Question for BBS LM (18 x 8.5 et 30) owners - What is your ride height (more)
 
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/16459/dsc00051.jpg"></center><p>I had the wheels on my car with stock suspension and had no rubbing issues. However, I'll be installing custom coilovers with 600/700 spring rates and would like to know the optimal ride height (ground to center of fender, e.g., 25.5 inches)that will not require fender rolling. Tires are 225/40 Toyo T1S.

TIA.

18" should be ok, I don't think you have to roll your fenders unless the car is really slammed.

Careful! I ended up not getting them due to rubbing issues with H&R streets
 
I didn't want to roll my fenders. and put spacers on.

It's my fave wheel, but just not "properly" fitted for the S4.

IMHO

You won't rub at maximum height on H&R street coilovers (m)
 
you could probably go as low as 26" with H&Rs. I'm hoping to be able to go as low as 25.5 with higher spring rates.

et30

Do you think/know if RXII's would rub?
 
I'm getting the H&R streets so now would be a good time to ask! :)

your car looks nice man!
 
I keep liking those wheels more and more ;)

thanks but the only LMs there were 19" (et 32)

audiophilitis 01-28-2002 11:22 AM

RXIIs have a less aggressive offset @ et32, just like 19" LMs -- less likely to rub than 18" LMs
