    I'm not bashing your car, I'm just saying you should have chosen a better tire. To be honest, probably the only way your car would look good to everyone else is to get coil-over's and put them to the lowest setting. If you have something entirely different in mind, then by all means, suit yourself. Just realize that barely anyone here will like it.

      Before you drive it you may want to roll the fenders. Looks like if you hit a bump you'll be close to rubbing.

      Seriously, though, do a search in the members ride forum for those wheels.

          I've tuned on a budget at one point in my life also. If you got 4 wheels and only two tires, chances are you'll slap those two on. I was super happy to have just two BBS MAHLE et13 on my the rear of the first E30 I used to have.

          I think you are heading in the right direction though. Suspension is always my first choice and wheels/tires normally come next, but you'll get it down.

              I agree with you on the bigger tire.i was planning on gettin the st suspension 60/40 but it dont seem like the 60/40 is going to cut in the rear... i might have to go with 60/60. but i didn't get these for everybody to like. i got them for me.. i like them. but anyways. i still havn't seen how they look on a early model e30.

                    Do 70/50's if you can find them, you need to go lower than 60mm in the front to run such a short tire and low offset.

                      a 70/50 would look perfect with tires like that.

                              Yeah Ed is right a 70/50 drop would work great but kw springs are soft, to soft for this low of et. Get some coilovers and save your self time.

                              As stated,

                              run 205's
                              roll and pull fenders,
                              coilovers,
                              front camber plates,

                              These rims are a bitch to run but they look good when done right. I am currently on my quest to get a good stance haha.

                              Best of luck. It will cost money trust me.

                                Just to clarify, KW's aren't soft rather ST springs that tunershop pushes are soft. Coilovers with custom rates are best if you got the cheese.
