Have you tried adjusting the headlight housing itself to pull that side in closer to the body? You could always just reaim the headlights afterwards to make up for the changes.
1997 BMW 328is Alpine White // Dove Grey
ZF Swapped | 3.23 LSD | FK Coilovers | 17x8.5 Borbet Type C | 75mm Wheel Studs | 12mm Vorshlag Spacers | 5000k HIDs | Euro Taillights | Suede Headliner/Pillars
I've done a slight roll and pull on the rears, nothing major. I really need to pull them though, so while the car is out of commission with the clutch issue I'll probably get on that. Yes, I completely understand and am knowledgeable about my camber/tire wear. I'm getting my toe brackets cut and welded for more adjustment so I can run 0 toe.
I know I have really bad updates, but here's another.
Finally got the barrel for the front so I put those together the other night, got tires on the next morning and now the car is still sitting. Waiting for a clutch kit and flywheel. Have the parts but haven't had time to install anything. Hopefully this week the car will out of the shop. After the clutch is done I have a few suspension things to put on and then I'll need an alignment. Really hoping by next week the car is all set to be driven again.
Anyway here's the wheels! 17x9 with 2.5" lips 195/40 and 17x9.5 with 3" lips 215/35. Don't know the offsets at the moment.
this needs to be ready before bimmerfest sir !
Finally! Looks awesome. And I'd check with Bimmerworld or AKG
Thank you, and yes I am going to do AKG.
UPDATE:
Here it is! Final product as of right now. I want to space the fronts out about 10mm and I'm still waiting on my custom toe adjusters for the rear to get my toe set to 0. Other than that, it just needs a little bit of tlc. Nothing a cut and buff can't fix. I'll be doing that within the next couple days. Oh, and also pulling the rear fenders. Tired of smacking fender to lip... Love the fitment, but I hate hearing that especially since it ruining my lips.
Yes I know my wheels/car is dirty haha. Been busy at work and the car sat for a month.

Thank you! Excited to see your car in person, will it be at h2o?
UPDATE
My friend took a couple pictures of my car and here a few that I enjoyed, hope you do too! Also blew up a tire because of my toe. Running -8 degrees of camber without custom toe brackets = 1,000 mile tires lol. Shaun hooked it up with new brackets so hopefully I'll be getting a new tire and alignment tomorrow so that I can get my toe set to 0.

Did you happen to have a thread about detailing this?
Had an absolute blast last weekend at H2Oi. It was great meeting all of you and seeing everyone's cars. Left Ocean City with no tickets my car made the 3 and a half hour trip just fine, besides catching air on a few bumps lol. No issues whatsoever with the car. Anyway, enjoy these pictures.
Lost my front lip on the Bay Bridge lol
So here is the final product of everything! I haven't driven the car since h2oi... I've been installing e46 front control arms as well as installing SLR angle shit.. Fixing miscellaneous things and doing maintenance. The car runs and drives awesome and I'm loving the new front camber. Would really like to just enjoy the car now. Since I bought the car I haven't had any time to have fun with it, I've just been putting money into it. All photos are by Anthony Nguyen or @ngsve on Instagram.
