I've looking at these Rivet Flares.

i dont like the rivet flares imo, i prefer the smoothness of metal/fibreglass jobs.

9.5/11 inches on an e30=sex

my e30 is sitting squat like that on the rs's at the moment but the rear sitting about 20mm out of the guard, im going to have to do some stretching lol.

that felgen garage one is the exact look im going for, those rear guards on it look standard hmmm i wonder how they fit an 11 inch wide with an +9 offset. it IS the best looking e30 that i have seen.

i will soon, i bought some 20mm spacers for the front, the rear is sitting just on top of the tyre, and the front will be dropped to pretty much the same height as the felgen garage one this weekend. they used a 215/40/16, im using a 225/45/16 on the 9.5.

Awesomeness.

Just roll the crap out of the guards and you'll be sweet.

Ive run 16x9's with 205/40's

Beware of rim damage. Stretched tyres pwn wide wheels on NZ roads. Especially if the car is lowered. Rear camber issues on the E30 cause this.

Those wheels are way to thin and look sh*t IMO with those guards being soo flared.

i think the guards have been done really well on that car though, maybe it was just after its done. mtech2s without the spoiler are growing on me now.
