    OE fitment on E30's is 195/65/14 so a 205/50/16 will be the correct upsize to use. You could also use a 195/55/16 but it is slightly taller (12mm). The 195 is the narrowest you are legally allowed to run on a 7" rim.

    Edited: because I can't read properly........... What Brent said below :)

    Good stuff on your personal touches.

    Just a FYI with the guards. I would be very careful before using a guard roller on them. They have been extruded and rewelded, you run the risk of damaging that work that was done. EG the front gaurds are actually three gaurds welded together.

    good luck bud.

    It is just the rears that need doing more. At the moment it is only just touching, even half a degree of camber would probably fix it.

    I think you make have been right.

    PowerHaus in Tinakori Wellington just replaced both worn rear monoball joints, and replaced both rear upper control arms. The also found one rear wheel was missing it's centre ring, and one of the front wheels had two stacked together, plus a loose pinch bolt on the steering box - they found all this doing a WOF and the repairs so the car would pass the WOF.

    We took this car to the follwoing places to have this issue looked at; Dave Hadley (put the wheels on with he new tyres), Tonys Tyre Centre in Kent Tce, Page European, and finally Firestone in Upper Hutt who did a warm balance. VTNZ have done 2 WOF's and Page European have done 5. The monoball joints were munted - and as my car has only done 10,000km in 4 years they should have been picked up in an ealier WOF, or when i paid to have the suspension inspected by Page!

    I can't believe that no-one picked up on the locating ring issue. Have the wheels been off since the new wheels and tyres were fitted?

    Do you need some new locating rings? Maybe I could send some down?

    Hi Jim

    I am sorry to hear about the experience you had in one of our stores. Rest assured, we do take our business seriously and will do our utmost to get to the bottom of this problem. Customer service should be paramount in our business and the staff member(s) will be reminded of this. I have passed this issue onto the owner of the business and he will personally take the matter further to resolve it.

    Once again I offer my apologies to you.

    Regards

    can we still get BBS wheels in nz? i popped into mag n turbo and they tell me they cant get BBS anymore

    anyone know who does BBS?

    thanks

    we can get them via Australia, however the freight costs are horrendous. Which model and size are you after?

    It is probably easiest to take off a front and rear and check the specs on the back. Either that or put them side by side. This should tell you immediately whether they are different or not.

    18's on a car that spose to run 15's will always look low but are actually practical as wheel height makes up for it. Diff ratio is another story.

    am not quite sure what you mean there. Nothing will change as the overall tyre diameter stays as close to factory as possible. Only the sidewall height gets smaller as the wheel gets bigger.
