Which springs for the bmw 135i w/ the V713 wheels?

[bRi-135i]

I'm getting these V713 wheels, and they are 19inches. Which type of springs should i get to lower my car without rubbing? Please help me out with this.

If you are refuring to the ones that are 8.5 et40 and 9.5 et45 you will NOT be able to accomidate any kind of drop with out fender work. To make it work with stock suspension you will have to be selective on the kinds of tires you run, i.e. 225/30 and 255/30. I just ordered a pair...

Right, you will need to roll your fenders with those offsets to make it work properly. One of the least aggressive drops is the H&R Sport Springs.

Fronts are 40 and rears are 45

This guy is running H&R coilovers but rear tires are 245s I think and he has cut the inner fender liner.

i'm actually buying it from a guy who has a 135i here in Germany for $500 with tires and extra...i saw pictures of his car and it looks great...i emailed him and asked him about if he did any fender work or any rubbing involved...the H&R sport springs were the ones i'm planning to get...i'm just worried that it might drop too much for the 19inch wheels...

The fronts should fit fine with no fender modifications, the rears you will be fine stock, but need fender modifications no matter what suspension you're doing.

What is a fender mod? this is my first car and i'm new to mods...

H&R Sports Springs= Rubbish!!! With those offsets.
If you really want to lower with no issues consider
the H&R OE Sport Spring Set Only 1.0'' F & 0.75'' R
opposed to 1.8'' & 1.2" with the H&R Sports. I'd run
a 225/30/19 & 255 or 245/30/19.........My opinion only others chime in!!

i was thinking about the OE H&R too because it would lower it just enough with the 19 inch rims...thanks for the tip

is there a DIY for it? or do i have to go to a professional to do it?

I would go to a pro because its not the kind of thing that is reversable
