pulling off 16s on an e36

[Earl]

it looks like you have gap, yet your sideskirt is on the ground.

You physically can't get sideskirts on the ground unless you cut away your frame rails and box them in.

Looking good OP. In for larger lips

[Nick475]

i like the 16's. just make em wider!

Unfortunately. That is what I am working on right now.

I dont know why my earlier post got delete but defiantly liking them. They do need a re-finish and wider lips. but with some good ole 3" lips all around that wheel will be awesome

[Tylerhasaphone.]

I think it works! Wider lips would help, but it doesnt look bad as is!

Based on the new pictures, you can definitely lower it more. Id do it. Tuck more of the tire get those lips nice and snug with those fenders.

i could with the rear, but if i got the front that low, it would be literally on the ground and not driveable. im all for being millimeters from the ground, but if i get the front lip to be snug with the fender, it would be constant scrape and im not that cool. the rear will probably come down at some point. but i like how the lip to fender gap is even all around.

Proper 16inch stance on e36.

Needs more low and less poke.

I like my 16's.

^ those fronts cry out for bigger lips. I still think the poke is necessary to make it work on 16. both these cars are static that i've posted.

[ilikebrownies]

I think poke looks like garbage most times. Evil pandas car is my "inspiration" i thought he was on 17s but now i know. Definitely the best looking on 16s by far imo.

That is what these are for

What was your offset before those lips?

I had smaller lips and barrels (16x7 et+11), but the fronts are now 16x8.5 et-8, rears are 16x9.5 et+4 i believe.

I like smaller wheels and more beefy tires in general than wheels too big and stretched rubber bands. 16s can def look sweet, just gotta be low.

Here is my 95 Dakar on BBS RS 211 16x8 et11 w 215/45/16 DZ101s. Fit well, didn't rub much (rolled and lil pull in back).
