I put on my new shoes.

Yeah, I definately think the front and rear need another 1" drop. Just a tad bit of tire tuck all around.

It's just occurred to me while you own the most amazing rims I've ever seen, they NEED to be tucked into the arches - they kinda stick out. 8.5 and 9.5 is huge...
Are you running spaces? Can you reduce the offset at all? Otherwise it's time to flare the arches and tuck those bad boys up.

I think the other guys preferred the 'stance' of your old setup, rather than the WED rims themselves.
Just my opinion. Loving your car regardless.

No spacers. Im getting Gruppe N coilovers installed before Bfest so the front will come down, but the rear will have to be rolled to go lower because when hitting some decent rolling bumps, it rubs. In person they look very good, as I think people that have seen them will vouch for. But no worries, the front will be dropped. And yes, the stance with the WEDs was basically perfect looking for me, so I dunerstand the observation that these arent looking optimal. One must understansd that with the same suspension, going from 16x7 all around to 17x8.5/9.5 and not rubbing and still looking decent is an occasion. haha. I always welcome opinions, dont hold back. Although Im surprised at the reaction, that doesnt mean Im pissed that some people arent completely satisfied with them. Im very happy with them, so while I like hearing opinions, the fact that I am in love with them is the overriding factor. Thank you fort your honesty though. I value honesty

If you pay for my fender rolling in the rear, Im game jk hahaha. ;)

I know you can afford to have them rolled Mariano. I don't see how you figured you wouldn't be rolling them with 9.5" rims :)

[CleanAzzE30z]

I asked and it wasnt necessary with my suspension setup, so I didnt calculate that into the cost. I also assumed (wrongly) that the car would sit the same as with my WEDs, if not better. Its a learning processs. ;)

You should just get some Evo 3 fenders... that way you dont have to roll and you can have them tucked... im sure it has crossed your mind, just an idea, incase you didnt want to roll :/

[Digitalwave]

Evo III fenders are cut higher as well, so he'd have to drop at least another 2" in the front to be tucking.

I love your M soo much... Great choice in wheels, you couldnt of picked a better set! Great work Mariano...

Really... i just thought that the flairs cut out wider, i didnt know that you would have to drop more to run them. Good to know.

[uofom3]

^you don't have to drop more, but it allows you to drop more and still have clearance. It looks somewhat strange if you don't lower it on evo 3 fenders IMO.

[Widm3r]

Yeah i could imagine that it gives off a really nice tucked look if you slam it... thanks for the info ufom3 and digital.

Well, I've never seen an EVO III fender tucking tire actually. They are noticably larger, and cut at least 1" higher. You have to make the car EXTREMELY low to actually have it 'look' low.

I guess a full race suspension with changed suspension points would be the only way to see it look low.

uh im a noob, what exactly is the advantage of the stretched tires?

to fit WIDE rims on a low car, and to get that EUROOOOOOOOH look.
