Here are a couple of crappy camera phone pics.

More details to come when I get my camera back (SD card stuck inside)

I'm far from done as there is too much front wheel gap for my tastes. And I am not sure how much farther out I can push the rear wheel out before it starts to rub the inner fender lip.

Had a 10mm spacer back there and it pushes the wheel too far out. Any spacer suggestions for a 225/45/16 rear tire setup? 4-5mm? I'm having them custom cut.

As I told Levent... I do great work to ex's 8)

you dont see that sort of rim selection very often on an e30, yet it works well. i see you have the headlight wipers on there. did you steal it from a 5 series?

tech 1, euro bumpers, and a hard top... looking good... a nice set of RS1's and you would be set...

Did you by any chance get those wheels off of a black 325es?

Looks great, I love that tire size on e30s.

Are you interested in letting go of the 10mm spacers?

I am on 16x7.5 ET20 running 205/45R16s, and i can accomodate 10mm of spacers.

There is a guy called Mystikal on r3v that is a wheel fitment guru out of Toronto. He should be able to help you out.

I don't know where the wipers came from as all the rare parts inside and out came with it. I purchased the car from a user of R3vlimited in New Jersey.

Came off a bronzite e30 and before that is was on a VR6 Jetta. Only one of 2 sets I have seen.

They will be available for sale. There were 205/40/16 on the 16x8 before and I didn't care for the stretch. It was down to a 215 or a 225 and I decided to just run with a 225/45/16 and keep the speedo accurate. I was surprised that the sidewall was shorted than I imagined.

I couldn't stand the wheel gap so I had the coilovers installed and ride height set.

I had the boys at Blitzkrieg do the swap as I don't have the tools or the space to do the work.

Might give them a call or hit up Cheyne on the site for any tips.

Thanks!

I am a bit OCD when it comes to the stance of the cars I have.

Just watch for manhole covers...

[MC Hammered]

I have a skidplate that will be put on soon.

DAMN YOU! Now I miss my cabrio! Why didn't you put the rear shocks I gave you. It had the IE Rear shock mounts on them.

[MC Hammered]

The cabrio already had Rouge Engineering shock mounts on the Bilsteins so I left them in place.

I will probably use them on the other cabrio when I upgrade those shocks... the stock ones seem to be dying.
