18x10 in the rear! Who said it can't be done!?

[Charlie]

Arguments about a car that Mike Akard drives? You must be joking 8) 285 tires on an e30 looks sick

yea it's sick, but pulling fenders is against the rules in the class he is racing, they are really awesome though

In what class is "pulling fenders" illegal?

Fender flares, sure, there's a number of classes where that isn't kosher, but I've never heard of a BMWCCA, NASA or SCCA class, even "stock" classes where rolling fenders is illegal. On second glance, it looks like the car is built for "I prepared", in which case fender rolling and flares are totally legal.

I wanna see how much reinforcement he has on the rear shock mounts, you gotta figure those 18x10's would be murder on them.

[Mtriple]

Holy shite, that car looks mean!!!!!!!! :evil: Must post more pics!!!

The wheels are SSR GT3's, I rock them on my daily rice...

i actually know about this car, there is a big argument in the club racing world about this car, it actually is all factory sheet metal, but the guy is claiming that its "rolling" not "pulling" the whole fender was worked real good, i'll try to dig up pics, my friend has the pics of the process of the fender work somewhere.

Hey, lets see them!
I know 10000000000000000% for a fact that the fenders are only rolled, not pulled, not torched, nothing.
The rules state "rolling and grinding" only. Rolling and grinding is all the car recieved.
This car is legal in prepared. If it's not, then all rolled fender cars (read: prepared) are illegal.
Please, I really want to see these "build" pics, I also want to know how you got them.

Dan I duno what the guys at BPG are telling you.... but you're wrong. Gotta read the rule book. ;)

Looks totally legit to me, you can achieve that with rolling, its hard but it can be done.

"ROLLING" is defined as tucking in the inside edge, pulling is defined as more than that.... rolling is legal in prepared class, pulling is not, i got all this information from my co-worker, john mariani who is huge in the club racing scene, he is the one with the pictures of the build up of those fenders, they are in fact factory sheet metal, and it's amazing what he did, but you can see how fucked the paint is and shit in all those pictures, i know it's the same guy cuz i saw these pics in the layout with the pre-paint, bodywork pics... ill see if i can get the pics from john, im not accusing this guy of anything, im just passing along information i heard from the club racing world to here...

[DanGillan]

i may be totally wrong, but all im saying is there IS an agrument in the club racing scene about this guys fenders, im not part of it, nor do i care, and ill leave it at that,



and rob, my fenders are rolled, free roller, why the hell not?

[Digitalwave]

It doesn't take anything to fuck the paint on your fenders. I put a bat to Robby's and at the first little tug one of the sides cracked.

i know, but you'll see what i mean, it's a little more than you think... ill get those pics probably on monday

[Skafrog]

how is he in one of the pics of the build-up of the fenders? The car never left Nashville TN, except to go back to Knoxville with Akard.
The car only recieved rolling. In fact, a roller was broken during the process.

he's not in it, the fenders are in the pics during the "enlarging" of the fenders or whatever the hell he did, im just passing along the word that there is argument about it being legal, i dont know all the specifics, nor do I have any reason to believe either side, nor do i care, just telling you what i've heard...

[Skafrog]
