Hi

I've just swapped the standard 14" BBS alloys of my 1994 318i Touring for some 17" Alpina reps and although they look the part, the car now sits very high and therefore I would like to lower the car so the arches fit around the wheels.

Just would like to know how far I can lower the car without the wheels rubbing and where can purchase the springs from?

Thanks for your help.

The best option would be touring specific ones

Failing that, Cabby ones do work on the tourers
I had a set on mine

They also happen to be for sale
