Correct ratio of Rims to Springs?

G16 · 06-17-2020, 05:39 PM

Hi all,
Looking to buy an X4 F26 in Sophisto grey, but struggling to understand if certain models have better clearances in the wheel bays for larger rims and lower springs (I assume X4 3.0 M Sport already with 20" rims is suitable). I know you need to get the balance right with tyres and spacers to ensure no rub on full steering lock and no impact over bumps with heavy loads.
Has anyone got photos and advice of their motor having the right balance that just sits right with larger rims and lower springs?
Here's an edited (3-stage) image of what I think I want to achieve, lowered on 21" velos D7's
Thanks in advance for any advice!

This one seems to sit well. Any suggestions as to what size rims and drop it might be?
