I've never liked those.

also tire choice in 16" is not great.

Lot better than 15

UPDATE!

So the E30 has been down for about 2 weeks now. It sprung a fuel leak at the fuel rail (a very simple issue; Fuel line came undone at the inlet, but im still scratching my head on how the hell the line busted loose...I know the fuel pressure isn't nearly as high as the E36 m3, so i dont know what could cause this)

Since then, that has spurred me to replace my wiring harness (since i had to rip off the intake manifold anyway). The original one I received from Kadunza had a non-functional obd2 diagnostic port...he has since sent me a new one! Great customer service! I'm currently wrapping up the harness install, and about to reinstall the intake manifold and get that all finished up.

All the while, my girlfriend bought me some Depo smilies for my birthday back in February. Knowing the quality of these headlights (sealant issues), I've opted to retrofit Morimoto v.6 projectors utilizing Squared Motorwerks for a modern day headlight setup and light output!! I'm really looking forward to this mod. I've also installed George Graves E36 One-Touch Windows...it's the little things that count :up:

sooo.....what are you gonna do with the 16x8 style 5s :up:

Yours if you want em.

This is the correct size for the 16" E30 M3 Sport Evo. I picked the BF Goodrich g-Force sport comp for my M3 and I've been incredibly happy with them, not sure if they are still available though.

16x8 et25 is about right for 225/45r16, but if you're low you will have some clearance issues. Dunlop makes a star spec in that size, but at 200tw it's basically a full time spirited driving/track tire.

I see. I really wouldnt mind something mainly for spirited driving as the E30 will only be seeing weekends, meets and hopefully track days soon.

Thank you for the recommendation!

Thoughts on these? 16x8 et25. basically just trying to get more rubber in the back.

[e30_world]

dude hell yeah. Everyday i open the garage, the E30 just greets me with a smile. But im gonna do the same as well for mine. Get a stated value policy and enjoy having a bad ass car. After seeing Dugly52's car at the recent Dick's meet, I'm tempted to start converting it to a race car lol. looking into rear seat deletes, and potentially a roll bar ;D

You keep stealing all my ideas! I'm totally doing the rear delete. He did a nice job on his. I'm contacting VSR for a bolt in, maybe we can get a deal on shipping if we go in on it. I think there about 800 for their set up. Other option would be to weld one up ourself.

[car_gal_jenni]

haha it's alright! Im pretty happy the E30 gets to rest in the garage now!

Updates soon! Got some nice goodies for the E30 that im excited to show the world!

Now I'm definitely curious!
