      Charlie, if you can run the 16x9 with no flares that would be perfect. Im not a fan of drilling into the body for the flares

      jk, but me neither. I ALMOST did it 3 years ago and glad I didn't pull the trigger.
      I don't know if I'll be able to fit them without more clearance. On the front, I don't have any more tire-coil space and the tire is pretty flush to the fender. I've also already rolled and pulled the fenders as much as I think I can before it looks bad.

      In the rear I've also cut the inner lip and rolled/pulled as much as I could and I rub lightly on hard compression.

      We're talking some really meaty tires here... just sitting next to the 225 dz2s, the pirellis look almost an inch wider Maybe if these pirellis were 225s, they'd stretch a bit over the 9" wheel and give a better shape for clearance, but the 245 on a 9" wheel is still going to be quite fat I think.

            The whole motor is so cheap now too!

            edit: I think the 5 speed should be my priority... Who has the 3 pedal setup sitting around?

                  Sup dudes. Did anyone else see this??

                  It’s common sense to move your valuables to higher ground when floods threaten your home, however, we’re not sure jack stands, garden blocks and a trailer are what they mean. Regardless, one Texas man had the foresight to raise his two BMW E36 M3s and one BMW X5 just enough to stand above the floods brought by Hurricane Harvey.

                              Not to mention the interior, which is likely unsalvageable :(

                              Ultimately fixable, but what a shitty thing to happen.

                                Anyone in West LA/ Culver City area good with car audio?

                                Im going to be tearing my HVAC panel out today to swap the OBC light bar with a LED one from Garagistic, and Id like to also fix the car stereo, but other than checking basics I will be clueless. I dont think it will be a huge issue because the stereo has worked on and off in the last 2 weeks. I really want a functioning headunit.
