    My e30 so far

    I started with this.



    Than i was dumb and lowered my car by heating springs which made it look like this.



    But it also did this



    So because im still in high school and on a budget i saved up for the cheapest coilovers i could find which were jom and got this.





    A buddy of mine said he had a cheap set of wheels so i bought these



    they a set of staggered porsche sevenslots 16/7 16/8

    I got a set of 25mm h&r adapters for 70$ which i thought was a great deal and i bought 195 40 tires and now my car sits like this.









    Update: wheels spaced a little more!

    I dig the new rims, a little more spaced out and they will be golden. Keep up the good work!

              Great wheels and a nice ride height. Good luck with your build.

                A good start for a high school student!

                Wish you had gone with bigger tires though, those are ridiculously small.

                  I love the look, tires just don't look right at all.

                    I agree about the tires, theyd look great with some nice meat.

                      I think when the front comes down a little more the small tires will look a lot better my height just isnt exactly where i want it yet.

                          I love how the coils turned out after you heated them! But looks a tad better now with the new coils and wheels! Keep it up!

                            Sorry but no. Any way you look at it a 195/40/16 tire is way too small for an E30.

                              I do love those wheels, though for some reason i focus on wheel well gap, I prefer it to be even front to back. Tires are a tad thin, but overall i like it.
