Car looks good would it rub with 305's? Also what spacers are you on?
I am on ECS Tuning spacers. Love them, I used ECS spacers on my M3 prior. They are model specific hub centric, so perfect fit, no vibration and you can order as a set with extended lug bolts.
As for running 305's, can't speak from personal experience, if on oem rear wheel specs (19x11, et 67), there should be room for 305's w. a max 15mm spacer. Anything beyond this, and you will most likely rub.
I personally think that running 305's in the rear, while running 235's in the front is too much discrepancy visually and performance-wise (understeer). If you do, run 245's in the front.
That looks good. I might have to do similar; I really like the "lobster claws" and see no reason to get aftermarket wheels at this time.
thanks for replying for me so that I didn't have to go digging myself
yes, I was running H&R with 10mm front and 15mm rear spacers from ECS in that picture. I later switched to AG M510 in Dolphin Grey which were better fit and did NOT require the use of the spacers and therefore I sold them.
If you'd like more pics, OP, PM me.. I have plenty.

EDIT- fwiw, those are factory Lobster's which I had Plasti Dipped in Anthracite Gray Metallic.
My C2 lowered on Tech Art springs with 5mm front and 15mm rear spacers. I considered new rims as well (Forgestar CF10s and/or Carrera Sports) but once I saw the car lowered, the Lobby's seemed to come alive to me. Sticking with them now. I'd suggest you wait and decide on rims after you lower. For sure you will need spacers however - you can always sell them later if your new rims don't require them. Cosmetically, lowering transforms the car IMO. I look at old pictures of mine now and cannot believe how high it sat...
I purchased my car a few weeks ago and before taking delivery I came to this thread. The day of taking possession I ordered the H&R springs and 5mm and 15mm spacers, as well as f/r Depo/Dectane LEDs. Couldn't be happier.
Not really what you are looking for, however, here is mine lowered with Eibach's for a comparison.
There are different model Eibach from what I remember, which one are these? It looks like your car does not sit as low as other members' using H&R, which is a good thing in my opinion.
