      I'm thinking skylines due too r32s now being legal. I hope the e30 continues to be the hipster car for awhile though. I'd like to be able to make money on it lol

            I've got a 9" wide wheel with 15 mm offset on my car and I'm using a 10mm up front to clear my coilovers. Doesn't hit the brakes at all.

              I'm running a 5mm spacer to clear my coilovers with basketweaves. Do you think a 20mm would work?

                I think 10 mm should work. Pepboys sells some 10mm spacers for like $5. I suggest just buying 1 and trying it out, it won't hurt.

                  Would easier to know if you both had the same coilover or design.
                  Tire width can also play a factor.

                  I need a 15mm spacer to clear my 9' et15 wheel in front with my unconventional coilovers.

                  Your rear should be fine btw. It will clear trailing arm as is,.

                        He's touched just about half of all of SoCal's E30's with success with that specific job including my brother's car.

                        Timing belt and coolant system refresh done by Trey today. Awesome work, easy to deal with, and a totally fair price. Much recommended, I'm going to bring my e30 to him for some more work for sure.

                          Bc coils not ground control. I'm running a 5mm spacer to clear the stock basketweaves. Moving up to 255/50/17 on a 10" wide wheel front and back.

                              Some great info here, the thread is for the M42 kit but if your building your own kit there is a lot of theory and technical info that applies to any case.

                                Lots of cool parts coming this week! Genuine iS lip, GC raised shock mounts (so I can finally install the new Koni's also), and also the most important one, the E34 throttle cable. I have a lot to do before the c&c this weekend, sadly the car wont look much different when Im done with the exception of the lip.
