I was running 30mm hub adapters in that photo. Wheels are 15x6.5 +18 up front 15x7 +11 on the back.

I'm doing a hub swap at the moment to 4x114.3 and i'll be running my 7" wheels up front and i've got 15x8 -6 wheels for the back

That looks great! Love how it sits, what's your suspension set up?

Got me really contemplating the fender mounted mirror !

What's the clearance going to be like with the 8's on the rear?

The Series 3 is ET40 stock, whereas yours is ET20 - If you swap the front suspension you will add track to the front, what are you doing in the rear? If you swap in the diff, once again you will gain track width.

Fronts are going to be fine, rears are gonna be tight! Think I can make it work though :)

I had it sitting on "custom" springs there. Got Bilstein coilovers front and rear going on this year though with cusco top mounts.

Wing mirrors are all OEM. My car is a Japan import, JDM to the fullest! ha 0-0

'Custom' as in cut? :lol: If they're proper springs and you're selling them on, let me know ;)

Anyway, s(c)
