Lowering Questions

Hey guys I hope to pick up my M coupe this weekend and I have a set of m6 reps from my 335 that I want to throw on. My question is, should I lower the if i pull the wheels on. Will the car look rediculous with 19s and no lowering?

TIA

all the pictures of 19's with no drop I've seen don't look very good, so I would definitely drop it for 19's or go with aftermarket 18's.

most aftermarket 18s actually increase the wheel gap due to wider rims and tires


OP. Put the wheels on and see if you like it. it will only take an hour or so. lowering can be a headache so make the wise decision.

Mine's got 19s and hasn't been lowered, and I don't think it looks ridiculous, though there is visible wheel gap.

They do, but to a much less degree than 19's. thus if staying with a stock suspension, wider 18 in. wheels and tires would likely look better.
