From Bags To Riches - Austin Norton's E36 M3

[OEM+ sluts]

Now to figure out what tires to run...

215/40 - 18x9.5 Front
235/40 - 18x10.5 Rear

Maybe something with a little more meat...hmmm

Perhaps throw the 225s that were on the front to the rear as the azenis run wide and compared to some cheaper 245s i had on the side a while back. and if you want the tires i took from you, ill trade you back since i wont be using them..

funny the day after the wheels leave my possession, i get offered a totally ridiculous deal on a 99 m3.. which means that set #2 in the states may have to go 17x9.5/10.5

Not to thread jack but is this why you're selling the miata?

Ayyy thanks, excited to get it in front of your lens!

I'm still surprised they're in my possession, considering they were for sale for so long

As of right now, I'm content with the 40 series. I'll most likely switch to a 35 down the road

Had the tires mounted yesterday after work. I ended up raising all four corners about
an inch or so. It'll take some time to get everything dialed in just right. I need to order
a set of adjustable control arms & we'll be set.

The rain stopped me from getting any decent pictures but here are a few...

Those wheels are so nice! Good luck getting everything dialed in, can't wait to see it.

Too bad the rieger lip is no more.. Still looks dope man

[lamsv]

Absolutely beautiful.

Thanks guys!

Honestly, I've been so wrapped up in other s*** that nothing seems to get done
on this car. I only have 1 or 2 nights a week to work on it but things are starting
to come together....slowly.

The Megan Racing adjustable control arms arrived yesterday. Should have time
to install them this weekend. Overall, great quality at a fair price. I'm happy.

I'm actually in the process of plastic welding/repairing the GT lip...should turn out ok.
