It looks as if your neighbours might get jealous

Looks awesome!!!!
So with your OEM wheels you have 20mm clearance against the front coilover?
Thats great news, my Speedline wheels are 18x8 et45, which sit 3.7mm closer to the strut compared to the OEM wheels, so this is good news for me, as I thought I would need to get a spacer!
What tyre size did you go with for your Team Dynamic wheels? I have 205/40 18 on my Speedlines (same as OEM 18's)
Your car looks great!
How hard is the rear to adjust? Can it be done on the car, or do you need to remove the rear spring?

20mm clearance with the TD Imola 8x18 ET35
i use Michelin SuperSport 215-40/18, 215 because i would like to have a tyre protector for the wheels, and keep confort compared to 35.
The rears are hard to adjust because :
The left you have not enough place but you can do it but be patient ! lol
and for the right you need to disassemble a plastic pieces to have accessIt's not difficult but need to remove the wheels it's easier for the lowering.
for ascend the rear you can do it with the spring on the car but only to the half of the ring after it become harder and it's easier to do without the spring.
But if it's for a lowering you can do it with the springs easely. -
TheFunky : They know me lol !
My last car before the Mini --->
I sold her because it was costing me too much taxes here in Belgium,
because in Belgium we have to pay a lot of taxes with 3liters and too much CO2/GRkm.Then with a broken heart i chose the mini and finally i'm happy with her !

18x8 ET 45 sits nearly 4mm closer to the strut than the OEM rims, so if there is not at least 5mm space with your current set up, maybe a spacer will be still needed??

Yes it was an 530d with 35d exaust ! Great car
Yesterday the front was a little bit down but today i have raised it to be perfect
R99, with the OEM 17" i've got about 10mm clearance for the front but forgot to verify the rear clearance :o
but sure you don't need spacers with 18" and KwFor my ET35 the guy can do nothing .. then i've contacted Team Dynamics for have a set of ET45 (they sent me ET35 in place of ET45, but i tried it before in case it fit).
Some pictures : ( i precise that i didn't use brushes Lol just water pressure to rinse the car).

Thanks for the info!!
The car looks great!! Its a shame the TD's do not work, maybe they would with 205/40 tyres?? I have 205/40 Michelin Pilot Super Sport on my Speedlines and the tyre is not too stretched
if if you have about 10mm with the OEM rims, then that should mean about 6mm clearance with ET45
