[QUOTE="EEEE30, post: 405857, member: 16244"] Funny things like what exactly? The maximum rim size you can have for an e30 is 17" in my openion and 18" is pushing too far already, but 19" is just over the top and it is just plain crazy. :stupid: With that being said, there are lot of things that goes into e30's, which are never designed and never meant to be in an e30, for example LS1 or LS2 motors (motors from Chevy Corvettes) not to mention bucket load of newer BMW motors that now being swap into e30's. The main thing is that you have to know how to compensate to what you've lost / gain by changing the original specs. If I'm not mistaken rear 235/45 don't remeber front since I sold this car long time back, but I do remember that it was smaller than the rear and hated that undersize front tires. There is a well documented on oing thread in r3v about wheel/tire fitment on e30's and forum is purely e30's. Visit the thread and go through the postings and your'll find answers to all your questions about wheel fitments and you'll be amased how many of them are running 16" and 17" [url]http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=83125[/url] And this thread is all about ride height and suspension setup [url]http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=52154[/url] [/QUOTE]
