i like slammed, but it could also be lowered a bit to lose some of that gap, doesnt need to be slammed

I agree with you on that one, plus what is the point of driving a car so low, when you have to replace the oil pan every few months

Dominic.G. · 10-22-2010, 09:41 AM

depends where you live and where you drive

i dont think i could slam mine where i live

Nicely done chinh, I love the 197's and hope to own a set soon. What size tires did you go with and can you shoot an image showing how flush they are to the fender? Remember, imitation is the more sincere form of flattery.

chinh · 10-22-2010, 01:39 PM

255/40/18 rear
225/40/18 front (i went to 40 when i got runflats, dunno why haha)

i'll take better pics after new bumper & get my hardtop painted or after i wash my ride. =)

BTW thanks for posting the style, i totally forgot what offset was

FRONT: 18x8.0 ET34
REAR: 18x8.5 ET37

Ok, my M3 rims are on and I feel much better now

Fronts offset 8 Tires Contis DWS 225/40/19
Rears offset 9.5 Tires Contis DWS 255/35/19

S85FTW · 11-03-2010, 09:33 PM

no offense but that looks like the hondas i used to see on gun hill road back in the day with the scooter wheels sticking out of the wheel wells

Really don't think these suit the car, let alone fit.

Also, the car NEEDS to be dropped to pull of the look with these wheels, and
if it was dropped, it would rub badly on the rears.

Not sure if that's possible with an XI

I would sell them on, and get something more suited.
