M-pars are one of the best OEM wheels for our cars. Ride height looks good also.

Cheers,

for those that dont know, the m-pars were factory equipped on some e34s.

All M5 sedans and Tourings built after May of 1994 were upgraded to staggered M Parallel Spoke wheels measuring 8x18-inches in the front and 9x18-inches in the rear. These carry 245/40ZR18 tires on all four wheels. Note: Though nearly identical in style to the 18-inch M Parallel Spoke wheels later used on the E38 7 Series, the E34 M5 wheels have a different matte silver finish and a unique offset.

Did you modify the sedan rear plate filler or use the sticker type?

Photo?

Hahaha funny thing is, I want to chop a coil off the rear springs since they are maxed out and its too much rake. Might even pull the front helpers out too. Tuck 19s static like a boss!

plasti-dip. its perfect for this application. cheaper and less time consuming than modifying or buying and cutting vinyl. just remove the plate, tape the edges, spray. peel off whenever you want.
