MVR's on my car (Does this look sick or what?)

[lukasbmw]

Note: This is with 245/40/17 tires. No way in hell will they work up front. I am going to try to run 215/40/17 tires all around and hope they fit without rubbing.

i think the ltw replicas look better, MVRs are like BBS CHs, they dont look right until they're 19"

I'm with Rob.

Either way, you need to fix your front suspension, get offset CA bushings if you dont already have them, and slot your CA bushing brackets. Center that damn wheel, it looks goofy.

Erm, me three. ltw's looked much better.

...or what.

[OOMPH!]

Yeah, I'm definitely digging the wheels Lukas......

[Bryson]

why not run '95 m3 control arms to push the wheel farther forward? Standard e36 procedure is to use those and offset control arm bushings to get extreme castor, but in your case it might center the wheel better

[Jay Stock E30]

what offset are those rims?

[spencers]

looks hott

[Jon325i]

245/40-17 on a standard E30 is impressive. I'm just not so sure about the wheels.

Just my

I think they look alright, but honestly, you need more impressive brakes for a wheel like that. I agree you really have to get the front wheels centered badly. Get stiffer springs and run 235/40R17's all around and you should be set, assuming you get the front wheels pushed forward. I run 8.5x17 with 235/40's with race springs, thick sways, and aluminum Control arms with offset urethane bushings and have had no rubbing even pushing the car as hard as i can through turns and going lock to lock. It's super-ass close, but the springs save me.

Ha, stock M roadster brakes are not what I call impressive enough for a wheel like that. If you gonna run really thin large diameter 5 spoke wheels, you needs some massive calipers to look normal. I have an E36 M3, while the brakes perform well, they're definitely not much if not nothing to look at. I even painted them bright silver and painted the embossed ///M logo in in the TriColor with a black letter "M." I'm still glad that they're mostly hidden behind the M double spoke II's.

EDIT:

You're kidding right??
