Default Because Wagon (cm_weiand's 325it build)

09/06/2011
The name is Christopher, stancing the wagon is the new game.

I purchased my wagon about 9 months ago and have since upgraded wheels, tires, grills, rotors, pads, and polyurethane bushings.

Now I am ready to move on to upgrading my suspension with KW Variant 3's, which brings me to this Mecca of Stance! I have joined stanceworks.com so i can get the most out of my future coilover purchase, future spacer purchase, and next tire purchase.

Here is my 325it sitting on Style 269 BMW Performance wheels. Front 18x8 and Rear 18x8.5.


Currently running 225/40 18 in the front and 255/35 18 in the rear (needs stretching)




Looking forward to having some Fun.

11/06/2011

Alrighty guys time for an update, i have my KW V3s installed and have been having a blast with my wagons new handling abilities, and amazing good looks with being nice and low.

Here are few pics











12/13/11

Here's a little update... Purchased new tires for the back, 225/40 on my 8.5in rear wheels. Very happy with the results of the tire size change. Ended up giving my car way to much gap between the rear fenders, so the night i installed them ordered 20mm spacers. Also i have finally replaced my window regulator in the rear so i tinted my windows 20% all around.
Enjoy the pics.

here is the new rear tire and fitment.


now trying to be a little artsy.

If you look at the rear wheels, youll see camber, lol i think its at 2.4 degrees. front is a little milder to keep tire ware to a minumum.
