      i want to go with 225's but i'm told its unrealistic, after mounting the wheels, it looks doable on the rears... but the fronts need a lot of rollage to fit...

        why do you have to roll the fenders ?I have the same wheels with 215/40/16 tires and 6mm spacers in the front with sport suspension and I have no rubbing issues .

Don't know how to explain, but driving E30 is like having sex with a girl of your dreams, but the girl is a bit inexperienced, so you have to show her what to do and she will do it beautifully! ohhh man... after I got the 5sp tranny in it, it is all new love all over again! :)))

          Dude, those are going to spark like a motherfucker going down the road, and be SO LOUD. They're probably not even going to last very long, they'll be ground down to pretty much nothing in no time.

                The front airdam almost looks like an early model Racing Dynamics.

                    that's exactly what it is..you can see the "Racing Dynamics" stamp at the bottom left corner of the piece in the first pic. but it's grafted to some sort of bumper skin it looks like?
                    i don't know, that's probably custom work

                      Favorite wheels ever. Congrats on getting them. Run some 214/40/16's and it'll look great...

                          I wish you had informed me of this earlier, didn't even make it to my buddies house, which was like 4 blocks away:(

                          because after looking at the front wheels under the front fenders, they stick out pretty far, and i don't want them mashing into my fenders... it may look different with tires mounted, but i'd still like to have the fender come out over top of the wheel.

                          correct, its a plastic bumper, but i removed the trim, flushed the turn signals, and made the fog lights into brake ducts. unfortunately it was vandalized the other day so it looks like ass now.

                              I dont think you can count them as shoes until you have soles on them, and can wear them around town. lol
