With respect, avoid all speed bumps and pot holes if you do that. You might be pretty close to having battery damage, or worse...
With respect.
With respect.
The vehicle is already lowered and running stock diameter tires with no problems..
Thanks for the input though!
To add a little context - the vehicle is lowered 1" on the Eibach Pro springs. I realize there is a lot of back and forth on the "correct" way to lower a vehicle - I made the decision knowing full well the pros and cons of lowering and of choosing springs over a full coilover kit. I have built a LOT of vehicles over the years - mostly lifted trucks, of which I still own and maintain several.
It's a 2023 M3LR with the 19" sport wheels. Currently I'm running 20/25mm spacers on stock wheels, effectively having a +20/+15 wheel offset. I was hoping to see the aesthetics of a +30 offset with a little more sidewall. I've seen this with 18x9.5 wheels running a 265/40 tire and it looks great, was hoping to get a visual of the minor differences with a narrower tire and a slightly more positive offset.
I've had no issues with the lowered vehicle so far. It's not a primary vehicle and is more of a city commuter for us. We have several cars. This one makes a 70 mile daily trip that is 95% highway and then the occasional weekend running kids to soccer games or heading into the city for.. whatever.
I didn't mean to sound rude or short in me previous response - just spit out a quick response between other tasks. I truly do appreciate the input but would LOVE to see pictures of someone running this or a similar setup.
