lovely car,

just an observation from your initial RE your style 32's - they arent the same specs as what are on your car, i can tell from just looking

The specs you quoted are the e46 fitment non - dished versions.

the ones you have are 8J Front ET20, 9J Rear ET22.

The very corner has slightly thinner rubber and its not lying 100% correct but i think it will be better with time
