Process for the new Rims
 

I`m gonna buy new rims ( not these days maybe 2 mnths later) but before buying rims i have to do something for my car, suspensions, coil overs etc wat is the process for the 17``es rims because i dont wanna my car looks like a crab.. ( it has to be lower and not looks like a flying)

I`ve used search button elchicano318ti :)

Seriously? I typed "suspension" into the search and got pages and pages of results. Please search more.

Coilovers, cup kits, spring and shock combos, its all out there. You can also search over on bimmerforums.com, just make sure that whatever suspension you find is compatible with the ti's unique rear suspension set-up. It is not the same as the E36 coupes and sedans.

Spidertri i didnt tell you i couldnt find something. Everybody is saying different things thats why i am asking alright?

and thank u for the information.

I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. What would you like to know?

Typically the "rule" is that the gap should be smaller than or equal to the profile of the tire.

You'll have to measure the current gap then figure out how tall your sidewall will be, then get springs that will remove however much of the gap you need to.

You'll also need new struts or they'll be shot within a week.

Spidertri i dont wanna performance parts etc...

I just wanna put 17`` rims for this car. 17`` rims are big for the stock 318ti.

What r the steps for best looking.. Am i clear now?

aceyx thank you for your informations.. (thats what i want)

I'm confused as well. But i hope i answer your question. It's better to get some H&R sport springs with blisteins struts, as the stock ones will not work with these springs. Depends if you want the rake look you wont have to lower your rear. But i would check to see if the shocks or springs need replacing. If you wanna lower your rear as well you will have to buy a kit that inclues the set up for the rear. You have to get them for the Ti since they are not the same as the coupe/sedan. Blisteins and H&R springs are the best way to go.

If you want coilovers i would go with ground control. They are more expensive then the H&R springs. Also don't cut your springs as this is the bad way of doing this. I would say save up your money and buy something that has good quality.

another option would be to buy the stock springs off of a sport model ti, it will lower the car about an inch or so, and be cheaper since you won't need to replace your shocks if they're still good

Yeah, if you just want the look and not drop a lot of money, the sport model springs would be the way to go.

Thank you very much for your answers. Now i have to check out prices first.
