Those are 19's CSL replicas.

Spec -;

19x8.5 front with 235/35/19 rubber
19x9.5 rear with 255/30/19 rubber

They fit really well imo!

I've never seen a photo of an E85 with the minimal boot-lid open either. :poke:

But FWIW the E86 tailgate when opened leaves the "rear" windows in place and opens above that.

ETA The photo above seems to cover that. :laugh:

Nice Coupe. Despite bing in a roadster I still think the Coupe is a great car. Wish I could have kept mine and had both.

Thank you!

First problems haha, I noticed this weird "clunk" coming from the rear end/front or passangers side of the car.

it seems to happen over bumps/speedbumps etc. I guess it can be a snapped spring but from a quick look I can't see anything.

will lift the car up on saturday and investigate the rear. Any recommendations for replacement springs for msport suspension? I'm quite happy with the way the car sits but if I have to I don't mind dropping eibachs on the back(guess it wont make big difference doing the rear only as it's what 10mm drop compared to msport?)

if it's not the spring what else could be clunking? :lol:
