        Wow never seen these on an e30 and they look awesome. These wheels are probably one of my favorites of all time

          I am with you I have always loved the M-parallels but I had to make a lot of room to make them fit. 9.5 inches wide with an et of 25 is deep. I could have fit a. 275 on a rear with a ideal et.

            Looks tough man - Real good considering they are 18's

            Any trouble with front wheel-well rub?

              It is tight. There is no more room for tire that for sure. I have a 12mm spacer up front making my et13 but it just barely clears the coilovers (4mm) . I am glad I cut my fenders so high otherwise I would have had to raise the car .

                I was ready to hate it, but that looks tough as fuck. Good job, man. I've always liked M-Pars but only on bigger cars. Excellent execution.

                    Looks like you have room for 285/30's with those flares.

                      With the right back spacing maybe. I need to switch my rear spring rate. I currently have 600 rears and 550 fronts. I am leaning towards 850 or 950 for the rear.

                        Looks great, glad to see a local running kamotors flares. Hopefully auto crossing this season?

                              Damn. That looks about as awesome as I was thinking it would! Nicely done. I've been thinking about this very thing, I think your the first non m3 that I've seen do it, and I've been searching for pics for some time.

                              Please drive this out to the d4c2014 gathering on August 1st! I would love to see this in the flesh.
