    New wheels and suspension on.

    Yup. Everything is on and complete. Pretty happy with the look. Wheels are pushed right out to the edges of the fenders and the rears are filled out nicely.

    17x7.5 front /w 225's
    17x8.5 rear /w 245's

    Big ol brakes :)

    315x28mm front
    312x20mm rear

    Tossed a 4.10LSD on while I was there, see if I like it or not.

      Looking great. If you were going to keep them maybe a slight darker color or just centers would match your car very nicely IMO.

                I normally like those wheels on e30s. Maybe it is because it is the first silver car I ahve seen them on.

                Paintem or something...

                the fill is awesome though.

                    The wheels (as previously stated many times in several threads, are temporary)

                        The MZ3 writeup is partially complete and already in the 5lug section. I will finish it up soon.

                          17X8.5 or 18X8.5 SSR comps with the gunmetal-ish center and polished lips would be absolutely gorgeous on that car. I'd run 235/40 and 245/40 staggered on the SSRs so you wouldn't have clearance issues anywhere, also: bring the rear down a tad bit to flush it up

                            None of the suspension has settled yet. The car hasn't been driven.

                              Looks great, but as previously stated, the rear could come down a bit.

                              Oh, and lose the trunk badge.
