New here: My 87' 325is toy thing err um car

[e30fish]

Thanks, that would be cool to see what u did. Getting ready to put my car back on the road. I might trim and pull the front fenders Alittle before I paint them again. The car is a 318 and hopefully will be reclassed into FSP next year. If it does I'm goin to the 275's/15x10 combo

Ah, didn't see their was more than one page.....
Do you think a late model e30 would have to do more or less to get this setup to fit?

I helped a guy set up a (as I call them) big tail light E30 with this same exact setup. The difference is the wheel arch in the back. It has less arch than the little tail light cars. SO you will just have to pull the fenders more. The guy I helped just runs a modest ride height. As for the front you have to trim the rear of the fender lip and also so so trimming on the front too.
Ill see if I can get some picks for ya.

sweet video looks like fun!
now sell me the spoiler

HMMM I think youd be better off getting a new one from DTM fiber werks. Up close its pretty rough. My car is no beauty queen. She was when I got it but far from now. Though its tempting cause then it gives me an excuse o get another spoiler LOL

What's the offset on your 15x10's?

The 15x10s are a 5.25 backspace or -6ET. I run a spacer which makes them a 0Et or 5.5 backspace.

the 15x10s

What's the offset on your 15x10's?

[bmwguy325is]

Its pretty much 0 et or 5 inch of back space. I also have a 5mm spacer on it as well.

What is your offset on the 15x10?

[bmwguy325is]

HMMM So after viewing a bunch of threads I have come to the conclusion I am all jacked up. My car needs to be inches lower. My self notched fenders are a party foul. Though I will buy spacers for my volks so I can be flush. JKJK:loco:

Very nice, it'd be great if you could post more pics, if you have any

I am sure I can come up with more pics. When I get my shocks back from the shop I plan to take some.

also, how are you clearing your fenders with the wide setup? Are you just running a super tall ride height?

The car is lower almost two inches. The suspension is pretty firm. I only run the wide wheels for racing. I have had them rub in the back due to up and down of the suspension. In the front with a lot of camber they dont rub. Though I had to cut some of the fender away at the rear. I plane to do some turbo style pop rivet flairs.
Ya my vow catcher takes some abuse from the cones and is held snugly by random placed zipties
