Car looks great, give those taillights a red tint. It looks cleaner that way!

Grtz

Got tint waiting at home so will be getting done ASAP!

So fresh and so clean !

Thanks!

Damn that's sick! Love the wheels and the fitment.

Did you have to do some modifications in the front wheel wells? I have bags on my e92 and I was trying 215/40-18 tires, but they were to tall to make it go low enough. The frame is resting on the tires leaving a 13mm gap from fender to wheel lip. Oh, and what tire sizes do you have?

All depends on what wheel width you've got I'm running 9j with a 205 40 up front and a 10j 215 40 out back and only rolled my rear arches, didn't pull them just rolled.

Hope that helps sounds like you need a smaller tyre and a 12mm spacer or 15mm and some camber

The rear is not a problem. But when I air out the frame in the top of the front wheel well lays down on the tire. I've ordered 225/35 to see if that helps.

I thought you had the same issue after reading this:

Ripping out the front arch liners as that's what's holding me up on the front and then should be laying frame....

I thought you had the same issue after reading this:

I thought it was the inner arches holding me back but it was just the tyre I was running I needed more stretch to get it lower. I went to remove the inner liners on the front but it exposes a lot of wiring and metal which is only primered so I left them in. Have you got pictures?

[Frode D]

My fronts were 215/40 on 9.5j et19, but switching to 225/35 so it should be plenty stretch. Hoping it's enough.
Don't have any pictures..

That is just perfection!

Awh yeah buddy. think it would benefit from black grilles, just my 2 cents, looking pretty perfect right now though.

Thanks a lot!

I've been thinking about black grills but the chrome goes with the lips of the wheels so don't think black would suit??
