I got the ESR wheel in and did a quick test fit on the front passenger side.

I kept the same 10mm spacer on the hub from when the 9.5" APEX were installed. Meaning the setup is 285/30-18x10" et15.

I love the little poke that it has although it can't turn at full lock because it hits the rear part of the frame rail, the front will be taken care of with a tube frame. The two options I can think of off the top of my head are:

• Space it out ~10mm more and trim the fender and skirt to clear the wheel being turned
• Notch the frame somehow ~10mm to allow me to go full lock on a 10" wheel and not chop up my body panels

Anyways, onto the pictures. The closeup with the greaseball on the wheel is how close I am to the fender and skirt.

Nomnom. Can't wait to see the body all done. 18s don't look too big at all compared to some 17s on regular-bodied e30s.

I'm liking that wheel. Doing those all the way around?

[DER E30]

How much would you have to shave off the rail/back of the fender to clear?

I feel like if you have to have a lot it would be better to notch the frame and have smooth body panels.

i know! i was all worried about the 'donk' look but i love how this wheel looks.

the plan is to run these at first and then turn them into the street set when i can afford apex/r compounds

that's what i'm thinking too, i'm gonna stack some spacers up and see how far it needs to go OUT to clear the frame rail, then i know how much i'll need to take off the frame rail to clear lock to lock. the fender/skirt is already filed down a bit but i don't really want to chop it up but the fact of fitting meaty rubber on the front is more important than looks lol

widebody has been sold... my feelings are indifferent.

it's so sad and naked, i need to get it rolling now.








although, i'm not entirely sure what the future holds for this project.

- make it wider & properly finish the build, for about $20k

- make it wider & tame down the build, for about $11k

- get an E9xM3 for daily/hpde after i graduate next may for ~$35k


all options are expensive.
the M3 could be driven every day and still taken to a couple track days/autox events
the E30 would be driven maybe 20 days a year but be a god damn riot to drive

i have some thinking to do..

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Just tame it down and get it done. Been a shelf for to long haha

[TeXJ]

O.O not the wide body :'(

Well, i say tame the e30 build and then you can use that as the track/every day driver.

well, 'tamer' still includes a roll cage so it won't be daily driven. i'm not about all that fuhraze, i drive with a cage on the street bs.

i still have my euro s52 dd to have fun with on the streets as well. it's this car that has become an amazing daily driver that has given me the idea to shoot for more in a daily, a la E9xM.


I guess I should clarify what tame entails;
stock e36m brakes instead of custom wilwood bbk
t56 instead of tko600rr & tilton race clutch
stock axles instead of CATuned
stock diff instead of triple clutch refresh
simple VDO gauges instead of DASH2PRO
ESR wheels instead of ARC8s
cheaper tires instead of R888s
cheaper paint instead of fancy zinno

It would essentially just tone it all down for a more simple phase but part of me really really wants a V8 M3 car to drive around and then come back to this project after a year or two.

[TeXJ]

I'd say get it driving as soon as you can. The more it sits in the garage the less affection you'll have for it, thus losing interest. I like your tone down list and that should get you going. Then as time/money allows, add the better parts.

but selling the body kit... :'(

[TeXJ]

Oh and I dont know if I could take a real m3 and put a v8 in it. I'd rather take a regular e30 and add the body kit to it.

that's just me...oh and I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

That $12k could be a good down payment on e9xM as well. The thing wanting me to pause is the fact idk what will happen when I graduate, I am thinking I will be relocated with my current company or offered a better position elsewhere and if that happens I can just put the E30 into storage until life has settled down and I won't have $xxxx worth of parts just sitting around waiting for me. I'll never lose motivation for this car lol it will just have times where life slows it down.

As far as body kit. Not many know but this is the plan, I talked to Pesch about making a wider M3 kit for me and this is what they came up with 😀

By V8 M3 I meant e9x lol

This is what you should of done all along. remember dude phases. get that bitch on the track and start adding new shit every season. This car deserves to be hooned.
