e46 - budget ballin

[MadMax]

you can quite easily put some 205 or 215/40 17 on 8.5 Inch wide wheels...

17s can work on E46s...but you have to be really low to make it look really good. I tried 17s an i´m not low enough to make em look good...so i´m going with 18s next year...

I don't know that I totally understand your questions, but I'll try my best

1. most people do run 18s on an e46
2. 235/40/17 aren't going to be a problem assumingh your wheels are a good offset but they aren't going to be stretched at all.

17s look really small on e46s unless you run meatier tires than you plan to or unless you're really low

Thanks bro this is the first response i actually got lol.


I want to run 18s but I don't want to deal with a lot of fender roll and I do live in Los Angeles so rub is going to be an everyday thing. I know y'all are gonna kill me but I'm not looking to go that low, I'm just trying to max out negative camber in the rear. I got coilovers cause I end up wanting to go wayyyy low tho


so i can run even more stretched tires? imma run kosei's with a 2XX/40/17 offset and imma pu em on them with 20mm spacers

(I'm sorry I'm such a nub but whats the 40/17 i see some people run em at like 35/20 or some shit)


but ur kinda saying stretchin 17's on a e46 looks to small tho rite?
I should just opt for the 18's and die on tire rub and destroy my fenders?


da looks kill

not even sure why I'm posting here... haha i think is a more a journal of my accomplishments.

interior of the car was junk for a something that was once valued at over 28-30stacks
so I did some cleaning, and tried to install my aux cable i got on eBay.

need a new steering wheel. my interiors so dirty.... pillars are bad too....



took off trim, cause i was going to install aux... but i found out my aux cord was defective. got ocd and started taking everything apart to clean it.



Center console filthy... might buff the whole thing with steel wool or something and cover the seatbelts in alacatra


defective aux cable...


Ordering a new aux cable and cleaning everything individually.
Was thinking about an arm rest delete, never use the compartment and always fight with the passenger and get in my way haha

I swear pics of the outside coming soon + more info

watup yall,

Got an e46 as a hand me down (I'm blessed), and right now I'm a measly college student with a little bit of cash just tryin to flex. Ive loved the stanced look from day one and dropped my first car a 1991 volvo .

As of right now I have some Street Edge Coilovers coming in. Pics and Install coming, but I'm prolly gonna need y'all to help me. (the only thing major thing I have done is replace the power steering pump)

Im working on getting some Kosei K1's 17 x 8.5. Anyone run 18s? really wanna run 235/40-17
whats a good stretch on those bros?

Pics of the car coming soon
