Sorry guys I was a little busy car shopping with the GF this weekend so no go on the pictures. Hopefully have them in after I get the car serviced.

 

hey man i seen your whip (HRE's) on beverly glen and santa monica it was like 7-8ish you made a left heading west bound towards the I405 freeway. random cuz its the first time i seen a forum member in the area i cruz.

 

Now you've got me panicking!I've got a set of 20" Vossen CV-1's(concaves)on order and i want to get the stance dead right.That 'after' pic above is exactly the look i'm after!I'm gonna run Falken 452's 275/25 and 245/30,also on order.I've already dropped it on H&R sport springs and popped a Remus on the rear
Has anyone got pics or offset info on the new CV-1's?

 

no and getting the stance look right the first time is very hard

thats why God created spacers

 

Much better!!! Those who have the balls would be fine running 0 offsets just gotta run a stretched tire and you are good..... After reading this looks like that's what I'll be doing... Thanks for the info bro!!!!

P.s when you all say add a spacer for for suspension clearance is it bc of the kwv2 ? Just curious....

 

The wheels fit on the car fine before the KW suspension. When the coilovers were installed, the fronts needed spacers simply to clear the strut...couldn't even get the car off the rack. In SigmaChiGuy's case here, the spacers were used to clear the strut AND to provide a more flush look.

With 20x9F and 20x10.5R wheels....I agree...0 offset FTW!

 

Oh crazy! I work out in that area and my girlfriend lives in Beverly Hills so I'm in that area all the time...nice thinking! I know exactly where u saw me, at that big ass intersection probably making a hard left going westbound on Santa Monica...haha~

 

I'm sure it varies from E60 model to E60 model but my 530i needed AT LEAST a 3mm spacer just to clear the FRONT KW coilovers to even get the car off the alignment rack. So yea, I needed a spacer just for suspension clearance to clear the KW V2 coilover for the fronts only.

 

Oops, didn't see Seedster's reply but I guess he had already answered the spacer question in regards to clearing the KW coilover strut. And a HUGE thumbs up for Seedster's zero offset FTW!!! Should've done that in the first place...do NOT trust what HRE recommends especially if you are looking for that aggressive/flush look! :thumbsdown:

 

Thanks for the info, time for me to get some 15mm and 12mm spacers .
