there is no such thing as a wheel that is too wide for an e21. its the job of the e21 to keep up with the wheel :)

and the dish on that is smaller than my image rims i think but goes in a shit load more than mine. im guessing tubbing of the rear quite a lot. what rear arches are you going to roll with or going to flare the standard items?

Remember, this is the guy that is 'back-halfing' his car and putting a 9inch Ford rear axle in. he should have enough clearance...
