LOVE the rears, but the front are too far out for my liking. Sweet cab though.

Very nice. But to be honest I think it looked better like this.

It was a stunning cabby at this stage imo. I really am not a big fan of tec2 kits.

I think it looks awesome, mate! I don't normally like white E30s but this looks spot on!
Just needs its chrome kidney replaced, IMHO :)

^^A bit abrupt barry but wheels this wide on a e30 do spoil the ride.

looks like one of those "Kool art" cars - wheels are too much IMO - thought if the wheels stuck outside the arches its illegal ?

It is.

tyres sticking out past the arches is illegal, due to spray etc, wheels not. thats what stretched tyres and flared arches are for! apparently :)

thanks for the coments ppl it interesting to see what everyone thinks and zizzle thanks for posting up the pics, getting a set of borbet b in 17" on a 4x100 fitment isnt easy so had to settle for these 10's, the ride is actually quite smooth using fk shocks and springs with a 60/40 drop, rears im running 235/40/17 with 10mm spacer and fronts 215/45/17 with 20mm spacer, think the wheels are et13.

is there a need for the 20mm spacers on the front? i think it would look better without, as the front wheel seem to stick out further in the pics. still looks killer regardless!

I think the rears look spot on, not convinced by the fronts though, just a bit too pokey and I have a personal disslike for arches with the lips totally rolled out, they never seem to curve quite right so I prefer a more standard looking pull.

I dont no i kinda like it but the front rims are to wide iv a set a 8j ones here that would look so much better fitted to the front of your car.

Iv also the 10j ones for the rear. winkeye

haha, too late to put thiner wheels on the front now that the arches have been made to fit over the 10's! the picture doesnt do it justice it has to be seen in person, i should be down the next ace cafe bm night meet if anyone wants to have a look. now next thing on the list red leathers!!!

+1

anything over 9j on rear of an e30 looks wrong

and as for the front 8j looks ok but again 10j nooooooooo :?

lovely looking cab and great wheels but with that offset as barry says it must be horrible to drive
