This is what stance these e92 m3 wheels give on ebaichs.! As you can see compared to the standard m3 alloys this i would say stick out a good inch and a half more at the front. Im not running no spacers either.

I was thinking of fitting spacers,- but do they affect the handling?

They widen the wheelbase so should improve handling.

I can see you are all really into this stuff, and I can respect that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I dont get it.. why would you want to make your car look like the suspension is broken?

Best post ive read in ages mate.

TBH as you say its down to the individual but to the majority it looks better having a wider track and little or no gap between the arches and the tyres and to some it looks as though the suspension is broken

I wouldnt say it was stanced, but then theres a few on this thread that dont really meet the propper criteria!

Hopefully it will look better with the Estoril, LM's and coilovers in my latest M3
