    can i achive this? 5 star rims

    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.

    my car is pretty low on GC coils in front and springs in the back for some reason (p.o).. are my backs going to rub with springs? (friends g37 has springs all the way around and it sits FLUSH! no rubbing unlees 4 people are in his car. please let me know if this is possible. *edit* car has quite a bit of rear camber, a little front camber.

    You have a lot of reading/learning to do... You can run spacers to push the rim out towards the fender but you are better off going with a x9/10 rim with low offset ~10 with rubber band tires to achieve what you are looking for.

              You need to fix your car first. It looks like a rolling pile of shit.

                    you can always run spacers to make a wheel "flush".(that is what they do) - they "space-out" the wheel. what kind of question is that?

                    your e30 is not even close to being dumped enough to pull off a flush look.

                      listen to this guy.

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

                        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.

                            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.
