E30 Oem m3 sheet metal conversion

[jburnsbmw]

I respect all your guys opinions and appreciate the critiquing but at the end of the day it's what I like and what makes me feel good about the build. Some people like 19's and some don't. This is similar to the look I'm trying to achieve.

anything is possible, but OP you've spent alot of money and gone out of your way to make this car a very clean m3 replica. why ruin it with wheels that are way too big for the car? IMO the biggest wheel that still looks good on e30's are 17"ers

also, i can't believe you're actually considering trimming any of that sheet metal to make those wheels fit... especially when those panels have become so expensive/rare

in for updates though, you seem to do good work so maybe it'll turn out looking good... i just personally think 19's look goofy on e30's


(19x8 et40 front, 19x9.5 et 26 rear)
[compared to your setup, the front will poke 11mm more and the rear will be sunk 7mm. so maybe you won't have to do such an aggressive roll like this dude did]

I don't think 19's will fit at all

Anything is possible. I'll make them fit

Wheels look nice. On my inner rear quarter I ground down the inner lip to fit 255x40x17 on a 17x 9.5 et25 Hartge wheel. Good luck on fitting wheels.

So instead of rolling you just trimmed the inner edge?

Wheels arrived! Apex arc-8 flat black 19x9.5 et33 rear and 19x8.5 et35 front. Will roll front fenders and rear quarters. May trim rear quarter inner wheel housings depending how well they fit.
