hey, 205s on 8.5? I got 215' on 7, you need to check what you got, sounds wrong. 215 on 7 is already begging for wider rubber.

I have 215's on an 8.5, with only the tiniest of stretch.

He's running a high offset 5 lug setup with low offset wheels. He's going to need all the stretch he can get.

Thanks everyone, I have a picture of the damage from my cell phone. What happened was I was coming off the interstate waiting for the traffic to clear, after it cleared I was about to press the accelerator, my foot was already releasing the clutch, and boom, I yelled out the famous F bomb, and I waved him to follow me. He was 60 years old and it was his first accident. He really felt like sh*t. But thank god my foot wasnt on the brakes, it would have been so much worse. The picture I have you cant really tell the damage, but theres a dent underneath the passenger taillight on the body and the bumper has some paint chipped off and its not fully attatched to the car, I don't really know how to explain it.

As for the tire size, right now I'm in California (where I'm originally from) so I can't check the tire size. I really dont want to mess with the exterior now, I'm really anxious to get the S52 in. I'm a college kid so I have more important things to spend my money on.

That being said, I have an intermittent headlight problem, sometimes the driver side headlight goes out. And then the next day it turns on, then 4 days later it will go out again. This all started after I tried fixing the driver side reverse bulb. I forgot to disconnect the battery before changing it (still doesnt work btw) and that night that headlight didnt turn on.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys, and I'd like to thank Eric again for making this dream come true.

sorry guys had my head up my ass the tires are 215/40/17

i found out that the camber isnt equal,which is my passenger rear tire always rubs my driver side rear tire never rubs cause the camber is perfect on that side, even when someone is sitting behind me it doesnt rub, but my passenger side rear almost always rubs. i picked up some e36 m3 springs, you think i'd be safe with 235s?

heres a couple of pictures of the car a couple years ago with the e36 springs on
