Oooh, in for pics!

[willlarney]

wow. been a while haha.

Update: wheels


18x9 & 18x11. not sure exactly but they're low offsets. I'll post many more pictures when i get them all mounted up

[willlarney]

monzas sitting flush is gonna look dope

my bad, i'm not getting the monza's anymore. totally different wheels. i'll post up when i get em.

[willlarney]

Scrapped the dumb idea i had to flip the style 5 barrels. was going to run 17 inch monza's to stay low but I just don't think 17s would cut it for long. here's a photoshop of the monza's i was going to buy and rebuild:


BUT I found a better deal on some 18s that are a perfect fit. i'll update whenever i get my hands on those wheels

[willlarney]

ok after thinking about how much **** i'm gonna receive for flipping my style 5s, i'm just gonna scrap the stupid flipped barrel idea and find some real wheels. more updates when i'm not poor.

[MommysLittleMonster]

Please don't do this, 195s? now that's stupid

I'm gonna have to agree with this statement. 195/40's on a 5-series will look beyond silly, especially since you won't have any depth behind the face of the wheel.

[Stupid Kid]

YOOO those are so silly that it's cool. and yeah the wheels are gonna look pretty stupid from behind for awhile. that is until i find some new icy rimtendoz

I love them haha, the slammed 90's stepside mexican trucks with 15x10's and weird body kids and altezza tails are even cooler. No racism intended at all that's just where the style is from.

Go for it its definitely different. Just id be a bit careful because even e39's with 15's came with 225s at the minimum, coupled with the fact that your suspension is way stiffer than stock, its a pretty heavy car and the rolling diameter of 195/40 on a 17 is way smaller than the stock setup (dsc doesn't like that I hear) it may be really sketchy to drive aggressively, if the tires break grip traction control might not do its job and since you're probably running moderately sticky tires it'll be a bit sudden and hard when they do break what grip they have...

like i said go for it but don't die!

[royalife]

thats pretty cool! i honestly dont think it'll look too ridiculous if you pull the fenders. im actually kinda stoked to see how itll look with both back wheels reversed and fenders pullled!

[willlarney]

No camber arms as far as I know, the bushings are expensive and don't give you much adjustment too, (or at least that's what I read). Pull your fenders that will get you a lot farther

It'll look mean from the side but goofy from behind because you've got 195's on the rear a car that can fit 295's easy with just a roll.

17x8s with 5.5 inch lips is going to look like the "mexi" civics we get down here with 13 inch reverse mount daytons.








Have fun tho don't die

[milwaukeeandy]

wow, now those are some lips

[willlarney]

had a bit of free time lately. so i took one of my wheels apart and reverse mounted it to see how ridiculous the 5 1/2 inch lips would look.

heres the front, note that the camber is maxed out negative. not sure exactly how many degrees it is.



and the rear:


The rears absolutely do not fit. So i'm either going to save up for camber bushings, orrr does anybody make camber arms for e39?

obviously getting smaller tires as soon as i have the money. Going to run 195/40s

[willlarney]

any updates?

I'll have some updates sometime this week. i've spent the past week in Islamorada with my whole family for Christmas---- which was incredible. Just got back tonight. Gonna order stiffer springs sometime soon.
