    Low and Wide

    As most of you know, I recently bagged my car a few months ago and had to remove the RS's for fitment. I wanted the RS's back on the car, but I also wanted to go more wider. I took my car over to my good buddies at Buddha Concept Designs in Buena Park, CA to discuss about widening my fenders. They told me to get my wheels exactly how I want them and they will do the rest.

    Here is what we started over the weekend:




    And shop rules "Owner must make the first cut"


    The fenders will be full metal and M-Tech 2 kit will be fitted. My goal is to get the car as low as I can on 17's and get rid of the rake look. Updates to come.

          Very interested in the finished look. I am not sure if we have a custom concept shop like that here in South Florida, but if anybody has some info, please post.

              Make sure they don't lower the fender arch at all, it looks like the front is already getting there. Keep them as they were or go up, it's where most people go wrong.

                    I remember talking to Kevin and the plan is so that the car is going to be able to move while aired-out, so they've got that covered.

                      I would want more meat on the road...might as well justify all the work your doing IMO. Interested in the work done, I would love to fit 17x10s on for racing.

                        spec?

                        I am guessing 235/35s on 17 x 11?

                        Always wanted to see what a custom exclusive "body" design shop would do on an E30.

                          The fender arch will be raised higher as my car goes lower just like how the rear setup is going to be.

                          I don't drive this car as much nor do I track it. Going more for a stance look.

                          Almost right. 235/40 on 10.5. I wish I could find 35 series or even 30 series, but no luck.
