Hi, this is my mates e30,
have a look , i think it's not too bad for Ukrainian Enthusiasts :D
press on the link , or copy , paste

the problem is that he used e36 front legs and now the front is wider than the rear axel, he needs ET 42 at least on the front and 23 , 25 at the back ,
but he thinks that if he fits 1" inch outer rim , (his current is 2,5") he will narrow the track , not realy all he will do is shrink the tyre ,
am i right?

Very nice! The stance and track look fine to me, and as long as it handles OK, I wouldn't say there is a problem. Don't forget, many Citroens had a wider front track than the rear as standard, and their handling is reknowned as being pretty good.

The bonnet looks well gay but other than that looks like a right beast, very nice

I dare say that was the only way to mount that multipoint NOS injection system :twisted: I'm Guessing S50/52 engine

Looks like a very well built car :cool: after all that time and effort though I'd have done the 5 lug conversion properly. Good to see more BBS wheels with the correct size tyres on and none of this streeeeetched look

Very nice!

If he reduces the width of the outer rim by 1.5" it will increase the ET number of the wheel by 0.75" (19mm) as the ET measurement is taken from the centre of the wheel (between inner and outer rims) to the hub mounting face.

THANKS GARRETH, i just thought that only changes to the size of the inside rim can make the ET vairy ,
