slow e46 touring build

[stein92]

hey all haven't really posted much just been a lurker for a while but have finally started a build but im still in college so it will be a slow one so hang with me

i picked it up knowing it needs a lot of love



i then cleaned it up and got black kidney grills and the gf bought me a license plate frame



i then did the yellow fog lights and plan on doing the high beam bowls when i get new headlights with angel eyes



and today i went and picked up some corvette salad shooters for a steal of a price will spend rest of winter refurbing them there 16x9.5 front and 16x10.5 in the rear





wanting to buy coilovers this weekend and getting new roundels as well hope you enjoy so far

so the other day i test fitted the wheels before my suspension came in and finding out if i need spacers or not, well they fit beautifully just need to order tires and suspension should be in any day now!





not sure on how i feel about the wheels i picked them up for super cheap say less than 100 dollars for all of them but i do like how there different

I may be wrong but I think you mean tnhe wheels are 8.5 and 9.5.

And with the suspension drooping like that, they may sit sorta flush, but once you have weight on the vehicle they will be sunken.

how odd i was pretty sure corvette wheels where to high an offset to fit with out spacers. et55 or something stupid like that. my 9.5 are et27 and sit pretty flush. needed to roll and pull the rear. just as an fyi,

you may not see it, but these wheels will be sick with a massive drop! Keep 'em!

P.s.- I've wanted a e46 touring for while now :/
