    Needs fewer doors :)

    j/k j/k, it looks amazing! Time for a few body mods to compliment those sexy wheels.

      Looks great! I was thinking of doing this to the Touring... Thought it hadn't been done yet... Real 17" Alpinas on a 5-lugged E30.. Kudos man!

        Thank you very much, I also could not find photos of this set up so that was my main motivation to do something "new".

            Looks pretty aggressive! How did you fix the front caster issue?

                He pulls it off beautifully!
                He pulled if off nicely and they look like they fit well. However, 8.5 is a stretch already, but 9.5" in the rear on a stock bodied non-M? It's like a skinny girl with no body getting a boob job. Yeah the tits look great but where's the rest? Not to mention the weight of the wheels and increased drag not only because of width (which he's not using) but since they are out of the wells.

                    I have to agree on this one. The wheels are sick, but are let down by the rest of the car. It's just too plain, too 'vanilla'. It would look better with some is skirts and a rear valance, maybe some euro bits and smoked tails, etc. But on an otherwise bone-stock body, they just don't 'fit', IMHO.

                        I like vanilla for a DD :D And this is how Todd at Dyno Tech (www.dynotechonline.com) fixed my caster issue. Enjoy

                              ok, it looks awesome.
                              but is there power under the hood too?

                                That's a seriously clean setup, I like the way your car turned out.
