    ATTENTION! Have I ever helped you out with wheel/tire fitment? Post pics here!

    Hey guys,

    Thanks to my Wheel/Tire fitment thread on this forum, I've had the chance to be a part of hundreds (thousands? The thread is closing in on 6 digit views) of interesting E30 projects. From guys wanting "flusher" fitment of their stock wheels to extreme 12" wide slick setups on built race cars, I've been along for the ride and honestly enjoyed every bit of it.

    Now, after doing this for free for so many years, I'm asking for the smallest of favors. I'd like for you to share with me some pictures of your car if I've ever assisted you with the fitment on it. That can mean whatever you want it to mean, whether it was asking me directly though PM or my thread, or by a search result you found that I was the author of. If I helped you out and you want the opportunity for your car to be enjoyed by lots of people online, share some photos with me.

    Post them in the thread, e-mail me higher res versions, PM pics if you have some crazy secret project, I don't care. As long as you spend a minute to share your car with me, I'm more than happy. If possible share the wheel size, width, final offset, and tire size. If you don't know them offhand that's fine too.

    Thanks guys,
    Jay

    If you are hesitant to have your license plate shown, please block it out if possible. Photos submitted will be used by myself for promotional purposes, so don't act surprised when it happens. I will re-host all of the photos on my own server, don't worry about bandwidth abuse. Blah blah blah. Now go post.

              This is a great idea. When I was looking for wheels/tires, it was hard to decide, and often had to ask posters for their specs.
              I would only suggest that each post add exact specs for easier reference:
              - front rim size, rim width, offest, tire size/make ... eg. 15x8 ET20, 225/45 Yokohama
              - same for rear wheels ... eg. 15x8 ET10, 235/40 Yokohama

              I'll be glad to erase this post later to free space for more important stuff.
