Default Zolf's tee-eye

Oi,

Wicked thing you got going. This forum is great. The first car I ever drove was my old man's E21. Then I played around with a '95 318i for a while until I found the tee-eye. Heated sport seats still work, paint is decent and it’s not leaking a drop.

Specs:
'98 M-Sport
Mileage: 162 000 km
Colour: AvusBlau

Can I fit 19's on her without having to trim the wheel wells/fenders?

Really doubt that. Why would you want 19's....

Well, I don't want to lower the car. Driving on snowy roads is a pain in the ass. So I figured getting 18's or 19's would at least make it look like it's lowered. No?

I'll snap pics for you today. You can get it on eBay. Comes with 3M adhesive on the back but I bolted it down (carwash and such). Let me know if you want the eBay store.

I personally think 17's are the biggest you should put on a Ti

Didn't get home early enough to snap day pics but did my best. Let me know if you still need day pics. I can do it over the weekend.

Don't file down the corners under the fin to "even it out". It wont fit as well. The eBay store I got it from seems to be the best in terms of quality/paint. After many many Toronto rainy days...the paint still looks new.

eBay store: e.auto.bay2008
