Mods please do not move as this is directed towards 5th gen owners. Thanks

Well after many days of playing w/ spacers and my coilovers i've finally got all my wheels to fit w/o rubbing issues. After getting everything set i noticed i have about +3mm between the inside of my tire to the brake line mounted along the trailing arm. Would this distance vary according to suspension height and travel? I wouldn't think so since it is a solid beam rear suspension but i could be wrong. Any opinions?

 

I don't know much about the room and dimensions that are on the 5th gen, but I would like to see pictures of this.

 

yap pics please

 

it should be fine. i just put some 20X10 giovanne barbados on mine. only if my cam worked. i had a little problem with rubbing but nothing a fender roller couldnt fix.

 

u still on your tosers???

 

i can't wait to see them! i thought your OTHER wheels had no clearance! Did you have to adjust the coilovers higher? and what size spacers did you use?

 

pictures!!!!

 

pics ..........

 

Pics! are these your GT-N's you've been waiting on for a while?

 

 

just snapped some new pics. Will have them up shortly

 

Here they are. Volk GT-N 18x8 front, 18x10 in the back both w/ 43mm offsett. Tires are Kumho Asx 245/40 and 275/35. Suspension is still Toser coilovers. Center caps and muteki lug nuts should be in tommorow to help spruce them up some more







I'll have some more fancy pics in the next couple of days. what do you guys think?

 

 

Wow, that's a pretty sweet setup. The rear wheels really line up nicely with the fender.

I wish I had gone staggered

 

looks real nice man. could u get better angles of the rear? what did u do with your first set of rims? racingharts?

 

I'll get some more pics in the next couple of days. I just went ahead and took some pics after i washed it. the axis wheels are for sale, but as of now they are spoken for

 

looks familiar........

 

Wow Chris, your max was always one of my favs in the 5th gen forum. Gotta love those Volks!
BTW, your paint looks flawless in those pics. Wish mine looked that good. Did you get a new paint job or is that factory?

 

Thanks
Its a Custom paint job, its BMW Jet Black. The car was sterling silver

 

Wow nice max with those new rims you got. It looked so nice before, and now it's much better. Well hope you'll hold on to that max, cause it's a beauty.

 

wow...i retract my previous statement....i like those better than the axis'!

 

look sweeeeeeettttttttttttt

 

I like how I didn't see the rims at BWWs.

 

Because when i pulled out my drive way my tires were grinding on my rear fender

 

So i guess theres no way to setup 19x10 and have it tucking like ures... i would have went with 8.5 in the front but it does like sweet

 

I hate those rims........

 

How much do those rims weigh compared to your old Supermeshes? They're 19's right?

 

CheeeeHooooooooo!!!! Looks sweet Chris!

 

very nice....

 

very nice looking car

 

He said they were 18's.
