    New wheels, shadowline and rear headrests...

    New to me wheels, they are used 16x9 Cr7's with 215/40/16 Toyo T1s, I would rather have 225/45/16's but whatever these tires are pretty new, also did shadowline the right way, thanks for the write up Jordan, here are some pics...oh and rear headrests.

    Get 245's all around. Drop the front just a little. Then it'd be wicked hot. Looks great now, just too "euro"

      Love the wheels, looks really good. Not the biggest fan of undersized rubber. Stretched is ok, but undersized tyres always make the car look retarded from side on.

      What offset are those wheels, and are you running spacers? Any guard work?

        I bought these used with tires, they have about 90% tread left so I plan to get 225/45/16's next set, my car isn't as dropped as I would like it but this is my daily driver, offset is et15, I didn't want to run spacers but the fronts touched the strut housing, so 10mm spacers up front, 15mm out back, I rolled the hell out of my fenders last week, still need a little massaging though.

          beautiful ride. I agree the front should come down a hair in front. How about some close ups and interior pics

            225s will be fine. You would struggle to fit 245s on that car.

            and all I can say is DDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

                The front is definitely too high for my tastes but when I get 225/45/16's it will fill it in better, plus I like meatier tires on e30's, Andrew I think you should just take your car off the road and keep it, then we can work something out to get it lowered.

                  hot, just plain hot, i love those wheel, they would look better with your car slammed, but they look hot anyway, and dont rush meatier tires, those are fine, you'll have much more rubbing with meatier tires, they're fine, hot. :up:

                        I've always liked those wheels. Rear height suits your car well, front should be a bit lower.

                        Definately get some wider tires. I don't think 225's will cut it.

                          Nice looking wheels. Tear thought those tires as quick as you can and get some 225/45 or 245/40s on there.

                            And the pictures turned out great as well.
