    Want to "slam"/lower my e30

    Picking up a nice alpine white 318i tomorrow. It's an 85 and I want to "slam" the car. Not crazy, but I want the car to look good. Who knows about the proper offset for wheels, tires, wheel size. etc.etc and lowering height to make it look good and make it work. I also need wheels.
    :pimp:

    Cut the springs. Some 15x12's et-23 should fit beautifully...might need a slight roll but nothing too drastic. Try some 175/30's, I would recommend Toyo R888's.

    Good luck and godspeed.

      Get some eibach springs, some sportmaxx wheels and some ebay tails/angel eyes and call it a day imo.

                Hitting a cement barrier will slam it pretty well, but you have to get up to at least 60 MPH before impact for the super slammed look.
