Pic Request? Anyone have Aftermarket Wheels and NO lowering springs?

1ChrisRuck · 05-12-2015, 11:19 AM

If you've installed aftermarket wheels on your 2-Series WITHOUT adding lowering springs, will you please post photos. Even though the stock M235i wheels are starting to grow on me(cleaning them are a b!tch though). I'd really like to add VMR wheels but feel the car is low enough. Don't get me wrong, all the 2-Series I've seen with lowering springs look fantastic. Just not sure if lowering springs are Houston Texas street friendly plus the car looks pretty low as is(IMO).

I love my M235i more with every mile driven

1,211 and counting

If you don't plan on lowering it then you would not have to worry about it

Thanks!
Would 235 / 265 combo work as well, without any rubbing?
