Not saying you should have haha, just that you could have if you wanted to. 15's have a lot of clearance with a stretched tire.

15's allow you to go so low. I love it. You could have gone even lower up front.

not a damn chance, that was a genuine N1 GTR bumper and it was pretty trashed, sod replacing that. plus I daily drove that and I had to remove the bumper every time I got home to get on and off the drive, plus work car park had speedbumps so it literally just survived being that low, if anything I would rather a larger profile front tyre, keep the same height of bumper to the ground but lower it to have better wheel/arch fitment.

Alive and well.

YES love this, I also dig small wheels on Jap cars, I used to have an R32 Skyline on 15s.

If I ever own another s chassis it will be on 15's for sure, my personal favorite is Zenki S14's that are slammed on 15's

I agree. I think small wheels look great on a lot of early 90's cars. One that I think particularly looks good is a s13 with proper 15" wheels. Everybody is so infatuated with putting 18" wheels on them anymore, I can't stand to see most builds like that. Ive noticed a lot of people have lost touch with the roots of Japanese car modification, and it's sad to see unfortunately. Of course this is just my opinion, so please take it with a grain of salt.

My car is on 15's.. love the old school look on e36's.. if we were close id let you test fit the ten wides

[xxcody2130xx]

Small wheels are my favorite, seriously considered going 15's or 16's on my e36

So I made a purchase...

I bought some wheels that I really like, but not a lot of people run them. Yes they're old, yes they're Japanese, yes they're small... However they're not any of the wheels I was originally going to buy. They're made by Yokohama. I got them for a very good deal and I'm VERY excited to get these and start the restoration process! I'm going to contact Pine Engineering about some lips for a resize. That will likely be a few months from now but bear with me, the build is starting to get exciting!

Here's a picture of the wheels, more to come!
