    Looks like you wheels will be a staggered setup. I'm I right? What are they?

      double staggered Borbet type Bs

      the thing is , i doubt it'll fit in the rear without flares. and i really don't know about the flares part....

      16x7 et30
      17*10 et20

      i saw one of my friends e30s, he has 17*9.5 et35 and it fit perfect. so mine will be poking out a lot it seems

        i mean regardless the car is going to spin no matter what we do.
        I have an excel spreadsheet I created to determine speed vs rpm. You can input gear ratios and tire diameters to determine which rear end is best.




        I am using a 3.73 and expect to be at 2,000 @ 70 mph. If you want I can email you the sheet.

            My car's still not on the road yet so I can't say. I have probably a week of solid work to get it drive-able.

              i have to get the bushings in, put the subframe back in, driveshaft, exhaust back on. relocate my oil filter. bleed brakes and slave and i should be done.

              then interior bits , carpet seats and all. which i have everything.

                      We are getting close. So close!

                      I have two lists I could work from -
                      1. the list that gets it driving
                      2. the lists that gets it done

                      The first list is tune, alignment, seats and belts
                      The second list is, looming the wiring, installing dash, strip sound deadening, install 4pt cage, paint interior, fix TOB leak, tune, alignment, Seats and belts

                        you can always try "pulling" the fenders.

                            Got em out. Thinking about hitting the subframe up with some acetone and cleaner and to respray it black.
                            Then to put the condor bushings in.
                            3.73 lsd will be going back on.
