (they didnt have the rears in the 452s since they stopped making them :/ )Last edited by keith2; 08-08-2013, 08:23 AM.

Off the top of my head I think its around -5 that will put you flush with a 19x9 so yours might be in the teens. There's so much sheet metal to pull up front though that I'm going to go close to -20. I've done all the math before but it was a while ago and of course im not one to write things downOriginally posted by keith2 View Postlooks good man! I have NNR coils on mine and the front drops about the same maxed but ur a lot lower in the rear than me. I gotta do something about that lol. Im assuming you have no spacers at all considering the offsets of the wheels? Theres plenty of room for et0-ish in the front if you have enough stretch. Im at et7 on a 19x8.5 and have tons of room to go. Cant wait to see it after your plans man!

Thanks yall, Its really nothing special though>
The JOM bluelines are pretty ok considering they cost less than replacing my suspension with oem parts. A little soft in the rear and that's made worse by the 150 pounds worth of subwoofers in my trunk but overall they're ok.
Spacers are 20mm in the rear and 14 in the front. So specs are 19x9 +10 front and 19x10 +4 rear. I'm running -4 degrees of camber. Rear tires rub the top of the fenders on big bumps fronts are fine.
Tires are 235/40 Pherelli p zero rosso's in the back and 215/35 hanhook v'12's in the front.
Things I want to change:
Going to a 35 series in the back, shaving the fender lips and pulling more so I can put a 25mm spacer there
In the front I think i'm going with 30-45mm and a hard roll and pull, would love to put together some sort of camber kit up front as well.
Oh and a half inch drop front and back
After that it should be perfect, and the most aggressively fitted e39 I know of on these wheels... nothing special but dialing in the fitment on your car is pretty satisfying

Looks real great to me. What are the et's on the wheels? Running any spacers?

Its pretty hard to pull off lots of poke on this car the fenders just don't work with it. Its still a wip. Coils are maxed out in the front but not the back(in the first two pictures they aren't maxed even), i'm going to stick e90 drop hats on the front to get it down a half inch and put inch and a half spacers with a hard roll and pull to give the front about the fitment the rear has. Then ill drop it about half an inch in the back to match so its always tucking those rears. Good? Good.
Its not the lowest 39 by any means but im pretty content with the height, as far as I can tell nobody on style 95's with this car is any lower than I am, and ill definitely be number 1 in the future. Go me. I'm the bess.Last edited by Stupid Kid; 08-05-2013, 05:58 PM.
