To drop or not to drop? Pictures attached

ZKing1208 · 08-17-2016, 02:51 PM

My buddy just put 19 inch rims on his 428. Looks great in my opinion however I think he should drop it a lil to get rid of the gap and make it more flush. He's on the fence.

He's running 235/35 up front and 265/30 rear

What do you guys think?

Wheel gap makes baby Jesus cry.

yah, a drop is in order.

don't do springs only, though.

coilovers, springs/struts combo or m-perf susp are the only way to go.

I agree.. Does the car have xdrive?

I put H&R springs (only) on my xdrive f30 and it rode way too rough on my 19s...

Does he have adaptive dampers or M Sport suspension? With his wheel/tire setup it depends on which angle you look at it so I can see why he's on the fence about it. I would would use springs that would provide a mild drop of 1" or less and it should sit just right.
