    Wheels are dope, I think you have too much tire tho. Looks weird up front.
    I want a nice set of smoked MHW's (I know, get it line)

      Nice wheels. Goofy trunk tho, doesn't fit the boxy e30 lines well.

      No that's the right amount of tire.

          I was going to post the exact opposite point - I like it. What spoiler is that?

            Thanks guys.

            tires 205/50/16
            fronts 16x8 et25
            rears 16x9 et10
            adaptor 20mm (4x100 to 5x114)

            Fronts have to much toe out and set at 1.5 camber.
            They need to be lowered, set at 2 camber and toe them in a bit.,
            then they'll look right., perfect fit for bbk's

            Rears, well, they do stick out a bit more than need to be.
            set camber at -3.2 (90 less 86.7) and still had to raise suspension for it to clear., otherwise rubs on line just above X on tire

            No spoiler, it's cf trunk by VIS, same as hood... pics http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/album.php?albumid=7234

              Nice to see a setup where the wheels and tires fit. Too many times I look at threads and see stretch n poke or rubber band tires on donk looking wheels.

                Love the wheels.
                If you put a 205/45 in the front on that 8", it will look exactly like your rear fitment; mild stretch.

                  The rear looks good, but definitely the front is too meaty, looks weird on car that low. Also I believe that's an esm spoiler/trunk csl style

                    uhm, think saw a pair at the yard, thanks.
                    there were some 195's too., at $30 each they're good for burning up.

                    rears look worst here as suspension was unloaded for 2nd pic.

                    CF trunk with water spots is from eurostop/esm/ari.
                    It started to develope spots within 4 weeks, did not do well with SoCal or Hawaii weather, zero help from seller so replaced it with one from company named VIS, their hood never dulled and still looks great after a few years.

                              Wheels look good. Nice to see another car with the csl-style trunk.
