Re-Birth of a once famous E38

^What he said!^
That is one of the best wheels, stance, and car combo I've seen yet!!! Like, my jaw fell... Those are incredible...

[axelillo_PR]

Mmmmm best e30 m3 ever

[KarlSpackler]

Looks great!

May I ask what kind of wheels are on the M in your sig? They look amazing...

Sure, they were 17" SSR Formula Mesh with stepped lips

Looking good. And it looks about as dirty as mine. :P

Ya, finishing my basement so sawdust is everywhere

Well, worked on it some more today. I couldn't get the eccentric bolts to break loose. I now have 8 bloody knuckles..... only the thumbs saved grace. Anyway, so no more rear camber for me. I have the rear wheels off to have 5mm shaved off of the backpads so they will fit properly.

I also replaced the driverside rear door bottom seal and took off the passenger sideskirt that is falling off.

Also, I realized the wheel shop didn't screw anything up. I mounted both of the right side on the rear and both of the left side in the front............ that doesn't work. So, after I get the rears back I need to swap the driver rear face for the passenger side front face and then all will be well in the world again.

Oh, snapped this with my awesome cell phone. Again, couldn't be happier with the look

looks so awesome with those Wheels !

Are they Federal 595s? If so, what are the sizes of the wheels and tyres? I'm interested to know what size 595s you need to achieve that much stretch because they are a good looking tyre but are very wide in comparison to most other brands.

Ya, 595SS. 10" fronts with 225/35/19 and 12" rear with 265/30/19

Wheels are 19x10-7 and 19x12 +8

[electricalbox]

Yes, yes, yes, and yes!

Loving this build man.

[247Automotive]

EPIC. What are your final sizes and offsets?

[Minuki]

Oh man. That looks soo good

[KarlSpackler]

1 more from the rear

[EvilIntentions]

Wow! Honestly, I did not see the HREs working as well as they do on the e38, especially with flat lips, but DAMN! Love where this is headed!

[KarlSpackler]

Here are some crappy photos of a very dirty car. And yes, I understand that the wheel shop did the front wheels the wrong direction.... it will be fixed.










I love it. I need to lower the car in the front some more and need to shave another 5-8mm off of the back pads in the rear so when the suspension flexes the lip goes up into the fender.... not hit the fender like it does now. First though I am going to crank the camber bolts in the rear to max out the camber and see where that gets me in the rear.

Other than that, its pimp
