well no they fit quite well actually, they do not hit the coilovers and they sit exactly how i wanted them to sit, put the factory spec'd camber and it will look perfect
im not stretching because i ABSOLUTELY have to otherwise the tires wont fit, i can put a 275/30/20 in the rear and a 235-245/30 in the front if i really wanted to
the point is i like the stretched look and i like wide wheels
is this going to be another thread where you try to bash?

BTW what thread are you referring to? If it's the quad exhaust thread, then read through and you'll see I was making valid points but was constantly questioned by RPIpower. In the end someone made power from their quad exhaust and everyone's happy, well for the most part.

Not at all. Like I said I'm actually looking forward to seeing the results. And the key word here is they sit how "you" want them to fit which isn't like stock, wouldn't you agree?

right but if they sit the way I want them to, why would you say "they clearly dont fit" when the sit on the car without any modifications thus far.
Yeah i was talking about your RPI thread.
Did you know that the oem 123 wheels didnt fit on the car when it was lowered in the front? it needed spacers to clear the struts
im glad you are looking forward to seeing it as i am, this was a pretty expensive calculated experiment

True, I should have stated they don't fit like stock or close to it. Maybe the fronts but with the rear lip going past the fender, that's where I think a company would draw the line as far as advertising offsets. All it means is you'll have a more unique setup, and isn't that what you're going after?

Haha, yeah its usually expensive being the guinea pig. But I think you'll like the end result.

yeah the fronts sit flush and the rear does come past the fender but im waiting to see how it will sit with the -2 camber and the tires with the full weight of the car resting on the wheels too
ill probably have to fender roll in the rear a little bit
there was a thread by SAMICHGUY or Seedster for custome HRE wheels that they wanted to fit flush and what HRE told them would work didnt even come close, it was like 1-1.5 inches off so they had to add spacers in the front and rear.
most wheel companies just dont want to experiment at all and i guess i dont blame them because as you said its expensive being the guinea pig on these things
any pics of your e36? ive been thinking about those a lot lately
