Ladies and Gents opinions welcome,

Just spent the last few hours messing about with the E30 M3
Below are my wheel & tyre choices..

1- 17'' E60 wheels bored to fit my E39 also fit the E30 M3 - result.(I need skinny tyres or the tyres from the style 5's to put them on).
2 - 17'' Style 5's on the car now but an arse to keep clean and polish(corroding studs as usual).Falken 235/35/r17
3 - 18'' Rondell 58's large rears and think I need standard springs to get them to fit. 10'' rears 8.5'' fronts. the rear only just fit 5mm to spare. No tyres for the front yet. But I think I will need 225/30/r18.

Style 5 on the front & E60 wheel on the back.

Fat Euro 10'' Rondell 58 on the rear, 5mm clearance and I wont risk them without changing back to standard springs. Just put my M3 logo cill protecters on, always wanted them(And so expensive! :cry: )

Image

Overjoyed to find a minted 15'' spare in the boot , never looked until now!.

Style 5's.. Ronells would look daft on standard sus, plus be just as likely to catch due to being softer

the 5 spokes are wrong. either of the others would do.

Rondells for me but the style 5's are very nice.
