17" KT1's anyone?

[91 318is]

So I'm rocking 16x9 KT1's now, but for some reason, I have a desire to get some 17" KT1's, anyone have any pics of some?

I know they're a few cars floating around on here that have them, anymore pics though?

I like the 16" KT1's on my car now, but I don't like how the 9 up front sticks out past the fender a little. Wonder if the 17's would do that? I like a lip too, do the 17's have enough? Should I stick with what I got?



Hahaha, I can't make up my mind to save my life!

You have camber plates, right? Just dial in some more.

Yeah, I'm about -2.25* right now, still a little much for me. I would like to pull the fenders, but just got the paint job so I'm really iffy about it.

Well how far are they sticking out? Pic's?

What size spacer are you running?

One's in DC? No, by time I got to the guy, he already sold them. Should have jumped on them faster.

I also bought some Ronal LS's, the guy told me that they were E30 specific, but when I got them, they were VW fitment with a 12mm spacers. I'm heading back up to NoVA to swap back with the guy.

Not much else to do to make them fit better then. The last thing you could do is get 318i strut housings, but that will only get you that 3mm back.

could I still run my Koni's or do I gotta get new struts? I actually plan on getting shorter struts for the front anyways so it might work out better that way.

[E30SPDFRK]

You would have to get different struts. The housing being smaller is what gives you the extra room.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe g60 struts fit right into them. You would still need to shorten the housings and get a spacer for the strut, but diameter-wise I think they are the same.

Last time I talked to GC, they get Koni to make shortened struts. Probably go with those. Maybe I'll just add a little more camber to the front. I dunno....

Anybody? Pics?

I've seen the Bronzit E30 and the black 4 door on E30tech, anymore?

I would say go staggered so that the front won't stick out so much.

Know the specs? They look awesome!

Another reason why I'm considering 17's is because right now, my skid plate/oil pan hangs pretty damn low, and I still want to go lower on the front, so doing that would just rip my skid plate off and destroy my oil pan. Only way I could keep 16's and slamming it more is running a 205/45, little taller so it will fill the fender well easier.


I've heard running staggered causing understeer, anyone experience it?
