19's with no drop?
Hello, I have a 2011 E90 (LCI) with sport package and wanted to see what the car would look like with 19" wheels and NO drop. I ive in an area where lowering the car is not practical as a daily driver.
If there are photos available, I would love to see how bad the wheel gap is on an XI. Most photos are of a standard 335i and not the XI which has about a half inch extra ground clearance. Thanks, |

OP, the xi may ride about 1-inch higher than gindajatt1's car.
There has been some photo's posted of xi's with 19's. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Thanks for the photo, but I am afraid the car will look bad with nice rims and no drop.
I might have to sacrifice my front bumper and become a snow plow in winter, maybe buy a small drop spring set, or coilovers and set a minimal drop (~1" to 2") |

Here's my car on stock xi suspension. It's about shot though at only 62k...I'm getting coils soon.

I've been searching this topic since I bought my car in nov. 19's with no drop looks like shit, and if you've seen one picture you've seen them all. They all look the same.

Any more pics? Especially if someone has E92 with x-Drive. My car is stock and not really enthusiastic about lowering it, but unsure how the 19" will look without.
Especially I'm interested if anyone has back wheels with 9.5" ET-20 265/35/18.. worried if that will rub in high speeds or so? Last edited by larelol; 04-05-2011 at 06:55 AM.. |

Here's how it looked like with 19" on E92, the gap was able to fit my hand (vertically, like hand shake)
check my links for more pics

I personally am saving up to get these, they just make your car look amazing. Getting wheels and tires and no drop (esp on XI) is like buying gym shoes without shoe laces just doesnt go. Like someone else said you will eat yourself inside. A buddy of mine went from just wheels, to springs, to spring & shock combo, and finally with KW v1 coilovers. Just imagine how much money he would have saved by just getting the coilovers in the first place. You will start to think your wheels look bad when its really the wheel gap. |

Omg, it looks like TwinTurbo's rig looks totally ok - admittedly a bit high - but evenly spaced.. and from TL's pic that rake is really too much.. :P now what to think. Maybe I should buy the 19 or 18's and see how she sits and be prepared to buy coils *sigh*.
