1991 318is from California on wide 15's

forgot that I didn't post a pic of this NARDI wheel I picked up the other month. I finally ordered a hub and adapter to fit the NARDI pattern today.

^ sorry I don't remember exactly. I found it in the classifieds on here I believe.

Man, those 6UL's look great. Their offsets require a spacer that'll have to fit the bore though...

You don't really need to worry about the bore once you convert to studs which you really want/need to do with tuner wheels. I run ECS tuning spacers.

The 6UL's are extremely well made also. I don't even have them balanced for my track tires and they don't have any vibration. :D

car looks awesome. really digging the camaro shock idea

[S13_E30]

Didi you use the e30's oem rear shock mounts?

[grippymonkey]

^ Those Camaro shocks are definitely stiffer than sports or HD's... They are also shorter than stock. They are just the midrange KYB's for Camaro's too. You could go with the adjustable ones and get a very very firm setup. I had HD's on my last E30. There is no comparison.

I just found all the hardware at different carparts stores to tie down the battery.

82-02 KYB Camaro rear shocks are all the same part #

Nice build. I t keeps me motivated to see other ppl improving their ride.
I like your battery tie down the most.haha seriously. Ive been checking EVERY junkyard for the piece that the long oem bolt screws into. Theres supposed to be some kind of piece under the battery tray and I can never find it.

Where did u get your battery tie down from!? it looks very solid and I need one for tracks.

Also the whole rear shock thing seems weird. It may be stiffer because the camaros are heavier. But have u heard of trying the billy HD's??
Im curious as to if they have similar dampening rates as the Bilstein HD's. How stiff are your rear spring rates? also

keep up the progress. im going to look through the rest

LOVE those new shoes mang!!

So what's the final offsets? It looks killer

[grippymonkey]

^ Thanks. I personally like flat or low gloss black or darker color wheels. It's a harsh contrast on white cars which I've always liked.

[jdirty]

oh yeah!! nice job man. i'm starting to like black wheels even more. :D

[grippymonkey]

I finally got the front wheels in. Now 15x9 and 15x10 are mounted up and rocking!

[grippymonkey]

^ on the 15x8... I am on a 15x10 rear now. The 10mm spacer was needed to run the 15x10 to clear the inside. I was never planning to run wider tires on the 15x8's... or to lose the spacer to do so.

and thanks!

[funcrew]

^ only a little and it is perfect. 225's would not fit as I run -4 offset in the rear.

225's and lose the 10mm spacer would put the tire exactly the same, would it not? But you say your tires run wide, so no matter.

Regardless, I love everything about your build, and the gunmetal panasport-clone wheels are absolutely just right. Nice work & looking forward to updates.
