YES! Thanks fellas, thats what i needed to see. In that pic he looks like he has the rears pulled and probably the fronts rolled. I dont want to pull the rear fenders out though. I was thinking 10 or 15mm spacers might help it work. No my only problem is the 225/40/18 tires on the wheels now. Think thats going to be too tight?

To fit 18's on E30 M's you usually need to run 225/35/18 for tires. I think you might have rubbing issues with the size you listed. It will be close but def. look dope on the car!!

I agree about the tail lights. The rest of the car looks sweet...............

MPowerM3 is correct. Well, at least that's what I'm running.

Yes, those tail lights are nasty looking!

i have 18's on my e30 325. you can run up to 225/35/18 without rubbing. And thats with drop springs (bavauto). That makes your o.d. 24.2 in. If you run the 225/40/18, your 0.d. would be 25.09. That's 0.9". I would have to say that they would prob rub.

Yeah its going to be close no doubt. When you rub where exactly do you guys think it will rub? My front end looks a bit lifted actually..

I ran 18x8.5 with 245/35R18 all around on my non-m e30... Slammed on GC/Koni, rolled fenders, no rubbing.

Offset is key.
