UPDATE on my E36 (got my vans on but they look like my wheels?)

[MikeG]

I love those wheels as is....can you post some better pics those are tiny as fuck

[BeemerBuyer]

205's are a little too skinny for my tastes, on an e36 at least. What coils you running?

205 is the stock tire size for the E36 3 series.

Looking good Dan!! I like what you did with them personally! keep it up mang.

Ill post better pics once I get everything together. Still waiting on all new tires and trying to find a fender roller. This was just a test fit.

Thanks dude, they were shot with your camera

Heres some bigger pictures of the fitment on the front and rear. Front has a 8mm spacer, rear has no spacer.

Do you have any pictures with 215's?

I sold the M3, old pic. Heres the 215's on 17" e46 reps



Little bit of stretch, but if you want more go with 205/40s, plently of guys with them, check out slamdm3 when he was on style 5's or daredrocket on his Msystems if you want to see what it looks like.

^Thanks, I have yet to see a decent picture of stretch on SeanDub style 5s. All the pictures he posted you really cant see the stretch.

Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

[e36cruiser]

I already ordered some 12mm spacers from Brian and will be at my house tomorrow. As for tires, hopefully I will orderer some falken 512 205/40 this week. Just need $320 lol

[EThirtySicks]

Agreed, but 215 don't give me the stretch im looking for. And im on racelands.

How do you like those? Aren't the springrates hella soft or something?



Kinda irrelevant because I just ordered some FKs, but I'm just curious

They're not to bad actually. Before the coilovers I had koni springs (for sale btw ) on stock struts. When I took them off, the struts were blown with almost no fluid left in them. So going from a blown set up with lowering springs to new coilovers and mounting bearings made them feel amazing. I never had stock suspension so I really cant compare the two. As for the spring rates being soft, the rear is actually pretty stiff (I cant compress the spring by just pushing on the trunk), unlike my lowering springs + stock struts. The front is where you can really feel the sofness of the springs. They are a little bouncy but Ive gotten use to it within a day. I drove with the rear and front completly down with stock 15in tires and never bottomed out. Overall for them being a under $300 coilover set up, im more then happy with them.

I was pinching money and when my dad asked me what I wanted for christmas, I just asked for racelands since they were cheap. I plan on upgrading to GC within the next two years or going with a bagover set up. Spring rates are defiantly the only con on these tho, but these are good for now.

Just a little sneak peak of what I did today. Im planning on putting the caps back on the style 19 wheels. Looks better IMO. But after buying the spacers and tires, plus having to pay for getting my car inspected I ran out of money for real BBS center caps. So I present you with Louis Vuitton center caps. Black on the front, white on the rear. Or something like that.

cmon man, fake louie?

i think there are things on the car that need more attention than ridiculous wheel colors.

like sawblades more than style 19????
