A slow build of a silver E36 coupe

Oh, and one more after i washed it today.

Just some quick snaps of my car with its new wheels on with my brothers soon to be bagged a6 avant.












So much ground clearance in that last shot, i should def go lower and probably clean the white tyre fitting stuff off the tyres.

Yeah, on the back they rubbed pretty much constantly after i wound the coilovers right down. On the front I think they would have been ok if I had more camber.

Thanks, I'm looking into buying a touring, but probably wheelspace is the same for both models.

Thank you very much for all the comments.

Great car mate! With the older tires, did you experience any rubbing? Or did they fit just fine?

And as for wheels i have just bought another set. Not fitted them to the car yet as i have to get the tyres changed over. They are a fairly common sight on BMWs but the specs are quite nice so I decided to go for them. Fronts are 17x8 et10 and rears are 17x9 et19 and if it helps you guess they are 2 piece wheels.

nice car, but IMO it needs other wheels...

my choice? some deep dish 17" wheels with bordeaux or brown center...

Car doesnt necessarily need new wheels but multi piece wheels with bordeaux centers don not sound bad

But those Style 32s go great with the silver paint! I even like the non M bumper

Nice dude!

smaller tires totally transformed it!

e39 32s work so well on 36s! keep it up!

I like where this is going, the 32s would look superb in white against on the silver!

[PharmmerBen]

Bravo!

[Buck6687]

i want some rears like yours with the dish.

[jimmybacon]

Thanks for the comments folks.

@motocaddy those white 32s against the white of your car look amazing

[Madhatter]
