good job!

 

Sweet!!!!!

 

Work it. That's just about the perfect stance. And I love those headlights too btw. The black ones seem to be too plain for me but the chromes really now how to sparkle.

 

Thanks guys! I wanted a little bit lower, but that would be a huge compromise for the ride quality. I think this is perfect. Get some rear wheel spacers, perhaps 10-15mm by H&R and call it good! By then I should be able to move up to 215.

As for the headlights, just wait for the change Gilber. I'm going to be doing a Projector retrofit, removing the poopy Halogen projectors that have limited output with actual 3" Hella Bi-Xenon projectors. I plan on making it better, I want better output. Also, I'm going to be putting back the orange side marker. You guys will have to wait till sometime next year. money is a bit on the low side so thats I gotta focus on first, Bills. For hibeams I'm going to have Bi-Xenon along with normal bowls. It whould look a lot better. I plan on paiting some of it black, but not all of it.

 

That's all very good, but waht about your tail lights? Go ahead, and update them to the 95+ look, it's a great improvement!
When I got my car it had been done half-way. It looked like this:


And then I got the midsection to fit with the new tail lights:

 

That's what I want to get, so it will take me some time.

Soon to be replaced within the next few weeks:

Front Driver Wheel Bearing
PNP Switch

Soonish:
Headlight Projectors w/E60 Bi-Xenon D2S Projectors

Question on the PNP Switch, would it be better to get OEM or to get the Scan-Tech one?

 

Oem only!!

 

Great to know! Any input on the wheel bearing? I found one on FCPGroton's Ebay site that has one for 75 bucks.

 

Hey that looks great! Could you do me a favor...could you measure from the top of the rim to the bottom of the fender? Ignoring the tire and wheel well.

 

Not a problem, I'll hop on that!

 

If it is a *** bearing buy it. They are really good bearings.

 

+1

i believe it is OEM on BMW 540i

 

Okay, I found them on FCP And I plan on getting them.

Total break:

Hey, kinda random question, do you think the drop would still look the same with 205/50/16s vs the 205/55/16s? My wagon has 15" steelies on it and when I get new wheels I wanted 17, but I feel like that would throw the speedo off too much and am thinking of 16s, with 205/50/16.

 

It would look relitively the same, but Turbo models are supposed to have 205/55 on them. It would look a little lower, but there would be more wheel gap.

205 - Tire width, doesn't change anything except for tire rub
55 - Aspect ratio - this changes your your speedo
16 - Wheel size required.

 

That's what I was afraid of though is more wheel well gap. The 16's I was looking at on tire rack recommended 205/50/16 for the 16" wheels.

Actually, it doesn't look like my speedo would be affected that much if I went with 205/45/17s.

 

Hmm, check your gas door. mine says 205 50 16

Weird.... I don't notice any diffference with the 55's.

 

I don't think I would mind the 50's, it's the wheel well gap I don't want, and your stance is pretty good and I think if I went with a slightly smaller tire it would create a larger gap. There's some 16's that I really like too but I think with the 55s the tires would just look too fat on the wheels.

 

***Reminder***

I actually have a reason. My wheel rubs my fender. Some people have commented on my wagon being lowered but its not. I have replaced the strut but it still rubs. It has eaten right through my wheel well insert.

Thats why I want the measurement please.

 

Hmmmm,,, that's not good. I took the pictures with my phone so I jsut have to find a way to get it loaded onto the computer.
