I've secretly always wanted a wagon, so I bought a 1981 300TD W123

        Thanks man! I really need to order spacers, like front wheels are scrubbing tie rods while turning. But priority is a set of gross aftermarket headlights from Germany to retrofit bixenon projectors into.. My priorities are questionable.

          Nice, I love wagon, did you notice a good difference by switching out the old speakers with new ones? The speakers in the e30 suck and I don't want to run amps or a sub as of yet. Thinking about just doing a deck and speakers like you

            So your car is pretty happy with the wheel sizes and ET?

            I have a w123 300d sedan and have been looking at a set of 17x7.5 ET35 up front and a 17x8.5 ET35 out back?

            Any input or thoughts on that?

            Car is gorgeous, I wish mine was a TD.

              I think you'll end up needing spacers front and rear with those offsets. My fronts are 17x8 et38 and the scrape they tie rods when turning. My rears are 17x9 et30 and you can't stick a piece of paper between my inner wheel well and my wheel. Hope that helps.

                      I used a krylon gloss grey from home-depot, I think I may go darker when I get my next set of headlights for a project.

                                How did the rear speaker install go? Im gonna go with boston acoustic S45 on the front as they go right in and have no issue with the grill. I have scoured the net trying to find a newer post about this and yours is the very recent. Any info you could provide would be great!
