Xerxes is gonna get dropped more.. the reason i am puttin more of a stretch on the tires.. on the e30tech forum most of the cars sit between 21 - 23 inches from the ground (thats from the ground to the top of the fender arch).. mine "hopefully" will sit around 21.5.. a 16 inch wheel with a 40 or 45 series tire is not that much smaller than certain 18s with a 35 series tire..

now most people run a 205/45 r16 on their e30s.. and i will have a 215/35 r18 on mine... if you plug both in.. it will show you that im only .6 inches taller than what they are.. anything really lower than 21" on an e30 is OK.. but i dont feel like damaging an oil pan or making driving it less fun daily.. i dont like thick sidewalls anyway.. and we all are tryin to do the same thing tuck as much tire into the fender well as possible.. im just kinda "cheating" a bit.. lol
Genghis is gonna go the same color as the wheels.. well kinda.. the wheels are a raw metal finish with a clear coat over them.. i forgot the exact name of the silver but its real close to the color.. they look better in person trust me.. NOOO.. that eclipse is a guy from TEAM IKON in texas.. his car currently is candy red.. when i bought that kit.. and was having it molded on.. i kinda used his as a guideline to mine.. but i didnt want to go or do the same thing that he did.. because it forces me to go out the box with creativity.. i wanted to go futher in detail with performance parts, do more to the interior, gonna do a wire tuck on it, ya know.. stuff like that... people tend to see something they like and want to copy the exact thing they see instead of goin to the next level with it..
