Spacers on style 95s?

[amschnellsten]

What size rear spacers are you guys running with style 95s? I have 15mm on the front just to clear my coil overs but I want to space the rear out.:D

I think the back could use 25mm spacers.

why? With a drop, you'll have to roll the fenders.

+1 Why?

I can at least put a 15mm or 20mm spacer on the rear without rolling the fender. I am running coil overs and the way the suspension is designed on these the lower you go the more negative camber you end up with when static, so basically my rear tires are tucked in more when standing still than cars with stock, eibach, ect. Here is a pic but it is hard to tell. I will take another one to show it better. I guess I need to know if anyone is running style 95s with coil overs instead of stock or just lowering springs.

Well, sure.. If your car is knock-kneed like some paraplegic.

I like the look of evenly lowered. I just want to space out the rear to match the fender line. I can raise the rear back up to Hill billy but I like the stance now.

amschnellsten your ride looks sick! I just have one question and I dont mean to hijack a thread, but the rear wheels appear to be lower than the front. I thought that my shocks were worn or something because my rear sits lower as well and I am running all stock setup. Are all E38's sit lower in the rear? Thanks and again sorry for being off topic.

[nah2323]

no, actually the car sits level almost always. If you use most of the drop kits out there, typically the rear is a little bit higher than the rear, but only noticeable from the side view looking at the side skirts against the ground.

I think what I meant was that the gap between fender and a wheel is diffrent in the rear than in the front. I will take a picture tomorrow to show what I mean. I should probably start my own thread.

The best way to understand which size spacer you need, is to simply measure from the top outside edge of your tire to the inner lip of you fender. This will give you the best idea on how much size you have to work with, and to decide on how much your wheels need spaced.

Once you know that let us know and I will be able to recommend which size will be the best fit for your application.

Here is a diagram that might help as well.

This is with no spacers, dropped so the tire fender is just less than a centimeter lower than the top of the tire...oh yeah, and I was turning left into my driveway, causing my back right wheel to tuck as much as mechanically possible.
