Hi all. After recent discussions with ZedConvert on another post which we inadvertantly hijacked I'm questioning whether my car could have been lowered slightly by a previous owner. Does anyone know the distance between the ground and the wheel arches front and back for a 23i with standard suspension?

I'll measure mine later and post it, it does look much higher than yours to the eye.
 
[ref]del_tl1000r[/ref], I've measured and mine is around the 680mm mark from floor to arch all round, give or take a few due to uneven ground).

That's on...
235/35/19 - 265/30/19

Not sure why yours fits the arches far better. :tumbleweed:
 
Hmmm........strange. Must just be the way the photo's are taken as that's almost exactly the same as mine. Maybe try taking it to a nice level car park and photograph it again, side on, at the same height I took mine and see how it looks :idunno:
 
Hi Del
just been out to the garage (nice flat surface) R: 670mm from floor to centre of wheel arch F: 670mm. Im running Goodyear Eagle F1's on my 326's - R: 255/35/19 F: 225/35/19
 
Cheers Rick :thumbsup: So yours is marginally lower than mine. I guess my car must be standard then. If you check here
you'll see why I was asking.
