Muy bueno. :thumbsup

2.5hrs is totally reasonable if youve ever done any front suspension work before. I did my front GC's in 2hrs with no lift.

All I'm gonna post up for now.

What kinda fag runs stretched tires?

[Digitalwave]

Nice orange peel on your quarter panel :loco: ;)

You? My tires aren't stretched. They have a "rim protector lip" I'd love to get rid of these free tires. You want to pay me $900 so I can get the tires I'd like?

No more "orange peeled" then any out of the factory paint job.

[boom-monkey]

Most tires have a "Rim Protector Lip", mine being one of them, but that doesn't mean the tire has to bow inward like yours clearly do. Also, you've never seen my tires from an angle such as that, so don't make such blatently wrong accusations of my car.

Your tires are stretched, making you a hypocrite for ragging on so many others for it.

Yeah, I think they actually refer to this as 'texture' instead of orange peel...but, yeah that about how much texture factory paint has.

Most of the cars here with original paint have been buffed/sanded so many times that it's lost some of it though.

Stretched tires are a 205 or 215 on a 9 or 10in rim.

I have 245's on a 8.5in wheel. Not stretched. Again if you were to cut the gay rim protector lip off flush with the wheel the tire would be damn near square. 255 would be square. I could run 255's in the back if I wanted to, but again.. free tires.

Stretched? The E36 M3 came with 245s on it's two 8.5" wheels out back.

You fucking idiot. It's factory size for those wheels.

now your speaking my language. What size wheel and offset would be ideal in the rear to run 255's? Once my car has the boosted m30 ill be looking anywhere to get better traction

[Jordan]

Not sure what offset would be ideal on a stock e30 suspension. Not a single part of my suspension is stock anymore. I have M-Roadster rear trailing arms so the "native offset" if you will is completely different.

That said the rear wheel clearly pictured above is 17x8.5 ET41 with 245/40R17 rubber.

Look at the picture and tell me that doesn't look stretched.

[NORCAL/E30]

+1 Fits perfect as far as I can see.
