You can drive mine to see what the koni's feel like with springs I will be going to the Miro meet Feb 23 in Brea,CA.. I test drove the 535i non sport and I really liked the power steering it felt different more precise and it did have some body roll in it. You'll like the Koni upgrade better than the springs I think.

Has anyone installed 15mm spacers with 166 wheels? I know 12mm are probably just fine but I was wondering if 15mm spacers would be too much?

Even 20mm for the rear wheels would be fine, thats what I have.
So you have 20mm with 166 wheels? Can you post some pictures please?

WOW 20's!!! Nice? My 12mm spacers are very close to the fender openings. I'd love to see pictures also.

After much back and forth, i finally made a decision about wheels and chose 166's. I was considering a big lipped 20in spoke wheel, but ultimately chose OEM reliability/strength and the agressive look (my opinion) of the 166. My car is non-sport, m-tech side skirts are on the way.
Is there too much gap between the wheel and fender? I know most mod minded members will say to lower it, but just looking for opinions.
Thanks to member "delje08" for the good price for wheels, tires and 12mm Rogue spacers.

Hey west', aren't you trying to sell your 172's? What will you replace them with?
