Driftit 2078 Report post Posted February 23, 2012 First time I have said this. Those BBS wheels are too big and wide for that E30. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted February 23, 2012 Interesting. RWHP bodes well for my ongoing single turbo / engine set back project. Both SRBMW & myself are all too familiar with the E30 Axle failure. Thus the E28 Axles & Supra Diff in mine. Surprised he had axle issues really, with those uber stretched 215's, there would be hardly any rubber on the road anyway, combined with +400hp. Must have been the muppet factor then...

Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted February 24, 2012 Any reason you're not going hollow E36 M3 half shafts Glen? Hollow and 38mm should provide incredible strength. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 Any reason you're not going hollow E36 M3 half shafts Glen? Hollow and 38mm should provide incredible strength. Don't have M-Coupe TA's that will fit the outer M3 CV's The E30 shafts don't seem to be the problem, the CV's tend to die first. E28 axles use the bigger 6 bolt CV's both ends also, makes them easy to swap-out if needed, without messing up wheel bearing etc... Can also get super strong 300M Axles and CV's off the shelf if the need ever arises. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrphTa 5 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 The rim widths themselves are Okay. Personally I wouldn't run such a low offset with those widths. -12.5F and -20R is extreme with 9.5" and 10" wide. He could have left the arches alone but I guess he was after the aggressive look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
