    Default E36 8mm rear spacers (also: where did the Varsity HD Video go?)

    The video has been moved to the videos section here:
    June 4, 2009 Varsity Meet - HD VIDEO!!

    PICS! I just put some 8mm spacers on my rear wheels. The M68s were 17x8.5 et50 rear, but now they are et42, exactly like M-Contours and DS2s. I was amazed how much a simple offset adjustment changed the car.

    BEFORE:




    AFTER:





    Yes, I need new tires. They are in the mail.

    Sorry about the shyte quality, they were taken with my camcorder. Anyway, this is as far as I can push them out without fender work. They rub a bit on big bumps.

    Dude, how the hell did you get to the Varsity in one piece in the rain the other day with those tires?!

    Also, it looks good with the spacers. Are you going to try painting the other bumper you have with that DIY I wrote up?

    DDMtuning has M3 bumpers for mad cheap.

    PLEASE dont do white wheels unless they will only be used as track/ drift wheels

    and from what I can see, you are still running blots. Change over to long lug studs or your gonna lose a wheel...and fender, and bumper...
