Have a lot left. The pic of the front coilover is what I have it at so I have a lot left to lower. Maybe good 1.5"

Ok ladies and gents... good news! Will be ordering my CCW classics here in a week or two! Just making final decisions in on what color I want. I'm so tempted to do candy teal and chrome lip.

no spacers required! A lot of M3 guys have classics and dont need them so they think it'll be good.

So specs are:

18x9 +26 front 225/40/18
18x10 +20 rear 245/40/18 (maybe 235/40/18, we'll see)

Color: ??? gonna see if they still do the limited neo chrome riviets. It might sway me one way over the other.

I only ask about the spacers cuz i remember your ET 26 up front. I am running ET 25 up front on a 8.5" wheel and have pretty close clearances. I cant wait to see them mounted on your car! Ive wanted to see a w203 w/ classics for a while now :P (damn that vw influence)

understandable man... The Aeros spokes are designed differently in that they are more rounded instead of concaved to account for the larger calipers the part of the spoke closer to the lip was barely hitting the edge of the caliper. CCWs spokes are concaved so it allows for clearance of bbk.

I love the neo chrome rivets. They'd look great. You'd have to do Project Kics open-ended lugbolts, though.
