Lets see your e46 m3 thread

[Jickel180]

E88s are here! I love them from some angles, and think they look a little small and goofy from others (the profile mostly). Went with a 18x10 +24 square setup for functionality although the vain side of me wishes they were staggered as the fronts are a little poked with -3.1 deg of camber. Dialing in -3.5 degrees next as I was already chewing the outside shoulders up front on the last track weekend.

Jickel180 these are schirmer? And for the stagger youd have gone 9.5 in the front? They look insane man, well done.

Thanks! I ordered them through Slicer Paddock actually. I'd go 9.5" front and 10 or 10.5" rear for street use if I were to order another set, but these will work great on track and being able to get a few more days of tire life by having the ability to rotate the tires will pay off I'm sure.

I think this sums it up perfectly well. Car looks good nonetheless.

If I were to get e88s I'd go against the grain and run 8.5/10 since I don't care about rotate-ability and they'd predominantly be used on the street. Offset wise I'd do the opposite of what everyone else is doing in the front and go higher offset.

The lighting at my storage area always makes me take a few pics.

I think staggered would have looked much better. Are you running spacers in the rear to even out the aggressiveness?

Not imola

Agreed, just had to go with function. Hoping the increased front camber will help some. I'm running a 5mm spacer out back which already rubs slightly on big compression, but I couldn't handle not having a spacer to help balance it out. The rear fenders are rolled too and I'm running -2.5 deg camber out back so that's the best I can do at the moment. 🙂

The euro bumper is the same as the US one but without those corner reflectors. the CSL is the one that has the asymmetrical hole on one side

I never knew how idiotic I thought that bumper reflector was until now... I smoked it for look with the corners and tint... but that's SO gone with the bumper R&R when I get around to it... BTW, it's also funny how this crowd is into amber, whereas I've been getting rid of amber on other cars for 10+ years... the old Style v Fashion debate, the latter changes all the time.

maw

I could picture the germans cutting out the reflector holes thinking "stupid americans" and laughing.

Have had a prepainted euro bumper from bmw for the past 15 years though it's tired now.

[SWRT_M3]

You can blame the U.S. DOT for the stupid amber reflectors.....

Two things I can't stand on an M3 are Chrome and Amber, I barely give them a pass on my F250, but there's no place for them on the M3
