And lower the car again

The fronts look good because it's absurdy low, rears look too small though, I think they'd need to be 16s in those widths to pull it off.
cheers,

Thats my style
As much as I like 'pinas, RS/RMs look better, and when they're that wide.....
Why would you have to sell the kit and wheels?
Uni is killing the project.

RM012's those, they're such a lovely wheel despite being a poor mans RS, they look like 8's vs the standard 6.5" standard (6" with 0.5" lip) the standard ET is 33 on these, with the 2" lips added the ET will be around the ET17 mark... Lovely looking wheels as I said, but your sump will literally be dragging along the road with 15"s that looooow lol.

That's the trouble with 15s on an e30, you either have to use balloon tyres, or risk taking the sump
off on catseyes otherwise you get a large arch gap.
I've yet to see a uk e30 properly pull off a set of wide 15in RS or RMs
cheers,
harry

Yes remove the tech 2 side pods and leave the bumpers!!
16 inch RS splitties are the only way i reckon!!!

What width are your 16's? I'm guessing 8J ?
Mine are 7J but yours look wider.
I want to widen mine, that's why I'm asking. Yours look like a nice fit at the front.
Are the side profiles on your tires 45's or 50's ?
Anyone who knows of an S50 B32/B30 E30 for sale, please let me know.

This is how BBS RS's are supposed to look. I dont like like ones with massive dishes where it ends up destrying the ride and handling.

That's what I've got on mine:

But yours look wider.
I got 205/40's all around though. Big Mistake !

Rav I know under the front etc2 spoiler will be a facelift valance, but since yours was originally a chromie cabby does it still have a chromie rear valance, or has that been cut out and a facelift item welded on?
If it is a chromie rear valance, I would be getting rid of the tec2 kit and going back to chrome bumpers with BBS RM splits.

Anyone got the specs of those RMs in the 1st post?
Im after a similar stance but was originally going for 16s as i thought 15s looked too small on low pro's but this may have changed my mind.
Looks mint.
