      what size do you run on the wheels, and do you use E30 M3 or E36 parts to get 5 bolts?

      I`m building a E30 that`s going to look almost as your car. It`s 2-doors alpine, E30 M3 drivline, IE flares, M5 wheels and S50B30 engine. Hope to see you at the Ring sometime. I`m planning a trip this summer, probably in july or august.

      Hi R,

      I'm running 215/40/17 Falken Azenis RT-615's. You can easily fit larger tires under the wheels, i just had to space mine out alot to fit the big willwood brakes. I've added 25mm of spacing to the front to clear the calipers.

      The picture you linked, you can see the fender is messed up a bit in the front. I tried to fit 245/35/18 kuhmo XS's on a set of BBS RC's, and it rubbed badly, so i heated the fenders and started pulling them out. Unfortunately i ran out of time to get it finished neatly, so the old wheel/tire combo was used instead.

      I have E30 M3 H&R coil overs for the 5 lug conversion.

      I should have my S50B30 in the car soon as well :) I just bought a year pass this weekend, so i hope to not have the car down for too long. what are you doing for the brake booster, and do you by chance have a non EWS ECU?

        Hey what were the wheels you had on the car when you first got it? I didn't notice in the thread, but then again I'm blind as hell.

        Sold.......again.

            I run a hydraulic system from a larger BMW. Not shure witch since it was on the car when i bought it.

            I`m running smaller brakes, so i don`t have to use spacers. I hope then to use the 9" M5 wheels all around, and with 235 r-tyres all around. Do you think that this will fit under the IE flares?

            I`m sorry, but i don`t have a non EWS ECU...:(

              Hey Eric,

              I still have the pic from last year when I saw you parked at the main entrance and the video clip when you came around Breitscheid. Your car sounded great. Hope to see you again sometime this year.

                  E21 BBS/Mahle wheels they are 15x7 with a low offset in the 12 or 13 range.

                  Eric are you planning on going to the 24 hour race this year? I might be around for it this year.

                      aah, i have the hydro boost from a 750iL... well just the part on the firewall, i don't have the acumulator or the PS pump. do you have to run the acumulator and the 750 PS pump? or just run the stock PS pump to the hydro boost and have no power steering.

                      keep your eye's out for a non EWS DME, i need one!

                      I think 235/40/17 will fit no problem with stock brakes. oh, and i have a set of 9j rears if you need a set :)

                                For some reason I thought this car was already swapped. Now it will be complete. I can't wait to swap mine!!!
