[rattyruss]

Just one Q for you... 13's "WHY"

[georob]

dont think so

[dips346]

no ,unless you take your brakes off

[ImysE30]

14" is the lowest

[rattyruss]

14"" ok cool thanks everyone!! oh and pics of the chromie sooon!!

[miniblob]

I've thought about 13's before and i remember someone telling me they tried, but they wouldn't fit over the brakes!!

I see you're line of thinking though!!!!!

[rattyruss]

yeah i wish they fitted!!! but will have to do with 14"

[ImysE30]

Why would you want to 13" wheels?

11" is where it's at!








That's what she said...

Lol!!!! I've got some 10" wellers lying around if you wanna get creative!!!!

[Ziggy]

Nice idea, but sadly BMW fitted 14" minimum for a reason

I wonder how much work it'd be to get small enough brakes on there! Must be some aftermarket stuff that works well but fits under a 13" rim - plenty of the VW boys still run them...

[miniblob]

True - you can get disc brake setups for mini's (old skool) that allow 10" wheels!! Pretty sure they're 4x100 too!!!!

E30 could go proper low on little rims like that!!

And look awful

[Ziggy]

I think 10"s might be going a bit far!

not to mention the oil pan scraping the road whenever the car is moving...

at least the oil pan of an M40.

if you could get them to fit, I reckon some 13" ATS Classics on a chromie slammed into the weeds would make me do a really thick pish

[Ollie_bwoii]

14"" ok cool thanks everyone!! oh and pics of the chromie sooon!!

How soon! What colour is it? 4dr/2dr etc.......

OOH I realy can't wait for pictures of a chromie!

The new chrome deviant

[rattyruss]

its 2door in white !! its got a 60mm lowering kit on it at the mo but i am goin to cut them to get it lower!!! got to love the slammed e30's


pics when its lower !! and my computer is working!!

[Ziggy]

Nice wide dished 14"s then? I'm not keen on classics on an E30 Lee, but something old skool like that'd work!

Fair play on going low, but you do realise there'll be issues?! Like loads of neg camber on the back, no suspension travel on the front and no clearance on the sump? Looking forward to seeing the pics though!!

[rattyruss]

yeah man i know but just love it !! ha next step after lowering more is the wheels ... so nice dished 14's all the way!!

[ImysE30]

Love to see pics of that

[Ollie_bwoii]

WOW I can't wait for pics!

Just curious what reg plate is ti and what wheels is it sitting on at the moment?

And imy i'll never go as far as putting chrome arches on an E30!

Be warned it has eyebrows!

It's a 320i with an IS interior and was for sale last year for around £900 iirc! GORGEOUS if a little council!

Don't cut the springs!

Can E21 parts be adapted to fit an E30 for 13" wheel fitment?
