i think you said it all in the post you just wrote... and the reason why i don't need to read it all
you buy into all the hype and all the bull ****... you want to build something memorable? you want to be different? stop doing only what people say can be done, modding cars is expensive not because of parts or labor but because **** breaks all the time, and thats the way you learn.
any modification is dangerous if not done right, from go fast parts to lowering to something as simple as wiring.. do your homework, make sure you know what your getting into, and make sure the upkeep is worth it to you
they make tires with reinforced side walls, i drive around with a tire pressure gauge and check pressure once a week, i have to flip my tires once a year or so and tires only last me maybe two years.. but im ok with all that

That's what I'm doing, just received the links in the mail Friday. Going to install them Wednesday. Not slamming it but just above the tire if that makes sense so no visible wheel gap.

Looks sick man, love the lip on the rear wheels makes it look even wider. What are you running now? I had no idea you could go that wide up front without rubbing, what is the widest you can go in the back and front, do you know the exact numbers?

i just started with the same specs as M3toE55 had
19x9.5/11 +20/+25
i need to run a 5 mil spacer maybe less like a micro 2/3 mil spacer and the fronts i had fenders made (hence the primer in the pic) that are about an inch wider so that is why i can run a 10 up front, right now with my specs i can probably fit a 10 mil spacer

Oh nice okay I just noticed that in the photo, it was right behind the mirror so for some reason I dismissed it for whatever reason lol. You're so lucky you're in Arizona, I want to run really wide summer tires in staggered but 1) 4-Matic (I know it's possible but not advisable) 2) bane of my existence - snow. How are the roads there, smooth and rock-free like Florida or horrible and stone-filled like here and the mid-west? I have another set of wheels with Michelin Pilot MXM4s on them which I might use as winter wheels but already invested in 18x8.5s all around and all new A/S tires.

roads are pretty bad in tucson, at least compared to the greater phoenix area...
but the car isn't low enough for roads to be a factor in ride quality, my E is a very reasonable height.. i don't consider it "slammed" compared to my other cars

@crafty:**** son. looks like the fitment is on point...legit! send me more pics! step it up to 10's in the front and we'll be running the same diameter setup.
@m3: maybe in the near future. i love the vs-kf's but not really diggin it on the 211.
@darkie: your 211 looks like mine right now. wheels are off getting redone, again.
@AMG: to each their own, thanks for the comments though! my 211 is a hardparked daily..so, we'll just leave it at that.

i haven't really taken any pics because its still all beat up with the fenders and what not... none of the aero is on either
damn your running 10's up front? whats the off set up front? i def want to move up to 10's but i think i want new wheels
i bought the varrstoens on a whim for a grand brand new... but i think that is the worst part about the car. looking at dpe sp10
or these s20
but i kind of like these too
but i've always loved ordens
lol idk yet, im leaning towards the first ones... or the ordens
but def go a little more aggressive and low disk all around for BIG lips
thinking like 19x11 +17 19x10 +22

s10s: someone on the e60 forums was stanced out on those and it looked pretty hard.
s20s: i'm personally just tired of the mesh look. unless it's the varianza t1s.
ordens: i've always loved ordens, i'm thinking about that or the varianza t1s as my next set.
i'd go with either the 5 split spoke dpe or ordens. love your taste in wheels mang. as far as offsets are concerned, i'll text you with the numbers when i get the wheels back on.

yea i like those s20's cause they remind me of the ssr professors
the s10's and the ordens are top of my list but there are a lot of ordens out there already so idk we'll see what happens, but thanks!
the wheels are off your car? is it down again for body work?

nah, not body work. getting some work done on the wheels again.
dude those professor ms3 looks sick! you should get the s20s in 18 and step it to 19. or do 19 step to 20. and slam it. that would look so sick.

Where did you get your E63 front bumper? Did you need any other special parts or anything? I really want to do this just have to find a good way to paint it without playing $600.
