tires and wheels "The Stance Thread"

[Frenchee]

Past:

- Unknown aftermarket springs

- US-spec strut top spacers removed

- No camber anything

- Cromodora CD-36s, 13x5.5, ET18

Present:

- Again, unknown aftermarket springs

- Still no camber plates

- American Racing AR-24, 14x6, unknown offset, dirty

- 1/4" spacers in front

Future:

- Some kind of known aftermarket spring

- Some semblance of camber (-.5° and neutral in the front? No thanks)

- Epsilon/Southern Way 3pc 15x7 unknown offset. Got them off the most gaudy, '80s E21 imaginable. Looks like it had been sitting for about 20 years when I found it in the junkyard, and the tires on it would agree.

- Some flares to fit them! Thinking about the Alpina fiberglass flares on the FAQ store, but I'm not sure how wide those are...

And the car they came off of:

Yich.

I want a set of wheels like the ones u found on the e21 e28?

Currently I have H&R Sports up front and uncut stock springs in the back. Makes the rear end a little tippy and loose even with and IE adjustable rear sway bar. Picture is taken on flat ground. Anyone wanna sell rear H&R's?

BBS RM 15x6.5&7. 195/50 front, 205/50 rear. GC front coilovers. cut rears.

Ray - looks awesome. Are you going to go for the wider rear lip? I suppose you'd need to go to a 195/45 or 50 profile to fit it under...

I actually had to go back to 195/45 to make the front fit. After having the RMs side by side with those 15x8 RS, it looks puny, I am definatly going to go 8" on the 6.5 wheel and put the rears up front. I'm still fumed that I didn't do that the first time.

Man, those RS's sure are sexy!

They're in Oz now btw Cj... Having the tyres mounted next week.

I already had committed to a set in the same spec but 6.5 et17 front and silver face with half height caps and new bolts before getting these from Ray, so I can't wait to see both sets! Will do a photoshoot ASAP!

Tom, you have taken my place as the most wheel-obsessed FAQer. LOL!

Good to hear they're going to a good home.

NOOOO! I had just gotten comfortable with the way my Polaris looks with 15" RA's. How dare you throw a great looking set of 16's on! It looks awesome!

Looking good Bri. What size tires are you running? Any rubbing?

[ibjettin]

205/40's no rubbing, but the fenders are rolled.
