Ch's installed this weekend

drivrswntd · 05-03-2009, 12:43 PM

Just had the CH's put on the car yesterday and thought I would throw up some quick pictures. Car is lowered on h&r sport springs. Wheels are 19x9.5 et 40 with 20mm h&r spacers and 19x10 et 20 in the rear. Enjoy

Looks really clean man... perfect look IMO. I haven't really asked around b/c I never planned on modding my car, but do you notice a big difference in comfort after lowering? I really like the ride of the M and was a bit nervous. If I can't lower, I won't get wheels.

drivrswntd · 05-03-2009, 12:53 PM

Not really at all and I cant feel a difference. To me the car rides just the same with the spring as stock, just a little firmer when cornering and pushing the car hard.

mtechnik3 · 05-03-2009, 03:15 PM

Looks clean and classy...still one of my favorite wheels. Great drop/stance!

boostedtwin · 05-03-2009, 04:01 PM

Good job, I have the same setup. Go ahead and add a 5mm spacers on the rear to be flushed with fender. Yes, it fits with no rubbing. I have on mine.

RandyB · 05-03-2009, 04:43 PM

This is easily my favorite wheel so far on the E9X M3. Great fitment too, although I wish they offered more sizes/offsets so that look could be achieved without spacers. I'm sure it has been covered, but will BMW center caps fit on these wheels?

Boostedtwin's looks great also - I like the extra 5mm in the rear.

B-e-a-u-tiful! Love it!

phrozen06 · 05-04-2009, 09:18 AM

Beautiful. Glad to see the front CH's I sold you have made it to a good home.

Heat00 · 05-04-2009, 10:14 AM

so clean and beautiful

STALKER · 05-04-2009, 10:18 AM

What size tires are you running?

veightkiller · 05-04-2009, 10:54 AM

Ch's = Classic they look great your car.

ACZakka325i · 05-04-2009, 11:11 AM

Hot Secks, that is my favorite wheel of all time!

For now the stock PS2's, 245/265 there is a slight bit of stretch to the sidewall but it doesnt look bad at all.

STALKER · 05-04-2009, 12:48 PM

255 and 285 combo would be nice.

johnhk79 · 05-06-2009, 12:25 PM

CHs always look great on any BMW

awesome choice

Forgive me because I am retarded, but wouldn't ordering wheels with more aggressive et accomplish the same thing as adding spacers?

Cheers,
Mark

Looks nice and clean!

longtran · 05-06-2009, 01:58 PM

classy look. this was my route. you need some painted reflectors.

bavarian19 · 05-06-2009, 03:21 PM

I know there are some M3's fitting the more aggressive front wheels on, but it would be nice if BBS offered an 8.5 inch width 19 inch rim to fit the fronts properly without spacers.

I know it happens on a regular basis, but large spacers would be a concern for me if it were my car.

They do offer a 19x8.5 +20 offset for the M3. I went with 9.5 as well for the more concave look. H&R spacers are fine and no vibrations at all.

+1

The right hubcentric spacer and bolts will provide problem free operation.
