225's are damn skinny the rear will break loose easy and fronts push out on power too soon , like uturns under power without a clutch kick lol

My fronts are 245 ,rears 285 on 18's no hitting at all if your not dumped in the weeds

and your alignment is setup properly

And the offset is near stock cfr what stock was?

If you can get a few fingers between your front gaurd and tyre your prob ok unless you hit a pot hole while turning or curb driveway at full lock

if anything bend the inner lip of the guard near the top , folded it tighter just a bit so the tyre wont grab it and flog it , make sure the liner is held up properly too

If the offset is higher than about +35 the wheels will more than likely hit your suspension anyway. A 9j +20 will sit nice and flush with the front of a 33 and the rear can go a little lower in offset or higher in width.

Haha change brake pads ebc yellow or A1RM by qfm, some RBF 600 or 660 brake fluid then well setup coilovers and you will beat him

Edit - when you beat him with 200kw he will be crying and Mallala is a brakes track too so having 320kw without touching his brakes he will be trying to stop at 300meter if you sort good brakes out oyou will go deeper

    • 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.
