I feel like you could have ran larger tires.

I feel like you could have ran larger tires.

sidewall or width?

sidewall not really - width, yes probably - but the price point with these was great.

this fitment is more for show, which makes me kinda depressed, but i have homies who drive just as hard on 10x more aggressive fitments......(and adapters).

either way, i'm happy with what i have.

although, i'm sorta sad that i temporarily cannot swang my car like i used to on the twisties :(

It sucks how shitty the selection for 16's is. 205/45's are abundant and cheap. 215/45's are only available in motorsporty tires. 225/40's would be perfect but they don't really exist. 225/45's are, technically, the correct size for E30's but in a lot of circumstances are a bit too aggressive not to mention there aren't many options out there.

Congrats on that. The mudphlaps complement this setup well, bums me out though, one of mine fell off and and am currently rocking only 3

[freeride53]

Thanks bruh!

I was up on some shitty roads and driveways last night and lost a bunch of hardware.

any idea on how to rig it? i've tried binder clips, those are gone too.

Love those Style 5s on 4-doors. What size tires are those?

205/45/16, thanks!


ugh i've been in a daze all day @RUFFLZ
was going to wash it and find some binder clips for the mud flaps but i forgot :(

[shaferbm]

I'd like to know more about these binder clips. My mudflaps still have the original clips. They're not as secure as you'd think. I'd never realized until I pulled mine of to clean them.

[freeride53]

Got two sizes of clips in jars from OfficeMax it was like $6
I put three smaller ones on the front, two smaller ones and one big on each of the rear.

[freeride53]

Washed the whippers for the first time in 6 weeks.

Took it for a lil' cruise from la jolla down through bird rock and pacific beach and back.

Allesgüt except for a few things that i need to address:

-fix glovebox
-fix loose belts screeching loud as fark
-new window scrapers (notice how the pass window one is completely torn off lol)
-install m3 cabs (need a lil' help!)
-install stiffer springs all around (car rubs, scrapes, bumps, and is sketch to drive hard)
-new speakers in the front
-wire aux headphone jack a little more cleanly or something
-get some new VIN matched door locks
-install NIB VIN matched ignition lock cylinder
-depo smileys


also need to temporarily beautify the car...paint/finish is lookin real hooood

Same here. These are probably the best looking wheels for an e30.
