Pic request: BMR or Eibach with 19" wheels - Page 2

RobZL1 · 03-04-2023, 08:13 AM

Were you the one that also had eibachs before the BMR's? If so, how much difference was there in height, approximately? Thanks for all the good info!

Going to get the new tires installed on the new GM 1LE rims in the next hour, this morning I pulled the rear driver fender to relocate the wiring harness just in case, and it was already relocated from factory(?). Maybe my car was meant to be a 1LE in production and they changed it or maybe they changed the wiring position in 2020 I'm not sure, but I'll post pictures of the outcome this afternoon.

Thank you! Can't wait to see it.

I only had BMR’s but couple local guys had Eibach and they sat a little lower in the rear over the BMR’s.

I'd be super interested to know if anyone has any info on the wiring harness on the rear drivers side. I know a bunch of "how to" videos and forums mention that, but I've not heard of anything changing with that. It would save me some time and sanity if you all have an update on that. If I can just slap some 325s on the back of my base ZL1 without issue, I might cry in joy

Here are a couple of pictures, it seems my front end has shifted for some reason so I’m trying to get that squared away on what the reason could be behind that, i will get some pictures out in the daylight tomorrow but here’s a couple with the stance right now.

Polo, it’s actually not that hard to do in your garage with some simple hand tools. The longest part of it all is just jacking up and removing the rear tire. Everything else is pretty easy.

Awesome, thank you!

Car looks awesome with that wheel. Sits higher than I expected with Eibach, but maybe that's something going on, like you said. Personally, I think that current gap looks really good to my eye!

The gap does look different than my BCForged wheels because those are a 20" and the 1LEs are 19s but I like the look of both....

I was able to remedy the camber issue with the passenger front, didn't realize it was that easy to adjust. But I'll be taking it into the local Chevy dealer for an alignment this week to have them look everything over.

Glad you got it squared away. Stinks that the adjustment point uses TTY bolts, though. Minor PITA, I guess, but a PITA nonetheless.
