The e30 has coilovers and TCKline rear perches with 2.25 ID springs, the wheels are 16x7.5 et 35 with 20mm spacers front and rear. 225.40.16's fit perfect, even with the spacers I still have plenty of clearance inside and outside. I am going a little lower with it and will post pics in this thread when its done. The rears don't come out flush with the fenders like I wanted them to, I'll probably end up getting 25 or 30mm spacers soon.
The truck so far has been awesome, just fixing a few things here and there changing fluids etc. I also found the trans fluid (yeah yeah its an auto box but the price was too cheap to pass up) to be WAAAAY over filled so that needs to be corrected. Only american vehicle I have ever owned, big ass trucks are about the only thing US auto manufacturers can get right! Haven't looked into alot in the way of software yet but its on my list. I need a full car trailer first.... and a sewer pipe.... and some 33's..... and bumpers..... and a winch...... and some lights.... I have a problem.

what suspension are you running on the e30? reason i ask, i have the same wheels on my daily and going to get new tires soon. i'm debating whether to get 225/40 or not because of rubbing issues. any problems with that?Leave a comment:

You and I have very similar taste in vehicles.
I also have audis and bimmers and want a truck just like that.
Please say its a stick. The Cummins is the best motor available. Easiest to work on, best on fuel, and the trucks look tough too.
What chip are you going to get? Deisel FTW
Car looks good. Nice job on the swap. Get it on the Track.

I have four but there are 11 at my house... I enjoy working on my freinds cars probably more than I do mine!
Just a few more things and the e30 will be ready to go back to HPDE/ auto-x duty. I have put about 300 miles on the swap so far and everything was pretty much good to go right off the bat. I need to move my O2 sensor up so it doesn't cool down at idle and throw it into open loop when I come to a stop. Next up will be an autopower roll bar and a new(er) OMP seat and harness for the passenger side. Hoping to stumble across something reasonably priced.

My e30 finally runs after 2+ years of being down for the m50 swap. I really like how smooth the 24v pulls. Next order of business: BOOST!
Bought a truck to drag euros around
Friend's corrado is down for the mild engine bay shave/ wire tuck/ turbo/ manual steering/ a/c delete/ narrow rear beam/ etc swap spectacular
Hot 8v engine for my brothers golf, port and polished flow benched head, lightweight flywheel, USRT shift linkage, 2.0 ABA Bottom, TT cam headers

The wheels are ATS type 10 16x7.5 225/40/16. They are the same ones from the quattro but I needed adapter/spacers to make them work. The quattro is 4x108 so I had www.wheeladapter.com make me a set of 3/4" thick 4x100 to 4x108 spacer adapters. They work perfectly and Fred knows his shit if you need adapters!!!Leave a comment:
