Most days I check this thread and inwardly shudder in horror. E36XER; your beautiful example of what an E36 has the potential to be, is simply stunning.

I love your car ken, just look into cutting the innermost part of the rear fenders and roll it afterwards so you can fit a 235 back there

Thanks man I love getting good feedback. I had ordered a fender roller from Eastwood but it was back ordered to I canceled. Now I regret that. I need moar wide.


In unrelated matters, I noticed the engine has a pretty pronounced tick at idle i hope it's not bad.

I just went back and did the math... so In theory I could do a 235/40/17 et 20 and be fine.. remember that's also tucking the whole tire and almost the rim

Ok cool. I'm still working out money for the S52, but I'll definitely take them off your hands at the meet.

I like the 18th. I forgot all about St.Patties. God forbid I come between someone and their beer on the holiest of Irish holidays.
