    Do not remove the oil pump secondary shaft bearings unless they are damaged.  That is all.

    Also I like the new wheels.

    So no hot tank? That's no fun.

      I would hot tank it and see what happens to them.  Have you ever replaced them?  Sucks the big one.

          Here is a breakdown of all the summer tire and track tire options in 15" from tirerack.com. I didnt include all-season or high performance all seasons to the table.

          15tirezpsca3cfa4f.jpg

          Heaps of options in 205-50 but that would be slightly stretched on an 8" wheel

          I would like to do 225-50 but the prices are a bit stupid compared to the 205s

          The last thing I want is stretched tires and 205s would have a slight stretch but this is a 205-50 on a 15x8, very acceptable. Much better than the 215-45 on a 17x9 that I just got rid of

            The new tires i will be getting are going to be meatier and the front end is missing about 100lbs of weight. With that said, i plan on raising the rear 3/4" for better suspension geometry (as opposed to lowering the front) this had been on my to-do list for a long while now.

            Its hard to get used to how small the wheels look but they are SO much lighter and driving will be much more enjoyable

                      I dont even know how to answer this!!!

                      Probably about the same time you admit that this is a selfie

                        While not a selfie - it accurately describes my feelings on your wheel gap.

                                        The m20 has just about the same power output as a supercharged previa too

                                          Wasn't sure I'd like gold rims.

                                          After seeing them a few different times I'm starting to dig them!!

                                          I've read some mixed info about making 15x8s fit well on the e30.

                                          Any info Snap?

                                          Looking for some for mine next.
