Not really sure what's a fair price for these currently. Motor was rebuilt by a shop from previous owner, so I can't say how many miles are on it. It's clean and runs great lol. All I can say is it supposedly has wiseco pistons and a schrick cam. 24lb injectors and Miller chip. It's OBD1 and has some eBay stainless style headers. It pulls like a bat outta hell after 4K and redlined around 7.2. Anyone is welcome to scope it to make sure. Possibly selling the g260 with it as well if I can line up the t56 trans.

225/50r15 or 225/45r15 are what we run on the PRO3 cars. They do require a little fender rolling to keep from rubbing, but then again, our cars are usually set at close to the min height for the class, 4".
On a street car, depending which rear arches you have, you may get away just rolling the lip under if your car is on coils.
I did run 205/50r15's before, and they never rubbed, and were not bad looking on an 8" rim. That's the same size as Spec Miata/SE30, so in the RA1's I was able to find some pull off for rather cheap. It's still an available size by many sport tire manufactures.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

The car is sitting on the gc/koni setup. It looked a lot better with the 5mm spacer however, so I may just have to roll my fenders pretty good. This car has a super beat body so it's not like rolling the fenders will get me tarred and feathered or anything.
Yes, I have 10mm spacers on the front of the racecar, but none on the rear, and run wheels that actually a little less offset then ideal for an E30 (Konig Rewinds with +20) and they aren't bad unless the rearend has shifted.

I added the spacers to the front when I shortened the front housing on my homemade coilovers to use Corrado shocks. With the 225/50 they rubbed on the housing a bit. Didn't have that issue with the 205's.
Since then, I went to GC's and haven't had any issues, but I also kept the spacers on for the extra track width.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)
