            you could run worn brake pads to offset the caliper problem...


            I even have some paper thin ones for sale!!!


            Looks better 17/17

              I saw you the other day in Marietta... The rig is looking nice. I'm rolling with 15mm up front, but was thinking 20mm's would work nice all around. Looks good though.

                If the wheel is only lightly touching the caliper like it looks in the photo, you could safely grind down the caliper to make them fit.

                  Were you in a Red E30 at the intersection of Lower Roswell and the 120 loop?

                        Run the 17x8.5s up front as pictured with as much camber as possible.... then order some 17x10s rear. Game. Set. Match.

                            I am contimplating this idea as well.


                            It would be pretty awesome to have wider wheels on the back my E30 than on my E46. Especially when the E46 has a 9.5in wide wheel out back!

                                Yeah I love the look of it, but I guess the R3Vers have to say "NOEZZ!"

                                I love the look of 17's all around. Hell get them anyways and mix it up to your liking whenever.
