MY 320i E30

Recommended Posts

Very nice, I like those wheels, wonder if they come out an inch wider?

The kit looks very good, the imitation kit has the advantage of no sag as its one piece.

the offset must be around ET10 then? or spacers for some odd reason? I run 205/50 on a 16x7.5 and theres no rubbing at all, could probably go to a 225/45 with only a slight guard roll if anything. You should easily be able to run 215/40 on those rims without trouble if the offset is right (~ET25). I just don't see the point in running a smaller tyre for looks.

If you want the streched look go hard or go home, 7.5" just isn't enough to do it properly. some deep dish 16x9 B)

Your car though so whatever suits you, just my 2c. Everything else looks sweet, similar colour scheme to my car with the black wheels and polished lips, looks really nice with the tec2, I like how you've kept the chrome window trim too.

yeap im running spacers cus i think the offsets like +42 or something, the wheel only rubs on one side on some fibreglass that matt had to add to the kit to attatch it, not the guards, but its slowly getting worn away on the fibreglass bit and i can sand that little bit off any way, no biggie

i do agree with you on the wider wheels though but the ones iv got now are fine for me atm, can always change them further down the track like alot of things i dream of eventually doing, gota stop somewhere though

Yea his offset is weird as he said so hence the spacers... the 195s are rubbing like blair said but im wondering if he had a 205 on there wether it would rub on the actual guard not the fiber glass piece on the kit as he stated.

Soooo its about time for a small update on a few small changes...

as some will know from my other posts i have put in a set of blue leather recaro sport seats which are great!

also added a set of clear front and side repeaters a few months back.

Just recently i have put in new shortened shocks all round and front bump stops, and got a much needed wheel alignment! the handling has much improved and more enjoyable to drive, especially cornering!

Just last week i got round to getting some tints, got 35% all round,

Also just bought an SE steering wheel today so hopefully have that in before the new year...

As with any update there must be pics! so here are a couple i got today on another day in Taradise!

enjoy

they are Wolf rims, got them off trademe,

no they aren't the right offset, running 25mm spacers

all the right offset wheels for e30s are ugly apart from those new alpina rims zenetti has just got in, il eventually save for some big dish wide 16s!

I like it, and although I like the clean bootlid look, I think yours would look good with the techII spoiler - make it look beefier/tougher.

Where'd you get the clear indicators. I need new ones.

just got the indicators off trademe from "eurolights" i think

Your Sedan and sir e30 Touring are my top pics to own.

You should get aftermarket Black taillights.

Yea flag the black tail lights blair but i like the idea of the all red tail lights that would look mint. Your car looks perfect how it is IMO bro I think a spoiler would wreck it. My 2c B)
