I think the rears are 255's, and I rubbed with 235s, so we'll see Moar pics when I'm home. They may get mocked up on moms Z3 if they don't fit on mine. I think the rear tires need to be roasted __________________ 1995 318TI base. 95 2.5L from 325IS. S50 cams+pistons, e36 M3 front brakes. H&R race springs F+R.

I'm at 8.5" right now, and it's like 1-2cm away from the fender. Pay the shop a few to do it for you. They'll use a head gun to keep the paint from cracking, then roll it very slowly. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt Quote: From the e30 M3, evolved the e36.

I've got a heat gun, and the paint isn't all that great, so I'm not too worried. I can't wait to mock them up, they're gonna look SO much better than my Fox Evo 6's. __________________ 1995 318TI base. 95 2.5L from 325IS. S50 cams+pistons, e36 M3 front brakes.

Your current 5 spokes don't look that bad at all really. I like em. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt Quote: From the e30 M3, evolved the e36.

I'm ready for summer, sick of school __________________ 1995 318TI base. 95 2.5L from 325IS. S50 cams+pistons, e36 M3 front brakes. H&R race springs F+R.

I'm running 18/8.5/225 all around with a slight drop, and I dont rub at all, did not roll my fenders. I also have 17X9 rims that fit in fine, but I do not know about if they were 18s. I think you should be fine though, you got all 4 with tires for 180? Better deal than what I got for my 18s | | | 03-30-2009, 12:55 PM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | 225/40, 255/35, youll be fine. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 03-30-2009, 06:56 PM | #15 | doesn't care about you.
