Last chance before going to "the Bay" I would rather not put these up for sale on Ebay so please make an offer if you are interested. I have a good set of Blizzaks mounted on 15 inch steel wheels with covers for sale and also a nice set of BMW 5 spoke wheels with near new Falken tires on them. Go to http://www.easternmotorwerks.com/yardsale/yardsale.htm for pictures and details. Thanks, Jamie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!

No 15" wheel will ever fit an E36 M3. Your quest is even more futile than trying to sell another E36 M3 on this list ;-) alex f Yeah, 15" wheels would fit my wife's 328i, but what the hack would I do with Blizzaks in TX? ;-) Jamie Harris <emotorwerks@ To: E36M3 <e36m3@bmw-m.net> yahoo.com> cc: Subject: [E36M3] Wheels/tires FS.

Go to the tools section at www.ultimategarage.com or you can fabricate your own by cutting the portion of a 14mm allen wrench and epoxing it to a 14mm socket. -Justin 95 M3

A Craftsman socket might not fit. I use a Facom 14mm hex socket. With a Facom ratchet, there's not much room let to get the socket in. Also, a Snap On socket would probably work as well.

The additional caster of the 96+ M3 comes from the control arms, which pull the strut about 10 mm forward at the bottom. There's lots of opportunity to mix, match - and screw up! - the 95 and 96+ parts. Neil 96 M3
