Commenced fitting spacers

I had been thinking for a long time that the front wheels sit too far under the arches on the E39, you can really see it from some angles.

After a lot of debate I finally decided to go ahead & got one side done so far, have attached comparison pics, I took my time as it was also an opportunity to clean & seal the wheels properly, clean & seal the arches, & paint the calipers & hubs.
I went with 15mm Eibachs, I won't be able to do the nearside for another couple of weeks or so, so haven't been able to drive it yet to see if there are any issues with rubbing on the rears, hopefully get away with as it's not lowered.

Nearside not done:


Offside - Done:


Some more..




Needless to say, they look better in real life, the fronts fill the arches much better & car looks to have more of an aggressive stance, even without lowering

Haven't driven it yet Andrew as have only done one side so far.

I'm not 100% sure if they won't rub on the rear arch but I can just fit 10mm spacers there if that happens.

Just fitted 5mm Eibach spacers to my E36 after the coilovers went on ... seem to be fine, but I actually remembered to get longer wheel bolts to compensate to.

Havent heard that abot Eiback spacers,but might be different for cars with more power.
