Sorry for the bad angles of side pics... its not as outboard in person (I agree with you i didnt want that skateboard look)
Have recieved many compliments on the look. those pics were also fresh down from being on jacks. Stock Suspension has settled since. but thank you for your compliment. and now we know the size will work on Stock none lowered suspension.

 

FYI, here is what mine looks like with 18.8 et42 and 235/40 R18, on ~2" drop.

 

I might put a 5mm spacer on the back, just to make it look like the same width as the front. There seems to be more width in the rear fender than in the front.

 

That looks Awesome.... What Suspension and hows ride? any thing on suspension you would improve? I'm looking for a Coil over setup.

 

Your Front Wheels sit out to the fender as all 4 of my Wheels and Tire setup When I lower it I will have the camber adjusted for correct wear and clearance. Keep up the good work on yours .. I'm liking it.


Awaiting Lowering Kit :-D

 

Thanks! I came a cross an awesome deal on some slightly used KW V3's. Just rear control arms, otherwise. I don't think I'll need camber plates, but we'll see what happens.

My tires fit just inside the fender, where it looks like your fenders seem to be a bit over the tread. So, I'd be wary about how much drop I put on it. I rub on the fenders every now an then under hard cornering. I also have since raised the front about 1/8 inch to reduce that. Prior to that, it was rubbing a lot on hard corners.

This is the second set of KW's I've had, once before on a Bimmer I had. I like them a lot. Give a great, tight feel but not harsh in any way. Now I've never driven on any other CO's. So, I can't say how they are different.

I wish KW made the V1's for the R60, though. I don't need V3's, much more suspension that what is necessary for me. But I got them at the price of the V2's. So, it was hard to argue against it.

 

I have BMW type 342 on mine. 34 and 37 offsets. 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear

 

This is my 2014/15 Countryman S on Rotiform KPS 19x8.5 with +35 offset. Tyres are 225/40/19 and it lowered.

 

How low did you go? and what kit did you use and hows the ride quality and performance?

 

Thanks for the info. i really like how yours looks and i will take your advice and get the KWs and carefully calculate the amount i can lower mine. especially with my wheel and tire config. i like things to work properly myself

 

Just additional photos for 34 or 35 offset on an R60. Set up is 225/45 18x8 ET34 5x120, OZ Allegrita HLT with Michellin Primacy MXM4 MOE on stock suspension. I think the key is to keep the width tight so that it doesn't stick out much, if that's the look you're aiming for, i.e. 225 and 8" width. Quite happy with it, beefier but not too beefy look.

 

What's up dude, what are you lowered on? Getting the same wheels and wanna know if you run at all and how they drive.

 

I am planning to put exactly the same sized wheels on my CMS.
Did you had to do any rework on the fenders to make them fit and if not, is there any rubbing?

 

18x8.5 et35 with 245/40-18 tires.

Camber is pretty conservative, -2 up front and -1.5 rear.


Wide fenders kit adds 0.75" to each side.
