2011 JB 135i on Eibach's /w 18 Gunmetal CSLs

TreDirtyFive · 09-05-2010, 12:56 PM

This seems the typical/traditional route for most 1ers and 3 series mongers, as I had this setup on my 335i E92 as well (19s), but it always works for me...pretty much looks great on all colors IMHO. Please excuse the huge stealership window sticker that sorely needs to be taken off. The ride is always great on the Eibach's as I had my fenders rolled, front and back, for the more agressive offsets and I'm riding on puffy 225/40s (8.5) front and 245/40s (9.5) in the rear...I also went with Conti DWS's as I wanted Ultra High Performance All-Season's (not to mention the 50,000 mile warranty) for the upcoming ski season (I'm an avid boarder) and they work great and quietly on my Audi A3. last thing...Thank You to the fine people at EAS for all their assistance with the wheel setup!!! Also a shout out to Long Tran and Ivan for the Fender Roll and Spring installation...they are pro! Cheers.

nice, rubbing on the front?

competition · 09-05-2010, 01:38 PM

wow nice job on the wheels. are they VMR?

arsenyc · 09-05-2010, 01:53 PM

looking good, what are the offsets?

TreDirtyFive · 09-05-2010, 02:13 PM

I believe 40 and 45...I could be wrong.

texasmojo · 09-05-2010, 05:39 PM

Looks great. Mind telling us the brand?

marcus · 09-05-2010, 06:41 PM

Perfect drop!

hot!

Yes2m3cs · 09-05-2010, 07:41 PM

Looks great man

miiipilot · 09-06-2010, 12:25 AM

Very nice. Who makes those?

arok · 09-06-2010, 01:46 AM

EAS = VMR. nice wheels, hope you went w/stock tire sizes, or they will rub big time

TreDirtyFive · 09-06-2010, 02:20 AM

I had my all my fenders rolled and pressed so it's just fine unless I hit the biggest and tallest of bumps (almost never)...I felt some subtle rubbing on full turn lock on a bump in the front...only once so far. I got 40s front and back so it's a bit too puffy and tall (All-Seasons for the upcoming ski season and general versatility) but otherwise I like it. Yes, VMRs. These are 1-series specific...it's what Steve, one of the owners of eas, runs on his 135.

Uptempo80 · 09-06-2010, 02:25 AM

Perfect stance and look!

SiN55 · 09-06-2010, 04:34 AM

Look is perfect but I need something plug and play, no fender rolling...

TreDirtyFive · 09-06-2010, 12:00 PM

If you keep the suspension stock it won't rub...

Sidh135i · 09-06-2010, 12:02 PM

looks great!

i threw on some spacers for my stock wheels today on my stock suspension and i'm actually rubbing in the rear. 15mm spacers in the rear. i'm dropping my car on KW V2's tomorrow. but why would someone want to keep stock suspension with aftermarket rims? wheel gap is no bueno! haha

True! If not for our cars, why?

TreDirtyFive · 09-07-2010, 12:58 PM

There ya go.

VMRWheels · 09-09-2010, 05:25 PM

A little late, but I just wanted to congratulate you on the purchase. The car and photos look flawless. I think GM on Black works extremely well... You made the right choice!

SiN55 · 09-10-2010, 05:00 AM

Well, then 10mm spacers rear will be perfect for us.

bimmer74 · 09-10-2010, 05:57 PM

The car looks great with the wheels and the drop. The tire sidewalls are a bit too stretched but otherwise very nice.
