    yea I saw the same, ordered spacers, coils, camber plates and adapters...unnecessary haha

    Tires are 245/40/ZR17 Dimax R8's. No Spacers anywhere, heavy roll /slight pull too.

    I have GC plates and linear springs for the front as I though they would be necessary with spacers...but I didn't need any of it. I also see that I had a ton of room left in the rear. I can run square 255s for sure with the front changed up a bit of potentially 275 out back.




    Pitt did you roll your front fenders?

    Yes I did. 1 round of rolling at the front. There's plenty more to move if necessary, but until I get into 255 up there or 265!! Haha, I won't have to experiment with the springs, heights, spacers and camber.

    Did anyone one get bigger than 255 up there?

    old vs new squared up.

    I'm currently running a 245/40/17 square setup on stock suspension non concave arc 8's(purchased the car with them). I'd like to add rear 17x9 concave to replace my standard 17x9's for a less boring look.

    Good lord that looks good. If you don't mind sharing, what are your wheel, tire, suspension spec's? I'm sure other E46 3 series owners would love to know

    How much front camber did that add?

    Enough to stop the rubbing in front. Haven't put it on an alignment rack yet.

    I've also learned that M3 knuckles have more camber built in.

    I'll post my suspension setup, numbers and parts list once I have it corner balanced and aligned.

    Hi again!

    Let me know how you like those Hankooks. I may switch to those when my Firestones wear out next year.

    Will do man. So far I love them. Smooth ride, and the couple of turns I've taken hard felt like I had grip to spare. I'll keep you posted!

    Loving this setup! How is inner clearance up front with the 255 RE71-Rs?

    I wonder what it would be like with bilsteins, or stock struts?

    Not sure, my old ground control coilovers required a 5mm spacer because the spring was so long so I would assume something with the factory design would interfere even more than a coilover
