tires and wheels Help me get this stance!

[s99]

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeallly like how this car sits. Like alot. So I would like my car to sit like this guy! Are these 13" wheels? What size tires do you think he is running? Those wheels look very similar to Mahle's, can anyone confirm what they are? Also his car is sitting damn low. I would only have to assume he is running camber plates, as well and spiffed up struts/springs

[RayC911]

He's probably running front and rear coilovers, adjustable camber plates and everything else for a track car. You probably will not be very happy with that on the street. But it does look badass...

....and it rubs in the front. I asked him.

Its under load in that shot, from braking, so it doesn't sit that way at a stop. You can't really run a car that low and expect to be able to drive it like it was intended. Not as a street car anyway. You need suspension travel, at least a bit.

best stance I've ever seen on an 02: http://www.bmw02.de/BMW-2002ti.254.0.html?&L=2

Not sure how practical though...

+1

But maybe not rear coilovers due to the class rules.

If you want that stance... get some of these.

Shortened struts with either VW rabbit inserts or Ground Control modified struts with shorter and larger diameter Koni inserts.... Adj camber plates.... For the front.

For the rear... I do not recommend full coilovers due to the expense of modifying the trailing arm for added strength... I recommend 5' springs in the normal location in the recommended spring rate from either Ireland or Ground Control paired with some of these circle track spring adjusters like Steve K. used on his AutoX car...

Your desired stance can be achieved on the street but you WILL sacrifice ride and..... well, use spring rates recommended by whomever you get the setup from.

Basically you are after a race car setup. It is drivable on the street but is not the best for comfort and you will not use it to its' limits there. If you track the car it will come alive.

What about this stance, for me, this is ideal, not too low, perfect stance nice wheels, stock patina! I dont know whos is this on here but i would like to talk to them about the set up.

This is Cris' (CJ) car. It is probably my favorite stance I have ever seen on an 02. We need some details on the setup!

Matt's (Ronin Autowerks) new race car has a sweet stance...

Yes, i believe we need some details, for street use this seem ideal, i dont race, but i do like this stance a whole lot.

Can somebody explain what "PIG CHEEKS" is ?

If you follow the link you'll see that the car is sporting pig cheeks - it's just a different type of wheel arch flare as opposed to turbo flares or box flares. Oink.

*UPDATE* Just added the pic to my original post

From the front the fenders resemble hog jowls or guanciale if yer I-talian. Delicious in any language!
