    Borbet all the way is my opinion. It really looks nice and somewhat unique.

        ALDO! Thanks Brotha! I was talking with Matt (co-head of M for bmw-na) and he's talking me into getting a spec e30. After my house purchase I'll be picking/building one.

        I run 225/45 on my 16x9 type a's(rear only) and it only rubs when I have a passenger due to my soft ass springs. I did however roll the shit outta the quarters.
        Ah good to know! Thanks. I have 215/40 for the rears. I rarely have people in the car besides my wife but the backseats dont get used ever and 600lb springs for the rears will help I hope. Hoping it wont rub and if I can get away with it I'll try out 225/40 and roll the rears.

              Sorry but a 205 on a 9 is definitely a stretch.

                ^ Please do. A 215/40 is wayyy too short for an early arch. I absolutely love the way the 225/40s fit on the WRDs. Plus they look amazing on a 16x9 wheel too.
