oh true didnt think about the difference in tire size and price, i dont worry about my driving in snow, its the other people that tend to freak out (well around me anyway) but they are the ones who would end up hitting you

cant wait to see those wheels mounted up, possible to redrill them?

looks like a good base to build on, why cant you drive the e39 in the snow? im sure it would be fine with snow tires like my m3 was

I dunno im just not confident in my snow driving skills plus i had a bad accident in the snow with my rwd Lexus a few years ago. Plus blizzacks are way cheaper in 15 inch than in 18 inch lol.

Ok so here is what I found after some research and I need some input from Bimmer/SW gurus:
The smallest adapter you can run are 15mm so if i want the BBS to work the final offsets after the adapters will be
17x8.5 -6
17x9.5 -13

I dont know if any e34 has ran these sizes before of its even possible. I keep thinking everything is possible with a little negative camber but am I pushing it too far?

The trans went out and i just got her back from the shop to find some more misc. stuff wrong. O well thats the joys of having a project. Ill get her back on the road in no time, until then here are some cleaned up pics. i added a license plate delete, next up after the car gets fixed will hopefully be some blizzacks for the upcoming winter. Id rather drive this than my e39


and one of my e39, the reason why i cant drive it in the snow...


My plans
Replace control arms and bushings ASAP
Suspension upgrade (coils) by end of winter
Adapters by spring
BBS on before summer starts
Stunt all summer.

Hello there guys i just got myself a 1994 Calysporot Metallic 525i in A/T. Its got 145k on it and not a bad find for $1300. Ive got big plans for her and the wheels are already in my room until i can make them fit. I plan on getting coilovers and adapters for the wheels to fit this car all by Spring time so stay tuned for some fun progress shots because Ive got big plans!

The wheels going on her are 17x8.5/9.5 +9,-2 BBS RS in Chrome w/ gold bolts. Here is the beginning to a great project, I cant wait.



and the wheels
