ever heard of "google"

Why do all you young guys go on about stretch and spacers? What ever happened to buying wheels that are designed to fit a car. Your suggestion won't fix his problem at all. Why don't you think something through before posting tripe. 3 pedals is on the right track but I think in plain English he means it will steer and track badly. The truth is 18x9's are too wide for the front of an E36. I have owned over 10 so far. Where did you buy the wheels from? and what size tyres are you running?

I use min of 95 in the 4.4V8. Seems to run ok, averaged 10.5l/100km to Hamilton and back for the V8's. That wasn't driving sedately either - the tiptronic got a good workout

I just got an email form a mate in the States. He has just returned from the ZMAX dragway in the States. 4 lanes of racing! He sound the sound concussion almost knocked him off his feet the first time and the grandstands literally shake the whole time! check it out!!

nice car - great to see more 7 series Bimmers on here. Although yours is much fancier than mine

I'm sorry but I wouldn't say removing part of suspension set up that is designed for a purpose is making an educated decision

I like your way of thinking however I am going to play the devil's advocate here. The cert plate will then state the size wheel that you have on the car at time of certification. I am guessing the borrowed wheels will be a 16x7 or 16x7.5. Technically speaking if the car is cert'ed for that size wheel then you put the 16x9's back on, you can get fined, green stickered or whatever they do for having wheels that do not comply with the cert plate. I only know all this from past experiences

Good luck on the cert check. The car looks awesome. You may get knocked back on having 205's on a 9" wide rim though. Certifiers are getting pretty strict with having an approved width tyre in relation to the rim width. Hopefully you can get through!

I got up this morning and noticed that my door mirror cover off my E38 7 series had disappeared! Would prefer silver but anything considered.

haha nice work. Someone has put a lot of time and effort into that. Maybe they are practicing for the next Gran Turismo driver search
