So i went to the junkyard thinking it was half off. So i proceeded to the register with my projectors and one style 5 and he said $71. Turns out half off is next weekend. I was like f that and went to my car. Then i realized hens teeth are pretty hard to find so i went back for them. Dude was like just give me $14 for the lights.

whas that?

Use the generic 16x8 et0 sportmaxx's as your benchmark.
They sit almost flush to the fenders on e30's, so take that into consideration when playing with widths, offsets, and tires.

Whenever I see wheels, I compare it to that to imagine how it will fit.
Pretty easy.

yeah, i tried comparing to my sportmaxxes, but it's all pretty close. this is fitment with 8mm spacers, so realistically i'd need a minimum of 10mm more for the possibility of adapters. think it's do-able? camber plates are max'd out..

Doing the timing belt on my M20B25 & need some advice..

There is some slack on the long side & im not sure if its supposed to be completely tight. Advice is appreciated!

turn the motor over clockwise and check the timing marks. shouldn't be slack once you start to turn it.

Admin April fools joke?

sup

What is the wheel spec mike? Width and offset? And 5lug right?

[mkcman17]

i think they're 16x7 et10ish. that picture is with 8mm spacers. trying to determine adapter-ability.

Okay, I calculated it.

Imagine your sportmaxxors, and try to remember where the lip sits in relation to the rear fender. If I'm right, with 7" wide -et8, it is going to sit 4mm inward of where your old 002 lip used to sit.

And that's if it really is a et10 wheel.
