.... just an fyi, a donk is a raised up impala, caprice, monte carlo, etc etc with big rims. Looks like this





big rims does not a donk make. But i'm glad you guys enjoyed the word so much


jkarp1 - nice choice, good size.

Ya know... I always see weird sh1t like that going down the road. I've had more than a few flip me off when I bust out laughing as I turn the corner and look at them at the light. You know... shi1t that just doesn't look right.

It still possesses traits of a donkmobile, but I am eternally grateful for your clarification on the word's etymology, fellow Torontonian.

"Big rims does not a donk make" - Guys don't joking again, ok?

Obviously, sorry didn't think I'd have to point out the obvious. I'll think about you simpletons next time

I had 20 x 10 on my 328ci with no mod al all. Did rub a little on big bumps tho

2. donk

Any POS late 80's or early 90's American heap (preferably an Impala) that has large enough wheels installed until it resembles (and rides and handles like) a Conestoga wagon. This is done so it sits up high enough so as to be at the same eye level as the Playas with real juice ridin in their Escalades. Adding in a bad candy paint job and Wal-Mart sub box completes the transformation.

i seen 20s on an 325ci... but realisticly anything more then 18s you will regret

So does the x 10" stick out from the body much ? its hard to tell by that photo but it looks like it might a bit, but nothing some flares can't fix.

Four pages and a week and this is what you guys tell the OP? I'm thinking maybe Bimmerforums is the place for me after all.

One of you came close with that inappropriate 'maintain before 20s' comment, but that's way besides the point.

OP, the higher you go, the more acceleration you'll loose...substantially so...and then you'll want to SC the car, cut crap off like cats, muffler, ccv, and SAP...then it's the seats, the wife, the kids.

It doesn't have to be that way. Go wide; you don't need to lift, pull, bat, or roll...just go wide.

I don't have a picture of my current set up, but in the front, I'm 16x14 and in the rear 16 x 20...that's right...x 20" wide. My tires protrude about 10" outside of the wheel arches, but I have plenty of clearance, I can go over speedbumps and carry people in the back.

I haven't had to do anything beside just the wheels. I'm surprised you hadn't thought about that too. You have to have seen my car here already, haven't you? I kinda thought that 20 wide in back was sort of a legend here. Oh well.

20 wide ? thats crazy.. crazy unrealistic.

but never the less, thankyou for answering my question...somewhat! so its pretty much as wide as you want it to be ? im thinking 18 x 8.5 on the front and 18 x 9.5 on the back. nothing too crazy..

Listen to DMax. He's a genius. Width is where it's at. He had stock fenders with his wheels but has to custom bend his trailing arms to achieve his -19.3 camber. It's all worth it though. He has no tire wear issues because his toe is set right and he actually never rides on the tire, it's an optical illusion, he rides on the inner lip of the wheel. Sort of like a train on rails.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha... He's f-ing with you. Seriously, first buy a car. Second, spend your money on maintenance first. Later on buy wheels but just get 18x8.5 square so you can rotate them. If you want ricockulous looking wheels go buy something else and leave the BMW's for other people to enjoy

class of 2012.... i can say that now.

Wow that was funny

this seems like the wish list of a teen. glad to see he's selected a realistic wheel size for his nonexistent car though
