18x10.5 ET22 RI-A on 275/35/18 Conti ECF, no spacers; -3 F camber -2 R camber; no rubbing that I've encountered so far

edit: jk rip my front fender liners, hope they'll self clear

Looks great! Have been curious what it would look like with no spacers, thanks to your photo, it works well. Thank you.

Apologies for forgetting to update - this pic actually has a 5mm in the front to clear the strut, due to ECF rim protectors. But visually, it should maybe look better without the spacer since there's a tiny bit of poke up front.

I miss those, wish they had more brake clearance

BBS RI-A
Refinished similarly to diamond silver
18x10 +25 (5mm spacer to clear ohlins)
18x11 +37 (12.5mm spacer)

Falken RT660
265/35/18
295/30/18

Installed yesterday, thinking about going a tad lower, but this height is functional and works.

Nah it looks good like that. As you said, functional but also aesthetically pleasing.

Can't wait to throw mine on.

True, it’s ironically more functional than my daily 😂. This is angle def hides the wheel gap, but when I mean lower, its probably no more than a quarter inch to close up the gap in the rear.

The rear? Gap seemed less in the rear compared to front? Maybe it's just the angle or the surface not being level where you're parked.

I know what you mean though. Certain times the drop looks perfect and other times we want it lower. I'd keep it within the range of the Ohlins or I think you'll be sacrificing ride quality. That's paramount for me.

It’s definitely the photo, but I believe these cars give the reverse rake appearance even when both front and rear jackpoint clearances are equal, so even with it lowered to what I ideally want, theres gonna be a larger gap up front than the rear, but I think im only gonna go 1/5th of an inch, nothing crazy. Got plenty of room in the ohlins 😁

Here’s a photo for perspective

That looks like there's a reverse rake already, so lowering the rear more will exacerbate it.

Are you leaving the front alone?

Definitely symmetrically lower. Ill post to here again once I refresh the height.

My jet black on black

What model is this? Looks great.

Hey I’m looking for some insight. My friend is offering me a set of bbs Ch-r , staggered set 19x8x40 and 19x9x44. Would 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 fit ? And would that set fit (I’m guessing with spacers) work on a e93 m3. TIA.

This looks amazing - mind sharing the specs on them?

RS II middle piece, converting two pieces into three, VR barrel edges, front 9.5j and rear 11j, with 295 tires installed on the rear wheels.

No, don't. Not wide enough and too shallow of offsets. But stock tires 245/265 would fit well enough. Normal size for 8" & 9" historically from BMW would be more like 225/255.
