ZHPizza's red car

[slater]

I love the way that looks, awesome job. So clean!! Do you have Z4M bushings? I thought ET35 was a perfect fit on E46’s. I just ordered some wheels and decided not to go ET35 knowing the bushings lush the hubs out

the Z4M bushings push the front hubs forward, not out. it would not have an affect on wheel offset.

The touring shot was totes for you, Peterman. I laid out all of the wheels/tires and was like....I...I just don't know how I'm going to fit this in that little car...

Then I got going and realized it had TONS of room. Like, I could have easily fit another set of wheels and the dogs in there.

oh ya... definitely. it's cavernous. have you unlocked the hidden storage under the rear seat? easter egg...

thanks for the pic. i love the "let's just see what the Touring can do today..." pics. i take a whole bunch that i never post, LOL.

Grounded:

looks like you've been rubbing on the very top inside lip of the fender too.... might want to roll that sucker a tiny bit. i'm doing mine this spring.

oh, and you're missing a fastener there? liner-to-bumper. should be a coarse-thread M8 with a big washer.

I'm running stock tire sizes 255x35x18 Hancooks... they have a pretty narrow tread.
I forgot you had a coupe... I think they do have a little more clearance IIRC Yikes!... back to afraid of opening them...

I think you'll be fine since you're going from et35 to et35, the position of the tire won't change. You'll just be pushing the point where the sidewall and wheel meet out by 0.25in. The tread will retain the same width and position.

Here's the same wheels on a sedan, but with some wide 235/40's like I have. They're taller than your 255/35's, so more likely to rub.

Dayum Pizza, those wheels look sick AF!

ARC8's have always been the dream wheels for me. Maybe someday when I have some $$$ saved up and we have full-on trade wars going on so that the CAD doesn't suck as much as it does now.

lol just wait like two years until the US is a post apocalyptic wasteland. The CAD will be a lot stronger then.

I haven’t heard “Bingo Bango Bongo” in so long I thought it was 1998.

Good update. One problem tho: where are your spinnaz/sittaz?

Dang that does look like paint rubbed off huh? Couldn't see that angle when I was grinding. That rubbing was with spacers that put the rear at et32, so I'm probably fine now...but the front is so pushed out that I might try to add a spacer in the rear down the road. Roll tide?

And the missing fastener confuses the hell out of me. It's like that on both sides and when I shine a light in there I see nothing behind the fender liner. No threads/panel/etc. Any other coupie bois noticed this?

Also snagged a pic for @slater last night when I noticed the lights in this parking lot were making that pinstripe POP

Thanks for the link... I forgot about that guy...
He cut out his rear fender liners... something I'd be willing to try if I have to but he never posted pics of it...

EDIT: looks like those wheels are fitting nicely under your fenders... Is it the picture angle or are your tires slightly stretched on those wheels...

which of the 9 pixels in that picture are you looking at?

Theyre only slightly stretched. Just enough for the wheel to touch if I lay them down. Here is a better pic. I may actually put a small (3mm) spacer back there.

That may just be an Apex thing. You can hear the metal touch on my 8.5s when you set them down (also 235). And I have 3mm spacers if you want to test fit.

I’m rubber on rubber on my 17x8.5” with ExtremeContact DW 245/40R17s. But that’s a lot less stretch (see: no stretch) than yours.

heck yeah - as trevor mentioned, that is definitely Alpina-esque. haha.

man, those fronts are pokey! some megative camber is required, fo sho.

i run a 3mm spacer in the rear with my apexeseses.

maybe a bit too much stretchy for me. i think if it was sitting lower it would look better, in my eyes. but that ride! gotta preserve that.

I don't understand why the passenger side has that metal clip and the driver's side doesn't...
