and i guess thats the difference between you and me. :up:

[ToPLeSS(e30)FeinD]

so skid plate is coming in and fenders will be dealt with in response to what happens with the wheels, but thats where i need help.

The options are between wide (really wide), simple and done before but clean, or just change it all up completely and get into the ACS game or something...

Post your input now! every vote matters..

Go big or go home...

what skid plate you goin with?

[einstein57]

I think you should put on my 17x10s and go from there as far as fitment. 5" of lip not enough?

I couldn't vote for one... I DO like Nigel's input(10 inch in the rear is FAT)

funny... im actually trying to go with the A's and get a shop to widen them, if i can get the lips widened then there we go but the idea is that i get the middle man (adapters) out of the equations... and still get fitment.. but the people say otherwise... we'll see

On my radar.

17x10 somethings

My blunt but rather honest input:
People who voted for 17x12 are either fu*kin brain dead or they just want to see you fail miserably.
Why is that? Because 17x12 size on an E30 is flat out impractical if you ask me.
Maybe M3s can pull it off with the right offset and rubber / minor body work.
I recommend 17x9 Rear, 17x8 Front, whatever the wheels they may be.

Below is Karlspackler's M3 on 17x10 rears, and it is pretty much the limit.

For reference, below is what 17x10 and 17x12 Looks like. They are cCWs, staggered setup.

^^ I don't think you know how Shawn's brain works.

ya the 12 rear setup is an idea that lasted a few weeks longer then it should have, just sounded crazy, and thats kinda the theme im going with on this car. i had 17x8 17x9 stagger until about yesterday, but i need something a bit more aggressive, and my setup had adapters.. and im getting tired of them.. just want to see if people have an input, thanks for the pics though. i love spacklers M3, didnt he sell it though?

I voted 17x12 without thinking about it enough. Do the Borbet A's because that's what i'm getting in a couple months. I'd be interested to see what tire size you run and how the fitment is.

in all honesty A's have been my dream setup for a year or so but i figured it was played out, thus widening the rears. get fitment, wide rears and i love A's. emailed a guy on BFC, waiting for a response, LET ME KNOW IF YOU GUYS HAVE A SET.. might put a WTB thread..

I liked the 17" you had. But again, i can see why you hate adapters.
Going with higher offest wheels with no adapters/spacers (ET45 range or so) can accommodate wider lips. That is what you should do. Deep dish goes really well on E30 verts.
