No problem. They make up to 7" I believe

Thank you sir!

The front is all the way down. I can pull out 1 or 2 of the adjuster nuts on the coilovers and get it lower. I don't like too much rake tho. I would like to lower the rear buut the coilovers are almost bottomed out. The rear already hits the wheel lips on the fenders.

It might look off a little because the front bumper is completely painted and the side skirts and rear bumper are still black. All of the lower shit is getting painted body color.

Mud flaps are required if the tire sticks out past the fender or something like that. I guess the cops were out that day because of the show. Lot of people pulled over.

I have about 3700 into wheels and tires. New is considerably more. Wheel lips were sourced from ralph wright relickone@gmail.com

Can you lower front more?
Overall I love it, but there is something that just doesnt look right. Can't point what it is...

And for the end of the day, I get pulled over and lectured about my car being too low and unsafe. Ended up giving me a ticket for no mudflaps.

Mudflaps??? Is that a requirement for Cali?

If you don't mind me asking, where did you source those lips? I've been looking everywhere and the biggest I found were 5.25.

Here's a few pics from a couple local shows. Hellaflush at venice beach and itsjdmyo in cerritos.








This came out kinda skewed, makes it look like it has tons of camber.

Few pics from the weekend. Debadged the rear, hood will lose the roundel when its time for paint. Rear roundel is staying tho. It will be too plain without it

[northmiler89]

[coconutt]

[Curt_pnw]

This thread makes me like my own e38 a little less, great work so far! Very inspiring.

Very nice E38. Getting wheels that big to fit is an exercise in patience, but pays off eventually in the amount of "holy shit, look at that!" comments you'll receive.

Keep it up! We're excited to see Gold Wheels get some siblings up in hurr.
