I forgot about the rear arch's being different. Mine has high rear arches where your late model has lower ones that cover the rear wheel more.

i didn't know there was a difference, but i mine is kinda rolled on part of it from factory so ill just keep following that. should work not sure how much i will need to do the front.

whats the difference with the fenders?

Keep in mind his rear fenders give him a lot more room. Roll yours well.

$420CAD for those tires installed is a really good deal btw.

thats bomb! i think i an getting the same tires, i can get them $420canadian out the door on the rims. i rolled the little edge on the front of my fender on one side (didn't get to the other side yet) so it wont catch it not sure if its enough well see soon!

The tires are 195/55 Falken Ziex ZE-512. No spacers, i just ground on the caliper. The lugs i didn't get from him (since they never showed up), i found some else where. The front it's really tight so i'd roll them to be safe. The rear i can fit my fingers between the tire and 1/4 lip.

so you have no spacers? dam that looks bomb. whats the tire specs? were your front bolts to long? and will you need to roll the rears? or just the front?

[Mystikal]

195/55/15 should be okay. Especially if they're Falken 512 or 912 (just guessing, because of the stickers on your car).

Jason, that looks pretty damn nice.

Well, you was right about them hitting. I just took a grinder to the caliper. They clear now. I still have to roll my fenders. They are very close to them.

just went to a shop that does laser cutting and told them about what i want so there getting a quote on laser cut spacers. might get a few made and sell and them. i think ill make them hub centric to the e30 hub then put the spacer on, then the hub centric rings that came with the rims. then will i need to roll fenders? i think i will.....

with the 3mm spacer and the caliper grinded it clears but with out grinding it wont clear. its out side the fender a little not sure if ill need to roll fenders? and the back is flush. with no spacer. just need to know if i need to use hubcentric rings with the 3mm spacer or get a 3mm spacer with hubcentric rings built on them.

[1991 e30 bmw 318is]

got the bolts today there to long, but i can cut them. managed to get the stock one on thew front and the new ones on the back. just sat it down on some pads to see whats going on. cars kinda lopsided but you get the idea. no spacer on the back. 3mm on the front with the hub ring in it. if i get 3mm spacers should they have the hub centric ring on them? or just use the ones that came with the rims?








this shows where i was grinding to make room, but might not need to now with the spacer.
