Just a simple question !

Hey guys im new here, i just recently sold my e46 m3 and should have my evo by next week. I just have a quick question that im hoping some of you can answer. My first mod to the evo will be a nice set of coilovers, now i noticed on alot of evos when lowered the wheels kind on go in the fender. What would i need in order for the rim and tire to sit flush with the fender. For the bmw they made wheel spacers to poke the wheels out a lil more. I just want the car to have a more aggressive stance instead of looking like my wheels are tucked in. Thanks for all the help

The sunken-in wheel look is an issue of wheel width and offset and not of coilovers. Last I checked, there are wheel spacers for Evo's too.

Why is your first mod a set of coil-overs?

it all depends on your wheel width, offset, and alignment. alignment on a lowered vehicle is key

coilovers is a great first mod, sorry i dont want to touch the engine right away. I also like my car to be a little lower and like having full adjustability rather then throwing on a set of springs and calling it a day..
