Thumbs down Help me choose my Rim Set-up

I am not going to get Coil Overs just yet but what springs do you think will fit this set up the best?







Or I could go this route and not touch the Front fender and do an Eibach spring

F-17x8 +47 Tires: 215/45/17 Dunlop Direzza Star Specs
R-17x9 +44 Tires: 245/40/17 Dunlop Direzza Star Specs

Camber: F -1.0, R -2.2

Lowered 1" on Tein S-techs. No fender work in front, minor rolling on the rear and removed bumper tabs.







I am leaning towards the Blue setup, except on Espelirs and maybe 255's in the back what do you guys think? Also the Blue cars setup will not require me to mess with the front fenders

BTW Mine will be Gloss Black on an 04 BB

I really like the stance onthe red one alot! I'm assuming its 17x9 et44 all around?

The blue setup looks great too, and it is much easier to work with in terms of dealing with fenders and stuff. I'd probably go with the blue one because of this, and then if/when I get bored with it down the road I'd do the fender work and go for 9" fronts.

Concave all around is just sexy.

yeah the Red is 17x9 +44 all around, I am leaning towards the Blue one as well, Gloss Black wheels, now I am wondering if I should do Tein's (1inch) or maybe Espelirs which is a little more.

Does anyone know if the Espelirs make the back sit lower then the front I hate that I will be doing 255's in the back I think as well
