Eibach springs and 469 wheels?

I'm really trying to avoid the expense of larger wheels and tires, so I'm wondering if I can make a few adjustments to make my 469s look a bit more aggressive.

Does anyone happen to have pics of a 469 wheels with Eibach springs and spacers? I'm wondering if closing the wheel gap by a bit and pushing them out slightly will make my eyes happy enough to keep the 20s. As it sits now, the wheels look a bit too small, IMO. The added benefit of less body roll would be a nice improvement as well. Thanks!

Might be what Timberwolf did in link above. I am adding the springs, no spacers - then Conti DWS going back on. Also added Racechip and BavAudio upgrade.

Perfect, thank you! It's amazing the difference that spacers make. I think I may start there.

Timberwolf, if you happen to see this, what size spacers did you use?

I was just coming back to say never mind since I found your post in the other thread. Looks really great. Have the springs improved body roll without being too firm? It looks like 15mm in the rear is plenty wide.

Yes, it improved body roll and improved the overall ride, I'd say better than stock.
I drive German winding two-lane roads at 60 - 70mph daily, so I was looking for something to reduce body roll and maintain a comfy ride, Eibach did the trick.
