    New rims.

    Do I need to be worried about this spacing? Most others are claiming to be running 245/45/19s no problem, but I was hitting without spacers and mighty close with. I am buying new tires so I can always step down, but like the bigger tire look.

      I have a feeling that brand new tires in that size will render the car unmovable.

        My question is how close is too close when it comes to this? That piece is part of the same unit so a bump won't cause them to get any closer, but damn it is close.

          Snow tires tend to be taller and narrower than the same size summer or all season in my experience.

            That strut shouldnt get any closer than it already is to the tire. Unless something breaks or wears out (i.e. wheel bearing, lower balljoint, etc) it'll stay in place. Keep in mind that different tire manufacturers will have different dimensions even in the same size as well.

              Finally got the new tires and TPMS on the wheels. Kummrow and Andy did an awesome job for me. Great communication, good pricing, and they even stayed open late so I could pick them up after work. It won't be my last time going there.

              I went outside on Saturday to do some work on the E30 and next thing I knew I had the E60 ripped apart so I could wrap the wood grain. Happy with how it came out, but damn I need to get going on the E30.

                Coming in late - but nice buy! I had considered one for a daily, but spoke with a mechanic friend who advised against them.

                  Interesting curious to know why. I purposely avoided the V8 and figured it would be as reliable as a 3 series.

                  So far so good with it. It came with the airbag light on which I fixed right away and it hasn't come back. TPMS light should be off when my new antenna shows up. Only problem is a slight rub when turning because of the new wheels.

                  Any good tint places close to Milwaukee?

                      The reason why they are a pain is the abundance of control arms/ball joints versus the e90/e92's

                        The wrap job looks really good!  Nice job!  What vinyl did you use?

                          This.

                          He said every time one was in the shop at least 1 ball joint was on its way out.
