    Adaptec 18mm front and 20mm rear. 205/45/16 and a good roll all around. There is some slight rubbing at full lock but its doable

        spooledtt, are you lowered? looks like it. I'm trying to avoid doing any fender rolling if I go with adapters.

            Don't think you'll be able to pull that off.

                  Longest wait of my life...well maybe not, but fuck these adapters are taking there sweet ass time to get to my house. I finally got an email with a ups tracking number on friday. I kept checking the number and finally today it said a shipping label has been printed!

                  Crossing my fingers for a friday delivery....

                      Yeah it might have been obvious but in his posting he did not specify being lowered on coilovers. Who knows he could have had cement bags in the rear seats or trunk. Im an engineer so you can't always just assume.

                      Regardless, I'd like to see the stance once slowe34 puts them on.

                        Those adapters are a dick load of cheese. I would really like a set though, I could run the most perfect ever wheel for the e30. The e38 weave.

                          Im assuming "dick load of cheese" equates to a lot of money, but the way I see it is that I have 400 in adapters and 90 in the wheels. So for the low low price of 490 dollar bills, I will have a set of sexy ass 16 inch weaves.

                          I just dont see a lot of other wheel options that look this good at that price range... but thats just me.

                            Yeah, if I could find a set of e38 weaves with tires for 90 dollars I'd be all over a set, but I just don't see that happening to me any time in the near future.

                                i think cheapest I found the style 5 were like $300 with tires. so another $400 for adapters. I'm still getting quoted for fill and drill.
