can someone please explain how these iranian dudes are tucking so much and getting so low?! I'm just assuming there is a load of custom work involved there especially with stock fenders. Im just amazed, someone reveal their secret.

If you look closer, the 02 looks to have pig cheekish fenders at certain angles plus careful wheel/tire measurements. I'm sure smhheidari will chime in.

Hi guys,

first of all the fjord car's fenders is stock but with some artistic hammer massages!

and about the suspension specs, in Iran we make some custom shocks that we call it "Lavazemi", here is the short detail about it!

first of all cut the housing of the shock then empty the oil which is inside the cylinder of the shock then shorten the housing and the shaft depends on how much you want to go low, then fill the cylinder with custom density oil (depends of how you go low and the stiffness that you want) after that seal the housing with a big threaded nut!

also the spring rate depends on how much you want to go low!

Following pics are not for 02 but very useful to get understand about the Lavazemi shocks!

SMH Heidari: ALSO, Groma Fab guys (now Manofied) are Iranians, you guys can ask them about it!

The rims are BBS E30 Magnesium 3-Piece, and im not sure about window louver but it has BMW logo stamped on inside side!

Man, it would have been really nice to have cast molds of those fenders before he went to box flares.. Are they still around?

[eurotrash]

Early grills in a square tail too.. Hm.

What's most impressive about this car is how many hipster cliches the owner manages to fulfill at once. Although, you must dock him several points because his track bike does not have a lugged frame.

He definitely nailed almost every trendy cue, hahaha. It was taken at the USDM show over in Japan. They're all about mimicking US Fads and celebrating "USDM styling".

I'm still curious about the widths, offsets, and tire sizing.

Need "opinion" on tire size

My wife picked up a set of 15x7 ET 25 wheels...Should we go 195/45/15's or 195/50/15's the car is pictured with 14x6 185/60/14's with 5mm spacers on rear

the car has I.E. stage two's cut one coil up front and not cut in rear with no spacers...we want to avoid the "big gap" look.... I know this is just a guess but I am trying figure out the best size...thanks

I think 195/50/55 should be fine!

[oz_tom]

You could probably fit a 205/50 on the back quite easily if you wanted less "gap". The wheels can accommodate that size anyway and having run 205/50's with Superlites of a similar spec before, they will fit under your guards (and if worst comes to worse, a professional ight lip roll never hurt)

195/50 or 45 on a 7" rim is a pretty flat sidewall.

Pics will be up next week...black centers with three inch polished lip coming soon...
