E30's on 18's

The wheels look outstanding Crusher, but your suspension setup makes you look DONK. Lower that MT2 or sell the wheels. Even the offset looks stock.

^You guys really don't understand just how bad the streets are here in Chicago. I would love to nothing more to blow a couple grand on coils, roll my fenders and add camber, but the reality is, every time I leave my alley my car scrapes as it is. Smaller wheels or lowering my car would make it worst.

When you live in the real world (and not on r3v) it's nice to have a car that is a relatively normal height to: a) not look like a kid to the outside world b) be able to drive your car and c) experience better handling characteristics.

While 18s aren't my first choice I think your car looks great.

i wear size 18 shoes..

hahahaha Your car is so awesome. Do you actually not like the look?

Haha, thanks dude. I don't dislike the look, but I'll be going to 17's next to lighten up the rotating mass a bit. If I were to do 18's again it would only to run 285/30/18's

my 2 cents:
Run 18's or 17's on e30 if you have big big big brake kit, big big engine, or you are gangster.
17's can be properly used in race cars, and for tire availability.

But the best looking size on the e30 is 16's, that's my subjective perspective on this.

[phreshkid]

Ryan it's the girth that matters.
How wide are your 13"s?

13x5.5 or 6 (whatever is on e21 320iS).

I would love a set of BBS e50 in 13x7 or staggered at 7.5 in the rear and 7 in the front. I would have to look into that.

For the 2002, I am building a set of BBS RM 15x7.5' r and 15x7 f with Nogaro Silver centers. (The car is going to be Polaris Silver when all said and done (phase 1 and 2 this summer))

Makes complete sense. The 17s will look good too, with great tire selection.

[IronFreak]

I still think that some 17"ers are wagon-wheelish. Some MT2 and M3s can pull off 17 though.

Edit: Now that I have caught up on your build thread, this thread makes sense. I would think that the 32s would work fine with some real meaty tires, no?

I actually flipped the 32's for some decent profit. They really weren't the 32's I wanted as it was squared 8" wheels.

Can anyone tell me if the following red e30 is a late model or early model w/ plastic bumper swap?

I ask because 'Jordan's old e30' was actually an early model, so while many people post saying e30s look good with 18s citing his car, it should be said that his had the high early-model rear arches.

- many thanks who knows about the following car

[ak-]

Early. That guy is sort of active on the forums.

[wazzu70]

Looks like an early model to me. Has the pop out windows and the arches look higher up than on my car.
