depends on offset, and tyre width aswell.

i have 17x9" rear, 17x8" front

the fronts sit in the guard a little bit with 235's on them

and the rears sat perfectly in the guards with 255's, but get a tiny bit of scraping on the guards with the current 275's on them.

20 x 8.5" front and rear with 225/30 tyres fit a R33 without any guard mods.

I have a set, will sell em to ya for $1800

[Michael] can you camber adjust a R33 at the front?

max camber I've gotten from the front is -2.5; im not sure if you can get anymore with the stock suspension arms

how did u adjust the camber? i cant seem to find anything to adjust it as it seems you cant get adjustable camber tops for whales.

yeap no camber tops for r33 :O you need upper or lower control arms (i cant remember which one lol)

not sure how it is done, i just go to the wheel alignment people give me 2.5 camber and they do it LOL! i think if i remember right it has soemthing to do with the bushes :P

these rims will fit... i have the same size wheels on my car and its on the floor!!! i have the rear guard sitting on the rim and have no clearance problems. i do however have problems chewing tyres out but thats all part of having such a low car. when your car is this low then u wheel align the rear the tyres straight again, it will rub!

tempe tyres said that they will be fine as long as it is 19-8 on the front and 19-9.5 on the back hopefully

....... always say that, might need spacer on front cos of caliper, unless u ordered a custom offset or they got it right. Dont need to roll the guards if u get falkens, otherwise yes! or u will shave your tyre (front) when taking humps at an angle (assuming you are lowering it)

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
