    M3 back in the US on new wheels!

    This will have to serve as a semi-tease for you all now till I get better shots.



    Still working out the spacing issues. I'm running 8mm up front, and I'm debating (if possible) running 5mm in the rear.

    *** Updated July 24th ***

    I got a chance to snap a few shots of the M3 today. We've had some pretty gloomy weather here lately. This was right after a wash don't mind the water drops and rock chips ;)

    Looks good. Did it make it across the pond without incident?

                Car went by boat. Going to research the spacers.

                Appreciate the comments folks. I'll shoot some pics soon, when our weather gets better!

                  Since your not all that low, you dont have to worry to much about rubbing.
                  But if you want flush wheels, best way I have found out to do it is to hand a string with a weight on the end over the edge of the fender.
                  Then measure from the string to the lip of the wheel. Then convert inches to MM and there ya go.

                      No, Not Yan.

                      Though, Yan and I were (Yan still is) in the Air Force, both stationed in Kaiserslautern Germany, both drive E30 M3's, and both have the same birthday (Yan is a year or two older)... And our mom's drive the same cars. True story.

                        I had 18mm spacers in the rear (left over spacers from the M Systems I was previously running) They were rubbing pretty bad. I'm thinking the max I'd be able to go, just by eyeballing it would be 10mm. I'm thinking of just throwing something small in there, 5-3mm maybe.

                              Looks great! I think with a small spacer it will look better. Glad it made it over here safe.
