295's are turning out to be a little too big. Even with a fender roll, I'm rubbing in situations where I shouldn't, and it's bugging the hell out of me. But, they're on.

What are your wheel specs in the rear? Wheres your camber? It would suck to have to buy a whole new set. |

Camber is still set to stock for ZSP. Wheels on the rear are 295/30/19.

Because of the rubbing, and the lack of decent roads out here, I haven't given any dig runs a shot yet. I'm considering a camber adjustment, but I dunno. Suppose it would cost just as much to get new tires as it would to do the adjustment. EDIT: Just made an appointment tomorrow for camber/toe adjustment. Cost is estimated to be $70, so let's hope I have room to make the adjustments. *crosses fingers*

Good luck (especially since my 10 et28 w/265 setup will be going on in a few weeks and you're not inspiring confidence in my napkin calcs with a dash of hope)...worst case scenario, we can always do an m3 quarter panel conversion. |

I just had an epiphony about what I'm doing next. My steering wheel is showing signs of wear, and a little bit of peeling on the inner part, so I'm either going to have the wheel and the interior of the wheel wrapped in alcantara, or just the inner, but either way, I'm gonna get it wrapped (to match my shift boot and e-brake boot). This way, I don't have to see the ugly shiny plastic underneath, and it freshens up the interior a little more, and just adds one more unique factor to the car.

I came home for lunch and my CF kidney grilles were waiting for me at the door...didn't even make it inside before they were installed (I keep some small tools in the car). Now I'm really psyched to get the summer wheels back from refinishing to see if the look comes together like I'd hoped. Pics post summer wheels
Btw, moose, you've inspired me to refinish the winters when the time comes. I can't wait to see how your spacers work out (sorry, but I'm definitely taking advantage of your calculation work if it comes out as nicely as I think it will). |

I've always just bought oil change kits from getbmwparts.com. I think this is Castrol OE?
Looking good moose! |

So here it is with 15mm front and 18mm rear.
No rubbing yet, but I haven't really tested it yet. These are some quick iphone pics I took, I need to wash the car then I'll bust out the real camera and take some nice pictures. |
