That R3's got the goods, I don't know about that camber though.

Camber makes it look better in some ways...it all depends on the set-up.

^ not in this case.

18x10 +11 .. and this is the fitment I get ? Wtf



need 1" spacer now.. and hope my rears ( 18x12 +6 ) will be way more flush

Bamsterman

Those wheels need a good polishing

MaxFD

Junction Produce wheels that I got for cheap, wheels are clear coated, tried using some paint remover, didn't work, so can't polish.. don't know why the clear didn't come off

I'd be more worried about running into things and ruining my bumper more than how a set of old beat up wheels fit.

I concur.

1. Resize your pics because they are huge.
2. You do not need a 1" space to "solve" your problem.

woah man get an alignment that should help, but I don't think you have your wheel specs right. Are those 2or3 piece wheels? Maybe front and rear lips/barrels have been swapped? Those specs do not add up to those pictures.

MaxFD

I have way too much camber, this is why they're sunken ! But trust me, those are the real specs, they are 3 pieces, but welded !

4.5" lip up front, 6" back

maybe it's the angle of the pics, but the front's don't look like a 4.5 inch lip, and it certainly doesn't look like the almost 6" of backspacing need for a 11" wide wheel to have a +11 offset. Can't really tell on the rear at all.

lots of work for some **** looking wheels

good luck polishing that turd.

to each their own though.

I'm not really interested in the whole hellaflush and slammed thing, but I recently fit some 19'' style-225 M Sport wheels off an E92 BMW 335i on my RX-8 for a tire test for the magazine I work for. These wheels are 19x8 +37 front and 19x9 +29 rear, but with the 1'' hub adapters I used to convert from 5x114.3 to 5x120 the offsets are +12 front and +14 rear. My fenders are rolled but not pulled. There was a bit of rubbing on the rear tires so I added some camber and it was fine for the tire test. Anyway, I thought these rims looked kinda cool on the car. Enjoy.

Looks good! There was a set of style 193 wheels where I work that I wanted to put on my car

How did you fit BMW wheels on your 8 Dave? Were the wheels redrilled? My wheels are specified for a BMW and had to be redrilled to fit the 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

brilliantblackrx8

Nice looking car Dave, and clever idea with those bolt pattern conversion spacers. That opens up more possibilities for nice BMW stockers like these.

Millitek exhaust is nice as well.
