Following on from my photoshop request last week I went ahead with these.

19" Axe EX14 with 235/35 and 265/30 tyres.

They fill the arches out much better, infact I'm hoping not too much when I have a bit more weight in besides me (meaning the wife) :P

Looks good. Is it lowered?


Yes lowered on eibachs.

They are the easiest wheels to clean which I have ever had, I can get to the back of the wheel through the spokes so no more of a clean face and gungy backs.
Just need some new shiny discs and painted callipers.
 
On the eibachs does that make it lower again than the msport suspension on the 3.0i?
What offset is yours on? I'm going order my wheels end of this month and i thought 235/35 on msport et40 would need a 5mm spacer and it still might rub or is that not the case?

Must admit the whole wheels bit is totally new for me lol the thought of dropping a grand on wheels for them to have fitting issues is not a pleasant thought

do you run the same tyre pressure as before btw or is it different for the 19 staggered setup?
(apologies using you as a guinea pig a bit here)

looks well though :D

Can't help you on the Msport suspension question, sorry.
The offsets are Front 35 and rear 38.
The smaller the offset, the further the wheels stick out. I wouldn't want to go any smaller than that. Mine just clear the arches and I've had no rubbing.

I must admit the 235 and 265 tyres do seem a little stretched, there is no rim protection on the wheels.
 
Think it was et40+spacers i was going for and that makes it 35 if i'm right lol

is the stretching down to the width of the rim you have for those tyres then? (8.5 at the front i guess)
