E30 Suspension

["Kenny Fleshman" <kenny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Seriously, guys, about the wheels...

I have completed body work and interior on my 85 325e project. Engine has
new timing belt/tensioner/pump, plugs, wires etc., K&N cone and soon a chip.
Mild temporary exhaust mods.

I am now ready to approach the suspension from a street/show car perspective
(no track time envisioned). I am looking at Susp, Tech. springs, Bilsteins
and a Susp. Tech. anti-roll bar kit, front & rear. The BIG question is
wheels & tires. Many opinions, and I can do the math, but what will really
fit and work well for me? I am thinking TSW Hocks, Konig Villain or MIM
Vento, 16x7 with 245/45 tires (Potenzas? Yokos? Dunlops?). I cannot afford
trial and error, and the simulators on the websites only go so far.

I appreciate real-world response. I am having a ball rebuilding this lil
bimmer from an abusive home. Next comes the brakes... the body kits...

Also, any experience with the BMWCCA in or near the Chattanooga (home of the
true bubba!) area?

Thanks for all replies
