i am going to be mocking them up to see what tires i am going to need on thursday, and also making a set of center caps since it is next to impossible to find a set. If my measurements are good then they will be pretty flush wit hte fender give or take a mm or 2. WE will see

Beautiful Mk's and BBS', I want to see them mounted

Well i ran into some small issues this morning trying to mount up the rims. On the front i wanted to run the 25mm spacers that i thought would put the rims where i wanted them. Well the problem is that i was measuring thinking that i had 20mm spacers up front when i really had 10mm. So with the 25mm spacers in the front put it way to far out. I was planning on running the 25mm in the front and the 18mm in the back but i guess we are going to be getting a little wild wiith it and run the 25mm in the rear and still be wider than expected in the front and run the 18mm. I just got to order some wheel studs cause i was going to use the bolt from (what i thought were) 20mm on the 18mm with out a problem. So it is going to be a little while longer to fit the fronts and get the rubber mounted up. On to the pics of the rear. I didnt take ics of the front cause i dont want that much poke to grow on me.







i was thinking before about running 245/40/18.i think that more stretch wiill be needed, any thoughts

lol. true that.

Palns have changed a little i think that i am just going to run the 18mm in the rear instead of the 25mm, and keep the 10mm in the front. Reason being that there will be a lot less fender wor to do initally and then i can work my way out to that fender. She is still going to be flush but just with more meat on the rims. Waiting on longer bolts to come in.

good build ,my gf has a 525i but sedan the wagon looks so much better and there pretty rare

[jeremy242]

Rubber should be at the house when i get home tonight, they will get dropped off tomorrow and mounted up. Hopefully begin to have them on the car tomorrow or thursday. Then i can start to see how much rolling is going to be needed. Went with 225/40 in the rear and 215/40 in the front. The rears will be 18x10 -5 and the fronts will be 18x8.5 -2. We will see.

Rims are mounted up, however they managed to chip the paint on every single rim so that will have to be touched up. I will take pics when i get home, i am going to start fitting them tomorrow, hopefully there are not to many issues to work out

[yotatuner]

[jeremy242]

Got some fine tuning to do but it is pretty good right now.
