My E28 Build Thread Thing

[mojocoggo]

I don't really know how to build thread, but I don't give a turkey and I'm going to post a bunch of stuff in here.

Here's my E28. 1985 535i 5-speed on the left. My roommate's is on the right.








More from the day I got it:

Then I picked up these wheels for it.






They are 16x8 and 16x9 with perfect offsets! Then I had to go and ruin it by buying a BMW with a 5x120 bolt pattern instead of 5x114.3. Enter 1.25" thick adapters.





The resulting setup is 16x8 ET-31 195/50 and 16x9 ET-18 205/45.
I'm going to have a tough time getting these to fit properly, and I may be switching to smaller tires up front. I'll probably require camber plates, which means I'll need coilovers up front so I can use the smaller 2.5" diameter springs.

Can't see the back very wel, but the front definitly needs sum smaller tyres!

i wanna see it with the wheels on it yo. but looks nice and clean

[Carter N]

Some flares might help with that poke ;D looks good!

[Jorge]

I really want to see the fitment of those. Could you not go for a thinner adapter? Heard them down to 15-20mm before so would bring those offsets in another 10mm.

need more piczzzzzz

[slimadi]

Looks good but we need back and side shots

[Zack01GC]

Perhaps smaller adapters? I think they make them in 20mm thickness or less

[B Rod]

Couldnt stay away from E28s eh?

[fuhfuh.Focus]

Clean E28 man, awesome pictures too.

[Kielan]

Oh yeah, this will be awesome man. Can't wait to see what you do with it. I'm sure you will be able to figure out how to fit those wheels.

[Slow_Ballin']

Nice progress! Keep us updated!

[mojocoggo]

Little bit of progress made, got some smaller adapters. Now it's time to go hard in the paint and get the fenders rolled.
