Little update here. So yesterday I managed to install some DIY 30mm fender spacers that I got from my local hardware store. Can't really tell because I have my OEM wheels on but I mounted the new wheels and the fitment is fairly mint with the spacers on...
Pic of the spacers
I also got around doing the brake pads and rotors today, and decided to paint the grill while I was out there.
Little mock up, had to order different lug studs because my oem 400e ones were too long, This is with the adapters on but jacked up. If the wheels were mounted and I lowered the jack I would be tucking wheel, Which I am VERY happy about...
Zoom into that last pic to see the goodness

Small update, just ordered some springs from Swift in CA. I will be running 34K all around. I just need to pick up some cheap e36 coils so I can get started on the front. All of these parts are adding up to look pretty rad in my head. Should be mounting the wheels this week, I'll post pics when I do. I just need the rear swift springs so I can install my camber arms because if I run stock cut springs I will bash my beautiful camber arms and I don't want order another set of those haha.

damn clever idea with the fender spacers. Never realized the 190e had such ugly factory arches until reading that thread LOL! keep up the good work dude.

Anyways...I've got a small update. These came....
I also got around to fixing my front left headlight lean, nothing a hammer and a flathead couldn't fix.
BUT Now I have another issue... the heads on my lug bolts won't clear the mounting point on the adapters! So I am probably just going to hit them with my angle grinder and make them work haha, unless anyone has a better idea.

So the weather in my town has been a little crazy lately...
Haven't been able to do much because of it and I don't have a proper garage to work in so I have been sporadically installing various parts and its about to actually come together! It turns out the Swift 6 inch springs were a little too short and would have lowered the car too much (It takes a LOT for me to say that.) It would have rubbed constantly and I needed to find a solution, So I did. Turns out I had a set of e36 weight jacks form my last build that I didn't even bother trying to use in storage! So I drove all the way to my unit and sure enough, to the millimeter, they fit like a glove and I will be able to run them! They are so beautiful...
The fitment is absolutely perfect, mind-blown by it.
Here's a little shot of her as she sits right now. I'm liking this car more and more everyday.
ALSO, To anyone interested, I am selling these Raceland USA rear e36 shocks. I will literally let these go for close to nothing, you just gotta pay for shipping. Let me know! I also have a set of e36 front helper springs as if anyone wants them but they are yours for 10$ more.
