So how much bodywork do you think i will need to fit this...

[bad_azz_bmr]

16x10 in the rear and i will be installing 225/45/16 KDW 2's

They stick out about an inch as it sits right now, i dropped them on a block about the same height as the final tire will sit, so this is as much camber as i have at the moment.

I bolted this setup with a set of 25mm adapters, and i know adaptec makes a set of 18's,, so i could potentially reduce the poke by 7mm (1/4")...

How much bodywork do you think i will require to get these to work....

pulling? or major quarter panel rebuilding?

A lot. You can get that tire size to fit on a 10 on an e30, but not with that offset.

its easy all you need is a widebody kit. Just ask Sinner88 he has 13" wides on the back with 315's I believe.

Well w/ that much stretch you should be close but you will definitely need to pull the fenders, or maybe run flairs. Plus it depends how low you are going to go...

Looks like you need a M3 body kit.

For sure. will also mean you can make the most of the 10" wide wheel and run a decent tyre on it instead of gaymax stretch. A little stretch is okay, but a 215 on a 10" rim is just ridiculous

it is a 225/45 not a 215

and it is a KDW 2 which is alot wider than most 225 tires, it is pretty damn close to the toyo t1r 245/35

Thanks for the useful information unlike others on this post.

I will not be going extremely low, attached is link to some pics from last summer with 17's and I am not changing the suspension, I might take out the spring pads and thats about it.

I had 225/45/16 kdw2's on 16x9.5's and it was quite stretched and very short. Very round sidewall. I'll post pics later when I get home.

As for fitment without widebody forget it. Car looks nice leave it alone
