Just need the advice and maybe pics. My 04' 545 needs a facelift and I want to start simple. I have style 124s and would like a nice wheel spacer that will take it to the edge of the fender well. Next is the drop, how low to go and go with which springs? Thanks in advance.

 

If you're doing it for looks, go for it. If you're doing it to make your car handle better, think again. With the sport package there is a good chance your little facelift will compromise handling more than help.

 

since rear offsets are ET32 on your 124s, you could go with a 15mm spacer on each wheel to bring them out to flush with the fenders.

drop will be completely up to you. coilovers you could go with a number of drops since theyre adjustable. eibach prokit gives 1.2" all around, H&R sport 1.3" front 1.2" rear, H&R race 2" all around.

 

not to hijack this thread but im also curious.....i have 124's with sport pkg.....if i installed 15mm spacers would it give it a more staggered look? and would it be the same handling/comfort?

 

I had the sports suspension and added the Eibach pro kit and 13mm spacers on my 172's.

Looks and handling are at a higher level than before

 

im sorry,but wht do spacers do?where r they installed,wht do they look like?
ive been searching for them in the entire forum

 

Obvious you know what you are talking about. How did you get so knowledgeable? I enjoy reading your response. Thanks.

 

I see you have a beautiful white. I am wrestling with color- space grey vs white. Are you happy with your choice? What drove you to go with white? I have a white 7 series and I have really liked it. My wife has the Platinum.

 

got all the knowledge from this forum and the friends ive made because of it. learned about spacers and offsets specifically from members vegastrashed and hollywoodtrash. thanks for the compliment too

 

With 15mm and the drop was there any rub? How low can I go? Plus while I have all the knowledge here at the forum, where and what name brand to buy?
