BTW, what are your tire specs?
Yep, Raised it slightly, trimmed the liner, and increased dampening and she barely rubs anymore. I have not had it aligned yet since I only got the wheels/tires put on yesterday. Tire specs are Dunlop Signature HP 245/40/19s.

Yep you sure can! I'm very happy with this setup and it gives a nice and aggressive stance. Let me know if you need/want some more pics.

Yess... More pics please! The rear looks SUPER flush which looks bad@ss. If you have closer pics of that it would be helpful to see how close it will be. Also if you have pics of the fitment in the front that would be nice too. From your pics, those look like they have a litte more room. I just threw in the BC Coils myself... are you using a camber kit at all?

You'd have basically the same wheel fit but more stretch on the tire. These aggressive wide/square setups look great but will make the g a bit ponderous for daily driving, and especially aggressive spirited driving or occasional track duty.
Here's a pretty good link, it's an M3 so it's not AWD but a lot still applies, and even more so since the wheels are substantially wider.
E46 M3 - The truthiness about square setups and daily driving [TLDR] - E46Fanatics
That's was a good read Brad thanks for sharing the link. Do you troll lots of car sites or what? This is the 1st forum I've been apart of.

So in the writeup the guy pretty much says that square setups aren't worth it in his opinion. Does this apply only be he's a track guy? I mean I know he had trouble on his daily commute as well but it seems like his biggest beef was on the track. I'm sorta already committed to this square setup I have for a while to come. Should I expect any troubles when I copy Simpsons setup bro?

Not square setups per se just wide, square setups. It's just something that's good to know prior to putting a wide, square setup together. A good portion of car mods come w/ compromise so it is what it is. You'll be happy w/ the look and I'd imagine the drive won't be degraded enough to make you feel bad about going that route.
Hope so anyway

I sure hope I don't regret going with 275/30/20 all round. I'm buying a set of Nitto Motivo's that come with a 60k warranty.

Simpson how long have you been running your setup? Are you happy with it performance wise?? Any problems to speak of?

Yeah after I raised it a tiny bit no more rubbing in the rear and after I trimmed the liner and increased the dampening. I get an occasional rub up front on the plastic liner on big bumps/dips even with maxed out hardness. Still, I would like to go lower in the front but the plastic engine underguard is already on the ground. Overall, this setup is aggressive but it isn't bad at all. I DD my G with no problems. I get alot of people breaking their necks to look at her.

No clue, I haven't had the chance to get an alignment yet. But when I was on Eibach springs I had around -1.8 all around so I'm guessing I got to be somewhere around -2.5ish all around. It's all natural camber by the way, no camber kits or toe kits or anything. I'll get it aligned soon and post the specs if you'd like.

Thanks VQ, that would be helpful just to know how much camber you'll need to get the fit you're running. By the looks, at least in back I'm also guessing about -2.5 give or take.
BTW, you take great pics!
