    You will need sideskirts, rear fenders, rear bumper, fender liners, and trailing arms were different - so you can either use wheels with a different offset or 2.8 trailing arms

    M3 wheels from a e36 will work. I have DS2 and contours that I run on my narrow body Z.

    I imagine you'd need some spacers to run DS2's on a 1.9 rear with a wide body, given that such a setup has a similar setup to an M regarding where the wheel sits inside the fender.

    I understand .. And having all that stuff, the screws and all those things will fit with my bodywork? And will my actual trailing arms fit on these tires with the new fender? (the size would be 17x8,5" offset i don't really know with the 2.8 fenders, I want to take them to the limit, not surpassing the fender, I'm from Spain and that would be a expensive homologation )
