Okay, I just picked up a set of 18" rims (got a great deal on 'em). Anyways, I'm running stock suspension and was wondering if anyone had pics of 18"s with stock suspension. I want to know just how bad it will look, or if it will look alright.

Oh, and here's a pic of the rims I got

Well I've never seen an E36 on 18"s without a drop so I really don't know how it will look. The overall profile is staying the same so I don't think it'll look too bad, just curious though.

I have 18's on my TI. I am running stock suspension (For now, this will be changing in the spring). My car is a sport so I believe they sit a little lower. Here are two threads I started on DTMPower of pictures I have taken of my car.

Thanks man. That looks really good. I may see if I can pick up a used set of Mtech springs for a ti and just go with those if I want to drop it since you're looks pretty much perfect IMO.

Not stock suspension, but it was lowered when I bought it so I am not sure what kit is on it. The springs are purple, I should post a pic and see if anyone can tell me what brand they are...

I know that the rear shock towers were braced due to cracking caused by the large sway bars. I need to get it up on a lift or some stands and spend some time on the crawler checking out the underside.

More pics HERE (http://www.futureknight.com/bmw.htm) for those interested.
