Eibach Pro Kit?

Hey guys, does anyone have any pics of the eibach pro kit installed on their car? I ordered the vossen cv2 and wondering if they will rub or if the pro kit is not as low as I would like for it to be.
Thanks

Rubbing will be deternind by the offset. Whats the offset?

Not sure what the offset is. I told the shop I bought it from that I did not want the wheels to stick out and he assured me he would select the offset that would be flush with the fender. Those rims are freaking expensive so he better get it right! I assume he knows what he is talking about.

That's the totally wrong way to buy wheels. Why put your hard earned money down for something you "Hope" is what you want? That seems just wrong to me. If they arrive and aren't what you wanted are you going to be mad at the salesman? I hope not because there are many factors to take into account when buying wheels and the sales guy probably doesn't know the answers to half of them. For example:
1. What look are you trying to achieve?
2. What size rims do you want?
3. How low are you going to be and do you plan to change that in the future?
4. Are you going to stretch tires or fit "normal" sized tires?
5. Are you looking to get a BBK in the future, if so you'll need to order a specific "disk" designation to make sure you have clearance for the brakes.
6. What offsets work for you with all other factors involved?
7. Are you willing to use spacers if need be to perfect the fitment?
8. Etc..........


To really properly figure out what your wheel needs are you should read a lot on here and look at a lot of pictures to get an idea of what set up you will need to achieve your goal. I'm not bashing at all just want to help you get exactly what you want. Let us know how they turn out. What wheels did you buy BTW? Type, sizes, offsets would be cool if you could share that info.

The rims I bought came out perfect and are exactly what I wanted. Don't know what kind of salesman u used before but I used a very reputable shop. The rims they order were the correct offset and no spacers were needed. I ordered the 20 x9.5 and 20x10.5 vossen cv2.

I've never used a salesman to buy rims, was just trying to make sure you had thought through all the aspects of wheel shopping. Congrats on your purchase and let us see some pics!! What offsets did they end up sending you?

not everyone hops on a message board to buy rims, the vast majority of the public goes to a shop and orders
if the salesman gets the offsets wrong , he can just easily exchange
