        Now that is how tires should be.

        None of this "Hellaflush" bullshit.

              To stretch or not to stretch. Personally I don't like the stretch but we're all in this together. No need for the black on black. Especially with a bike rack and slammed e30. Modified fat tires that barley fit in the wheel well and most likely scrub don't exactly scream "function." You're still pretty much doing exactly what people set out to do when they decided to stretch they're tires.

                pretty sure the wheels are
                xxr 521
                16x8
                et +20
                CB 73.1 mm, will need hubcentric rings
                5mm spacer upfront to clear struts

                tires are:
                dunlop direzza star spec
                225/50/16

                front fenders:
                pulled by mike (white325is), they were on his 318is with 16x9 borbets
                rear fenders have just been trimmed up by me with a grinding wheel and flapper wheel.

                more pics to come!

                                I absolutely love what youve done with the place. My WED's had the beef-look to them and I loved it as well as my neccessary-to-fit-the-car quasi-stretched look that I wasnt too sure about at first that I have now.
