Azev A's

Planning these for my SE, lowered 40mm all round - would 8 x 17 fit ok or would I need arch mods?

Looking at a few sites (German I think) and most azevs on these cars seem to have bigger lips

Have a look - http://www.schwarzone.de/e30/fotost/f00403/asslar02.htm

There are 2 different types of wheels in the pictures. Azev A and Brock B1's. The reason the German cars look like they have bigger lips is because they alwas run 9" or 10" wide rear rims.

Ah, cheers bootyman

Cool idea, is that legal here though?

I wouldn't recomend 10's as you will need some serious arch work. You can however get away with the 9" with a simple arch roll. I've had it before and i never got any trouble from the cops. I think a couple of other peeps on the forum are running 9" wide rears as well.
