    interesting, I like these rims. Thank you.

    *also someone mentioned the four door isn't helping my Flush look. why is this ? *

    MaxBell: you have a amazing set up!

    A. Ok, please stop using the word hellaflush so much.

    B. 15x7s will not be wide enough to stretch on. Youll want an 8 at least depending on the type of fitment you're after

    C. Next, clean up your car. Great fitment doesn't excuse a shoddy car.

    D. Don't listen to the guy giving you exact numbers for how to "stance" a car. If it becomes formulaic, it becomes boring.

    I tried to post this but my computer died half way through so I'll post it again.


    Welcome to R3VLimited.com and the world of E30s!

    I like your enthusiasm, I think that the guys here just want to redirect it to the important things.

    You need to understand that you're driving a 25+ year old car. With that comes a pile of responsibilities. Getting low should not be your first priority; you should be getting the car looking complete and running well.

    I drove my white 1987 4 door 325i completely stock for about 8 months until I got some lowering springs, new shocks and some wider wheels.

    Here's a fun list of the shit you need to go do if you want that car to run. It may last a year, it may last a month; address all these things and your car has a better chance of nothing going wrong. Plus then you'll know your car inside out, and believe me, that's valuable. You don't want to have your car overheat and have to get towed over a hose falling off your rad.

    Are you ready for the fun list?

    Here it is... http://e30world.com/Maintenance/BMW-...nance-Schedule

    You need to take that list and do EVERYTHING on there. (unless you KNOW it's been done in the recent history). Inspection II will hopefully hash out all the issues with the car.

    Once that is done, start updating shit. Make sure any wear items (bushings, gaskets, bearings, brake pads, etc) are addressed and functioning.

    ONCE ALL THAT IS DONE...you may chase getting low. You will need 16" or 17" rims with low sidewall tires. NOT 195/65, but rather 195/35. Collect photos of the cars you like, that are H3LL4FLU5H B1TCHEZZZZ!!! See what you like on your car and what looks you don't. Then get to work.



    But you don't need to think about all that too much until you at least have trim on your plastic bumper swap.

    Happy Driving! And PM me if you have any more questions. Stupid asshat like questions will not go unpunished on here.

    this. your car looks like it shouldn't be in the road in the condition that its in, and the fact that it has two extra doors isn't helping your "helaflush" look.

    okay, so im into the HellaFlush thing. i want to have my tire tucked and flush with my fender. I could spend $400 dollars and get steelies that are out there of get normal 5 star rims(15x7, tires that have low sidewall and stretch if possible) for about the same price. My question is... is it possible to run spacers to be hellaflush? is the cheating? lol. <HellaFlush police.
    Found your main problems.

    hahahaha jimmy. to the OP, you have a LOT of research to do, so read up before you make any moves. you're not going to be able to pull off that look with a 7inch wide wheel, no matter what style. Look around at what setups people are running, and use that as a basemap to start.

    buy 10 inch rear wheel in et 20
    buy front 8.5 wheels in et 12
    put a 215/45 or 245/35 rear
    put 205/40 on front
    dial it in, if you dont have camber plates, GL.

    listen to this guy.

    & your new 5 star rims don't look that great.
