the m30 is such a big pig would like to keep the weight down and a smaller 6 is the best bet its either boost a smaller newer bmw straight 6 or getting a 1jz-gte

Please don't get a 1jz. Stock m52's and e85 with big turbo and you can make plenty power for anyone. SOOOO cheap. Not worth the extra cost of the 1j for the same shit.

^Also you will have to start your own wibimmers1jz.com website, that's just more work than it's worth.

I guess bfinley will have to start our own jdmbimmers forum lol if I do the 1j but rather have a power plant from the motherland

Didn't see too many of those at the dealer either, most have tan interiors.

I like it, kinda different, how would those offsets work?

[Earl]

Those have been done before on e30's and e28's. They look gorgeous on e30's. That is also one of the lowest prices for a set I have seen. Look into the trans am turbo wheels too=)

Here's a pic on an e28, they look great.  From this post it looks like the center bore needs to be enlarged, but any machine shop should be able to do that for pretty cheap.

These are what I may b getting then

[RamRod E28]

By the looks of it he hasn't gone extreme yet on chopping springs yet

[jc43089]

Looks like they will fit without pulling fenders etc

[RamRod E28]

I would still like to roll fenders to eliminate any future rubbage

I have a fender roller for rent if you need it.
