I guess it is on your e36. What about the iS?
225/40 and 245/40?

Yep sorry that's on my E36......not sure what the right tyre size would be for the E30

225/45/17

Just touches the shock... So either a 205 tyre or a 3mm or 5mm spacer. But she looks cool with thee36 M3 rims!
No more original Bilstein shock. Springs I guess are still original. Going to fit Monroe shocks next week or week after...

Hi baz,that's the reason I said use 215/45/17 for the front with the 225/45 17 and the spacer it's gonna push the inner fender lip out.For the rear245/40/17 touches the inner wheel well and the wheel becomes heavy for the e30.pls note the 205 tyres gives you less ground Clearence with the front spoiler.:thumbs:

Heres the is I had with 215/45 front and 225/45 rear oh and 3.2 M motor only for drags

@hubblyking......did you drop the white car in the pic and still manage to use the tyre sizes mentioned?

Late at night, love her the morning light....


Question: The black plastic piece that attaches to the left and right sides of the bootspoiler, does the lip point outwards or inwards? Can the guys with iSes or who have fitted such a bootspoiler help out please?

Fitted the kit excluding the front spoiler this afternoon. Actually very easy since interior panels were off. Unscrewed the metal clips from the body, put them on the panels of each section or panel of the kit, and then fitred and clipped it on or screwed it on from the inside of the car

Beautiful, keep it up bud!
