ILC's 1991 318 S50 track rat

If he went to Automotion, he'd have probably burned the extra diameter off the tires in the burnout pit haha.
I can gladly say that I got to experience a bit of this car firsthand last night. Nothing I own will ever feel good again. The handling that this car is capable of is unreal. Sounds pretty good too!

Any reason for 17s as opposed to 15s/16s?
-
Derp. Brakes of course

brakes and also apex doesn't sell 15/16" sizes, and I'm on 5 lugs not 4.

I'd like a sample of this too.

Plate suggestion
"SHTFCK"
According to the WDMV plate lookup, "SHTFCK" is available!
-
It's settled. That's your new plate

i need help with the explanation for the DMV of what it means so that they actually approve it. Help me make something up

Yesterday I ordered a CCA grill badge because I think E30s should just have those. I also ordered a set of hyper silver Apex ARC-8 wheels and new Direzza tires. The car won't make a full locking turn right now and rubs badly because the prior owner mistakenly bought 235/45 tires instead of 235/40, so they are wayyyy too tall. Plus I don't really like the E36 rims that are on the car. Good news is that I have brand new Rival tires from the Miata that I never installed, so Big Bear is letting me return those for a full credit towards the Direzzas, which makes the tires basically a wash. Big Bear also has a buyer for my E36 wheels, and after selling the Avanti wheels I had for the Miata, everything is basically a wash.
I'm hoping everything fits, but still not sure. The E36 wheels are 7.5" with 41 offset and 12mm spacers around, and I have about 1" clearance between the strut and the top of the wheel when it is cambered in on the ground. I had to pick up 17x8.5 et40 from Apex, so I'm hoping they will still fit, but I ordered a set of 15mm spacers just in case. Still may be a little close but keeping my fingers crossed. Everything is getting fitted next week on Thursday.
Nice. Check out www.willtheyfit.com for tire fitment needs.
I did a new vs. old for you. First one is without spacers on the new wheels, second one is with the 15mm spacers.

This! So much this! It has to happen!
-
Or RDRCKT... I check and it's available.

yup, did some math and took some measurements - looks like the rears will clear with no spacer at all as I have like 1.5" between the strut and the wheel, and it only adds 1.7mm of poke.
The fronts will still require a spacer because the strut is closer to the wheel. It's got probably 3/4" or a bit more, so likely re-use the existing 12mm which would give about .46" closer to the strut and about .5" more poke which should work out given the tire will stretch a bit and be lower profile.

You could also add a German twist to it
ROTRCKT

RED ROKT would be alright. Double standard with south park and also the fact that it's a pretty fast street car that's red.

Am I the only one thinking of the gross type of red rocket? You know, that thing that happens when a male dog gets excited?
Which dyno are you getting on? I'm excited to see the numbers.

yea that's why i said "it's a double standard with South Park" because they did an episode on that one time, LOL.
I'm not actually getting that plate. I may not get any vanity plate if i can't think of something i really like.
I'll be up on LMT's dyno
Should be a good day. immediately following that I'll be getting the new tires mounted on the Apex wheels for the E30, so i can go home and put htem on.2011 E92 M3 6MT ZCP - ESS 625 supercharged

If you put down monstrous numbers, I might have to pay them a visit for my car. Any guesses?
