    Some Updated Shots of My Car

    I got my 12mm spacers last wednesday and had the 245s put on up front. Here are the results...

    ive always been a fan of this car. there's something about the blue, with black kidneys, and zkws, that gets me. the rims/fenders look great too.

    No ZKW's here. They're Depo ZKW replicas with Bosch e46 Bixenon Projectors and 4300k HIDs. My camera doesn't seem to want to capture how they actually look, but it certainly isn't green like the pics.

    +45mm in the rear and +33mm up front via spacer. I've got 255/35s out back and 245/35s up front with no rubbing.

    Looking good Todd. Do you like the ar1's better than the CCH's? I can't decide.

    Are you talking about my old wheels or just CH's in general, because I had RC's.

    I did like the classic look of the RC's, but offset wise, these are much better. I'm not sure how they compare quality wise yet, but the AR1s do say licenced by bbs on them... That's gotta be good for something right?

    Here's a pic of the RCs from last year.

    Looks good. I've been thinking about picking up a set myself lately. Perfect size/offset, plus they look great.

    Do you have anymore up close pics of the wheels themselves?

    I love the drop.

    You could fit 255s on those 9", the 245s are stretching out .

    I agree completely. I couldn't justify spending more money on a wheel that didn't have as nice of an offset and size. I had some close ups of the wheels on my camera but the brother deleted them. I'll try and get some in the next couple of days for you. I've currently got them sitting in the shop and the stockers are back on for some snow tomorrow.

    Thanks, I've got the 255s on the back and was planning on running them up front as well, but got lazy didn't want to raise up the front or do something to get more negative camber. They rubbed a little bit over big bumps and when turning on the lip of the fender, so I decided to stick with the 245s for now.

    It was me. Earlier last summer I was planning on getting rid of it to invest some money and get an M3 down the road a little bit. After saving up some money I decided I'd go with the bike and keep the 3er for a while longer. Here's a shot of the bike from today as well.

    No rubbing in the back and the front has only rubbed once while I was midturn at a brisk ( ) speed and there was a large bump in the road. Rear fenders are rolled slighly as well, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have to be. I've still got quite a bit of room back there.

    sweet. how much lip do you have there on all 4 rims w/ a +45 offset? i wonder if BBS LM's will produce the same size lip w/ the same offset & rim size?

    LM's dont have anywhere near the same size. They have something like a 18x8 et35 fitment for the E36, which is far from optimal.

    The lip is right at 2" and like spencer said, the LMs don't come in a very attractive size and offset for the e36s. He is correct with the 18x8 and et35 as well.
