lowering question??

[grease]

hey guys & girls, hope everyone's babies running great. I have a suspension question. I plan on lowering my car, 1995 540ia. I found springs that claim a 1.7" front and 1.6" rear drop. I would like to know if I run 18X8.5 or 17X8.0-10 if I will have to roll the fenders. I also wonder if there will be any rubbing issues. Thanks in advance. I would ideally like to go as low as possible so if anyone knows of spring with a greater drop please inform me. Pictures esp. welcome!!

I have stock diameter tires and the rims are 20mm offset, never ever rubbed.

Factory M-tech on 95/6 w/Sport pkg...1.5" front, 1" rear... Front inner fender was rolled. No rubbing at all.

front - 8x17ET20 w 235/45-17
rear - 9x17ET22 w 255/40-17

Cheers,

Are those stock pillars on your 95 540i

You mean the B-pillars, right? Yes, they are factory original. In that pic, the car is completely factory original. After that, I added an E.A.T. chip and clear tails...still have to do front corners and side signals and clear reflectors in the rub-strip.

ok good luck finding some actually good front clear front signals, theres no one i trust right now, i have seen some pretty bad clear signals out there. do you use something to shine the b pillars? they look great, mine are meant but im constantly polishing them up
