325i Touring with new Borbet 9x16 rears. 9!

[touringsport]

OH ME OH MY! new wheels are on, and i'm pretty goshdarn excited!
What do you guys reckon? the 9 inch rears took some squeezing in, but it was worth it oui?

[dazleeds]

i reckon you should swap the front 9s for my 7.5s

looking good mate

[boxclever1753]

WOW

looks great mate - what is the ride like?

[toby]

They look wild. A front shot of the car would be good.

Is it just the photo or does that have a lot of negative rear camber? Won't that eat rear tyres?

[ed325i]

I love borbet A's
It looks great

[maxfield]

Whats that drop

[Pal318is]

They look the biz The drop looks spot on too...how low?

Pal

[SHAZ325iSPORT]

that looks sweet mate,whats the drop and did you do any arch work?

thats some serious negative camber

[riklusby]

Always thought these wheels suit E30s, nice one m8

[touringsport]

Thanks for your comments- its lowered by 40mm (pi springs+shocks) fitted by the previous owner. The rear looks more like 60 tho, the arches needed FULLY rolling.
By rolling i mean, rolled until they wont roll no longer, and then hammered with a hide mallet to finish!
There is a LOT of neg camber, been looking into the best way of cancelling this- eccentric bushes?
Only trouble is, with out the camber, the tyres would probably scrub!
Need to start slowing down on spending tho, already bought-
H+R anti roll bar kit front and rear
Polybushes (various)
Big Bore throttle body
K+N filter
Supersprint exhaust
Wheels and tyres
Dab cd player/changer
Strut brace
Clear indicators

Any ideas on that camber>?

[ChizFab]

theres links to the solutions on here mate do a search up top.

mines down 60 at the back and eats tyres big time, crazy camber looks cool tho lol

[shane325i]

Stunning mate,really really nice job!

[aceraf]

looks stunning, love the wheels, and really suit the car!!!!

[Pal318is]

Go with the eccentric bushes and then maybe take the ride up a bit, on the rear...

Can't really think how else, you can resolve the negative issue...

Pal

[ric325i]

oh god the tourer looks good!

brave i mean really brave but once done it will be MEGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks almost perfect.

i say for the camber you need special cone shaped tyres so you can keep the ridicules camber and dont have painful tyre wear.

but i dont think they sell cone shaped tyres?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Borbet A's rule!!!

[e30-320i]

i want those wheels
not seen a set go for less than i paid for my car yet though

[Cotty]

I love borbet A's

Same here, nearly went for a set before getting the Hartge's

Looking good

[Simon13]

looks fat as!

as for the neg camber, think your gonna have to live with it. The eccentric bushes would help alot, but the rims will be making love to the arch.

loads of money on flared arches? then fit the bushes but this is going to cost loads. I'd just leave it, my touring is lower than yours and i too have loads of camber but i'm using 15bbs as it's setup for track/fastroad use rather than looks!

Is it just the photo or does that have a lot of negative rear camber? Won't that eat rear tyres?

mines worse

ditto... I bet mine is worserer than yours though.

Looking good... A's look the mutts on e30's.

[kam325itouring]

yo dude looks phat!!! whats the off set of the rears and also what tyre size did you use???

[SamE30]

That looks the titties!

[touringsport]

Hi mate, the offset on the back is et20 i think, or et 15. The tires are 215/40/16's, and they are STRETCHED . Thats what the company recommended for arch clearance tho, and grips like a motherhubbard.
Just loading up some bettercs, will post when theyve loaded.

[touringsport]

Lower than a badgers nadgers

[slinky2000]

oh wow mate they are sweet

[Giggz]

Borbet A's look lovely on your touring mate. Nice match up.

[Rawhide]

I like the fog lamps.

[cossiecrew]

ive been thinking about going down this route on mine but using azevs front 16x7.5 rear 9x16 do they not catch at all ?

[raulandthetwins]

That looks spot on, so good i need some in my life! where did ya get them, i've seen in german mags and demon tweeks do them for vw?????????

[touringsport]

Nope, no catching at all cossiecrew- althought i've only had on person in the back so far.........
Have to see!
I got the wheels from www.raceandroad.com, i'm sure they do them for vw's, i think ive seen a set on a mk1 golf gti. Fat

[cossiecrew]

cheers mate
