^^ Agree with above.
Massive Lee's templates can be found here for wheel fitting:

I'm interested if/when this happens. Sub'd. Hyper silver 17x8.5 square set slightly concave would be awesome, as long as it fits lees kits.

Agreed. The single biggest reason I made the jump to 17s was BBK clearance. If these won't clear one (preferably ALL) of lee's kits, then I'm out.

[mrcheezle19]

Would be nice if he or someone sent a CAD of a BBK. I assume most of us our running some sort of BBK and it would be nice to know that they will clear.

Massive Lee may have a CAD drawing of the stock assembly. His email is massivebrakes@gmail.com

Your help is needed for concave!

Ok fellas, to speed things along does anyone have a CAD drawing of the factory front brakes? We need this to confirm proper front concave fitment. If you have this it would greatly speed things along.

I'll have some renderings for you guys soon :pimp:

What do you guys think about 17x8.5 ET20 concave? It could look like this, but would be 4 lug:




Requirements:
-Roll fenders for meaty sizes, like 235/40-17

-Stretch 215/40-17 for a nearly direct fit

Note for you guys building track and big speed projects: any tire beyond a 235 in the front usually contacts the fire wall; yes even on an E30 M3. The fender is NOT the issue. If you we're building a bad ass E30 and wanted 245s for example, you would need adjustable front lower control arms to move the wheel and tire assembly forward, but then any size wheel that would support a 245 will likely need this too.

Absolutely, am keen for this!

Might be in

[mrcheezle19]

I'm in for silver or a slightly darker gun metal. Definitely want concave as well 17x8 or 17x9 would be perfect.

[MrCooperS]

Was diggin' up previous photos. I definitely would love to go for the concave look.

I'm diggin' the silver color - bronze is a bit too Japanese looking for my Alpine White E30. Hoping for a more anthracite/gun metal look!

Still in for a set!

[cleanasse30]

diggin the bronze!

[chondamx]

17x9 in #3 puhrease!

[ian e30 318is]

Digging #3 (Silver/Anthracite) the most but #2 (Bronze) is rad too. Never been a fan of gold and the red is a little bright for my taste. Cool ideas regardless.

[AusScare]

mmm bronze/gold could be cool for the alpine white coupe.

We're working on some sample colors, and photos of the samples so you can get that much closer to imagining a finished product.

We're still working on some more bronze, blue and other colors as well. What do you guys think so far?

These images show both the high, and low lights of many of the colors. Taken in daylight, and corrected to make them as accurate as possible:cheers:
