Before rolling and pulling. Pretty much sitting on the tire.
After alot of rolling n pulling. Still rubs. There is a few small holes for what appears to be trim on the fender lip. Well the lip cracked from the top most hole all the way to the edge of the lip. Lost alot of strength and rigidity and made it to where the fender would not stay out right there. Had to weld the crack and grind it smooth to continue pulling.
broke the corner off the bumper using the roller
trying to get the pull to be kinda gradual instead of just up top.

Centers done with etching primer
Backsides painted ...
Front sides painted. Done with chromabase and chromaclear. What a pain in the ass. I wish I would have just sent these out to get stripped and powdercoated.
The wheel bolts. 2 on left are cleaned and the right 2 are after hitting em with a polishing wheel n some metal polish. Pics don't really show the difference as much as in person.

Picked up some work vs-xx 19s off of craigslist. Thought a 4" rear and 3" front lip would be ok with some spacers. Changed my mind n decided to relip em and not run spacers. There's a front lip sitting there waiting...
Test fit with new outer lip. Pulled the wheels apart n beadblasted the centers. I don't like black centers unless its a black car. Going to be painted same as the car, a slightly darker silver.

They're nex adjustables.
I know they're junk. I didn't want to wait for fk. And didn't have $ left after wheels. If these last me a year til I get kw's ill be happy and they will have served their purpose. Im actually pleased so far. Rides nice n firm but not too hard. More pics coming soon....

e38 tax refund build
Well I've never posted here but been lurking for a while now. Figured id share in case it helps some people out. Car is a 99 740i sport in titanium silver with black interior. Planned on leaving it stock for a daily but that idea never lasts long with me.
Here's a couple of pictures of it pretty much stock. Car had front end damage when I got it. The paint didn't match up well so a complete repaint is in the near future.
After coilovers.
last two pics are with fronts adjusted all the way down. All adjusted nuts stacked up on the lower spindle mounting bracket.
