Why would my track car have SHTFCK for license plate when I have 1 M0R LAP on it?
This is the E30 thread, not the 135 thread. quit vapin'

i figured the setup out based on what i currently have combined with gorilla math.
17x7.5 were on the car, and they were e36 ds1 wheels with 12mm spacers all around. ds1 has 41 offset so this makes an ET29 with 12mm spacer. After using WillTheyFit.com , it showed that I could probably get away with the 17x8.5 et40 from Apex if I continued to use 12mm spacer. Everything fits pretty well but I may drop to a 10mm spacer now for just a hair of extra clearance in the fronts. Not fully sure yet.
apex arc-8 are all designed with BBK clearance in mind.

Cool - Mine are 17X9 ET42s with a square 235 setup.
I have them listed a few places and received a lot less interest than I thought they would get.
And about the BBK, yeah I know the ARC-8s will fit my wilwoods, but until they are on the car I don't know what else will so I am hesitant to pick up another set of wheels.
-
17x9 ET30 seems to be more popular for e30's in that regard. At least from what I'm seeing. Why are you wanting to get rid of your arc8? THere's no "Will This Rim Clear BBK?" thread at R3VLimited? Surprising

Dude, these wheels look gorgeous on this car! I'm jealous of the concave offsets that my E82 doesn't have
-
I recently put a set of 225 Direzza ZII's on my car, I am inclined to think that you will be happy with them.
Car looks good, would be cool to see the weight of it. -
thanks guys. I'm really happy with it so far - drove to Big Bear today to get a snapshot of all the suspension/alignment specs, didn't have time to weigh it, sadly. Soon though.
I realized there are 20mm spacers on there and the clearances are ok (no rubbing yet after driving around today) but I do have enough room to get a 15mm so I'll be putting those on tomorrow to give myself a guarantee on clearance going over big bumps.

Seeing ARC8s on your car makes me want to buy an E30.

Apparently I followed up on this by complete coincidence.

My Subaru and my Miata both have buyers lined up......
So I did a thing this morning to be able to tow a car, and I'm doing another thing on Wednesday morning to have something to tow that can hold a car:

24' ? Should be a nice setup with tandems. Should probably see like 12 mpgs lol. Either way drive it like you stole it

Wow when you dive in, you really dive in!
dude it's soooooo bad driving that E30 on the street. 20% of the bumps that you hit you're goin "fuck did that just bend a control arm??" I seriously worry about driving the car to/from the track. Truck/trailer is a necessity in my opinion, but the ridiculous part is truck prices these days. That's a $41k truck, and constitutes a "stripped down" model. I said "Give me something that can tow and has a decent sound system for long trips, a crew cab, nothing more and we'll be good". So they did. And it was still wildly more expensive than I would have liked.
Oh and upon inspection of going to pull the oil pan out, discovered that the driver side motor mount bracket was busted and 2 of 3 engine mount bolts were completely missing. Backed out entirely, and the 3rd and final bolt was backed out 3/4 of the way. Scary stuff. I was very close to have my engine riding on the subframe at BHF.

yea 24', tandem Dexter axles, 1 month old tires, 48" service door, fold-down ramp extension, electric brake assist, painted floor and 4 floor hooks for a car.
When I have money again in like 5 years I'm gonna buy this for it: https://jet.com/product/detail/fd71e5dc7f4e4a10be4d4c3e003cc15a?jcmp=pla%3Aggl%3Agen_vehicles_parts_a1%3Avehicle_parts_accessories_motor_vehicle_parts_motor_vehicle_towing_a1_other%3Ana%3APLA_348999540_24332410740_pla-156916835100%3Ana%3Ana%3Ana%3A2&code=PLA15&ds_c=gen_vehicles_parts_a1&ds_cid&ds_ag=vehicle_parts_accessories_motor_vehicle_parts_motor_vehicle_towing_a1_other&product_id=fd71e5dc7f4e4a10be4d4c3e003cc15a&product_partition_id=156916835100&gclid=CM2OwILut80CFVGAaQodrd8F6A&gclsrc=aw.ds

IIRC each of the mounting arms have four bolts into the block?? If so you still had another left to fall out lol. When I took the engine mount arms off during the swap, 2 of the heads snapped off. They were awfully weak after all the heat cycling/weathering. I bought new ones and blue loctited them in
