My Ride: 530i sport package - endless possibilities ahead!
Default

I have 20" miro 111's with 245/35 up front and 275/30 in the rear. i currently have stock sport suspension. I only get a bit of rubbing in the back if i hit a big dip or if the car is full.

My question is if i am to lower the car I am not sure how much and what setup to use.. any suggestions will be appreciated!

I wouldn't even lower it if I were you. Your stance looks perfect with those 20's on. If you had 19's I'd say yea, but those 20's look just right. Looks very nice btw. I can't imagine what it would look like with a full Mtech kit.

why lower it? Your tires are already at the edge of the wheel arch-and the stock sport suspension is great--unless you track the car (even if you do) the sport suspension is high quality springs and struts--

Your using a larger diameter setup--and giving up 20 hp (equivelent to this-larger diamer is like having a higher lower final drive ratio)-I have calculated this in the past on this board..

so other than that the car looks awesome!
