Another BMW E28 - This Time From Australia

[epearce]

Maybe going down to a 50 series ? Your sidewall will shrink considerably and will pull the sidewall in a hair . Too bad the 55 series wont work , It looks sick!

For some reason i had in my head they were 205/50s haha, not 55 like i put on.

I'll try 195/45 first see if it clears.

Jammed the wheel under the guard and put some weight on it to cure my eagerness of how it is going to look:





Then I just sat back and admired

Now to find a tyre that will clear!



Cheers man, nice touring as well!
Thanks for the follow

Awesome build. Sub'd for sure.

Only just got back into my E28 build. Crack free dash installed this morning.

Love the engine swap and wheels are looking mint. I should have a bought an already mint set of BBS's instead of hand polishing mine

I definitely think a 215/40 or 205/45 would be perfect after seeing that=)

It's gonna look amazing! Hurry up and get it done, all this anticipation is not healthy

Rims/tyres= potato/tomato ?

but shes looking good dude, bit less wall and she will be one with the stance gods


working for bmw do you get discounts on parts?, a while ago I rung up there parts dev
to get a price on an intake manifold gasket they wanted 90 bucks for 4 seperate cut out gaskets for the runners and a peice for 2 centeral runners with the oil return, ended up making the gaskets saved 80 bucks

What do you mean by the first comment?

haha thanks!

I get parts cheaper but a lot of the time ebay still works out cheaper. Its just nice to be able to walk into the parts at lunch time and say what I need and then have it arrive first thing the following morning (apart from uncommon parts.) So things i need in a hurry i get from work.

[DoABarrelRoll]

damn this is getting awesome!!! well done dude loving the work

[Reuvers]

Thanks.

Yeah i know how tyres work. Now you say thats pushing it i'll definitely give it a go.

haha good on ya!

I really like this build. Great attention to detail!

However getting a 195 tyre on the 10J is seriously pushing it.
Just slap on a 205-40-16. Its the hight of your current tyre (50) that's casuing it to not stretch. The hight is the percentage of the width for reference.

Thanks.
