Put it this way....my fronts are maxed out negative camber-wise. I think it puts it at -3.5 or so and my rears are at -6. I have had 4 blowouts on the front.... I took these pics.....I could have went under the semi by 3 inches...LMFAO

Add some weight to the car maybe that'll bring it down some lol. If I had lower offset wheels my fenders would be sitting just over my 205/40/17s.

On a side note, your 3-er is gonna look sick man.

*Sorry for continuing to take this thread OT*

Thanks homey. The stretch running the 215's is crazy to me but Im told even in the world of stretched tires....these are "baby stretch". Its funny cause right now my rear bumper and mirrors are two shades of black...the M3 bumper is primered and the skirts will be just unprepped white. Then when I get the trunk it will be CF....so you can imaging how my car is looking.... But I need to run it like this for about another month until I decide what to do with the sideskirts and then throw it to paint..

Nah foo....its gonna stay Topaz Blue. I get too many compliments on the color to change it. The only thing is maybe the black vinyl on the lip and roof...and IF I do that then I will powdercoat the wheels black.....

Right now they are a raw finish...the previous owner had them sandblasted. The look is pretty cool. But I just saw someone do this on E46 and Im digging the texture alot. He said it looks textured but is smooth to the touch. Definitely gonna do this...



And heres the car right now...still need to throw everything else on and get it painted...

Interesting finish on those wheels, I still say silver buddy. How about BBS Diamond Black finish?? Black wheels on a dark car don't do it for me, they get way too lost in the wheel wells..

Hell, paint 'em white so it matches your MINI lol (kidding, although that would look tight)

I will try the black wrinkled effect since I am blacking all my lights out. If I dont like it then I will sand blast them again...No biggie....
