bmw 750il wheels work
and yeah, Custom Image Flares got me again.... the opening isn't the same right to left; that said, it's not a huge thing to fix - but it does give flesh to the warning I got from the guy whose C3 was the template for the flares (don't finish the flares until you have the wheels)
but the offset works
and it doesn't hit the wheel opening when turning
thankfully the right side is correct.... so it's just a matter of copying
back side looks good.... the 'real' wheels will be wider, but this, for now, works

*sigh*

so BMW's use the same 5x4.75" pattern? or is the C5 ( C6? i forget....) i different
pattern than the common gm 5x4.75? just wondering--i see tons of em on craigs,
that opens up a world of options for 'trasher' wheels and tires...thanks man!

it is why I didn't - I do know that I'll be pretty chapped if, when this is done, CIC says anything about them being their flares....

leveled the nose and it is close enough that I'm not going to mess with it - Keep in mind that I'm painting this black (or a dark color) so edges really blend
progress pictures
I need to brace the rear assembly, before the body lift
then I need to lay the coil over over... so that's a notch
how, in all that's holy, does fiberglass look like it rusted?
ugh

We add 3/4" bolts and remove body pucks..
Feel your pain.. We do not want to torch off unless have to..
Fiberglass..
Most likely wrench in the hole, socket/impact on bottom... Unless it strips or rust seize.
Probably best in long run to just saw them out..
