Gap should be filled when he gets the springs and they settle.

yeah the car has been sitting lower since i put the wheels on in those pics acutally cause the adaptive suspension lowered the car after the hydraulic suspension was filled with fluid from jacking the car up.

How would a jack in the rear hold up the front of your car if that little one gave way? Anyway, looks good.

the jack in the rear is on the same side of the car if you jack up the rear tire the front tire will come up a bit as well. its not going to hold it up itll just prevent the rotor from slamming on the ground.

Not wide enough but pretty nice...

yeah i kinda wish i had a wider rear tire like 295 rear and 265 front

That jack is plenty strong. Its the same on that came with my Audi. It may look small and is a little confusing to use at first, but one you figure it out, it is probably the best design ever made for a portable jack.

Don't look bad.

I got one of those jacks with my car, it took me forever to figure out that it wasn't missing and pieces. I'll never use it unless I have to.

Looks good, what size were the stock rims, though?

no shit that is the worst jack i have ever seen

LOL............

Anyway, AMAZING looking w/ those shoes on these. Its crazy what a nice set of wheels do for a vehicle. Mine was plain until I put the 22's on it.

Nice choice!!!

Take care, and no curb hopping!!!!!!!!!!

Those look good...I probably would have gone with a more aggressive offset, but since it isn't a sports car its doesn't ruin the stance or anything how it is

i saw that thread too imo i dont like those wheels. 22s in that wheel looks too ghetto tho it fills up the wheel well. thats an iffy wheel it looks too cheap to be on that car. nothing wrong with cheap rims as long as it doesnt look cheap. i already ordered h&r springs 1.1in drop in the back and 1.3in drop in the front so hopefully after that itll fill up the wheel well a bit but it looks good right now imo but bmw **** *** when it comes to brake dust. my wheels get smoothered in brake dust in about 2 days after a car wash so it looks like i have gun metal colored rims.
