Default New BMR Springs and C5 Wheels

Just fitted new BMR Lowering springs and C5 wheels, They are genuine C5 wheels so think i might need spacers, they need to come out a bit, what do you think?
I was worried the ride might be too hard but i'm impressed with the BMR springs, it's like a different car now!

Can i space the front just a little? I think 1" is too much spacing for the front but cant find any other spacers

IF they are stock C5 wheels (17x8.5, 58mm offset fronts, 18x9.5, 65mm rear), then you can safely run a 1" spacer/adaper front and rear with out issue. The fronts would then have a 33mm offset which works well with a wheel that is only 8.5" wide - the rears would be 40mm which, again, is almost perfect for a 9.5" wheel. Again IF they're stock C5 wheels...

The car definitely has a nice stance and it may settle a touch more over time. The nice thing about the BMR lowering springs is that they give the cars a nice stance without sacrificing too much ride quality or ground clearance. We are glad you are happy with your BMR parts!
