The VW is WAY more poke ( as in they stick out past the fender more) then my car ... so I find it funny that you say it looks better

Also you guys are acting like im running a 265 or 255 on a 11" ... its a 285 for goodness sakes ... which is wider then 90% of the guys on E90post


Shots where shot with a rebel XT BTW ... just on "P" mode ... its not supose to be a professional photo shoot as they where a way to see where the tire would be compared to the fender .

Asl you guys are all forgetting ... the car IS NOT LOWERED YET .... nor has the CAMBER been ADJUSTED.

Damn Kris! That looks scary with those 25-series tires! I've gotta see the car when you get it set up with the KWs under it. Those rims are sex with that satin lip.

Just saw these pics on the iforged site.
The car looks absolutely gorgeous.
I think it's a Rieger kit.
How about a nice and tasteful kit like this for your car, M3this?

TOOOOOO much lip.

I was really hoping it would look better

I think you need an inch less width and lip in the rear. it just looks silly.

Im personally not a big fan of the Reiger kit ...

Here is the front bumper, hood and front lip that will be going on the car, however my lip is going to be molded on:



This is what my rear will look like minus the rear spoiiler

Don't know why you haven't posted the pictures of the car in:

1. day light
2. with more distance for a full body shot.

Because

1) I only have 1 tire .... that tire shown on the wheel was for test fitting. Its a 285/25/20 ... but I think Im going to step it up to a 285/30/20 as there is more room then I thought. Also 1 tire means I can only mount one wheel

2) Im waiting on the coilovers to come in off back order ... the way you see it was on stock sport suspension ...thats part of the reason a lot of you guys dont like it as its still at stock height and still on stock camber .. rear camber will be adjusted in more and the car will be lowered.


A lot of you guys know my old Evo and know that while I like things aggressive looking Im never one to make it look gaudy ... Im sure you will all like the final results

In all honesty the rear wheel really doesnt poke more then my front wheels on the Evo ... only difference is the camber on the Evo is set and on the BMW it isnt ... also since the Evo is on 18s ... its got a meatier tire and since the BMW is on a set of 20s I have to run a 25 or 30 series profile tire.
