Lowering/ wheels

[jsvizijr]

If I lower my 1995 525i 1.3" in front and .75-1" in rear, will the stock 15" whell set up work, or will they rub?

Top 5 reasons for not getting tires and rims at the same time:
5. Tires are still good
4. Can't decide on the rims
3. Cant decide on the tires
2. Can't afford both (suspension/wheels) at the same time
1. Wife would KILL me dead!

will be fine...the drop you are quoting is the Sach's kit...most like it. The wheel diameter doesn't have anything to do with rubbing...its wheel offset, tire and wheel width that matter...the stock wheel and tire set up is usually the most forgiving for clearance.

i went with wheels first
then suspension....

i have huge massive wheels

its silly to upgrade the suspension and leave 15's on there imho

I ran the Bav auto springs and just changed because they sit too low in the front with the V-8 engine, they would work for you if you only want to spend like 220.00.

I just installed the Eibach springs last week and they give me just enough lift in the front to stop the car from bottoming the shocks, I live 1 mile off paved roads. The eibach run about 285.00 with shipping.

Either way I still have my stocker basketweaves and dont NEED to change them out in any hurry because of the dirt road situation, dont want to bend larger diameter wheels.

If your interested in the Bav auto springs I have my old set sitting here and will sell them to you at a reasonable cost.

I couldn't bare to spend the coin when the 15" set-up that came with the car does the trick on my long distance travels and is much more economical to maintain. I'd love a 16 or 17" set-up at the most, but have a number of higher priority projects awaiting my spare dollars.
Anyhow, I don't think it looks too bad, basketweaves might look a bit nicer.
