Today was nice so I decided to do some test fitting. I sold these wheels to a buddy a few months ago with the intention of parting out or selling my E36 since the transmission was going out. But after a fluid change (royal purple ftw) the problem I was having was fixed so I bought the wheels back and started my original plan 
. So grab some food and sit back and enjoy. PS. I know my wheels/car is dirty and there is no air in my tire.
Heres my car. 1993 325is Laguna Grun with 152xxx miles on her already. Theres a bunch of performance mods that I already done. The paint is shitty but after talking to my grandpa and telling him I fixed my car, he decided to help me with repainting her. In the right light, the car has a blueish tint so im hopping to make that blue pop more when I go repaint her. He is also helping me re-do the interior. Im thinking dark grey with grey burberry plaid headliner, door stills, and pillers. Along with Corbeau FX1 seats.
Here is the front on BBS style 19 17x8 et20. There is cheap pepboys 8mm spacer on there now and it is already almost flush. This worries me because I just placed a order from Rotiform (highly recommend btw) for studs, 12mm spacers all around, and hubcentric rings. Ill probably have to run a few degrees of negative camber and pull/roll the fenders.
Here is the coilover, spacer, and clearance under the car. The coilover still has 10 threads left so there is plenty of room to make it lower. I scrape the exhaust every time I pull out/in my drive way haha. Im going to go as low as possible once I get the wheels mounted. The pepboys spacer is all out fail. It makes the wheel unbalanced so anything past 40mph turns the steering wheel into a hi-performance sex toy
. I had to use painters tape to keep them semi centered on the hub while I put on the wheels.
This is my rear. Coilover is all the way down and there is no spacer, but that will change once my 12mm spacers come from Rotiform this Tuesday. Its not as low as I like, so i will probably take out the adjuster to get to the height im setting myself for. Ill will defiantly have to run some negative camber and do a lot of fender pulling and rolling. Good stuff tho.
My tires are Nitto Neogen 205/40. As you can see, the stretch is almost un-noticable, especially in person. Hopefully I will get enough income tax back to get Falken 512 in 205/40 since they stretch a lot better.
Thats about it. After seeing the wheels Ive been working on since before christmas on the car, I realized I don't like the colors haha. After I get the fitment on point im going to redo them, and I have something up my sleeve for this time Next time I post in this section will be a full photo shoot with everything mounted.
