engine and drivetrain M20 Swapped 2002's - Roll Call!

[markwelder]

E30 rear end is in the '02 and oh boy is it wider indeed!  Option A: put on some bottlecaps I have because they're my highest offset wheels, and STILL have to roll out the fenders or do flares.  Option B: find some compatible CV axles that are about 25mm shorter and then re-position the trailing arm mounts inboard.   I figure the required axle would be 27spline outboard, flange inboard and about 548mm compressed length.  I'm looking, fruitlessly.  Has anyone heard of such a thing?   I'd really rather put on my gold 13" BBS wheels, but they're just about in the other lane.

What do you think -- phugly or phenomenal?

The Pumpkin has wheels!  To accommodate the wider E30 subframe that I'm including as part of my swap, my plan was to use 2 Mahle BBS 13's in the front (ET13?), and get ET38 Enkei 13's, paint two of them gold and use them in the back.  Sort of a "reverse stagger"?  The wheels are now in place and the car was momentarily on the ground, so I took a few pics...

I do have 2 more of the Enkei's I could put in front with spacers.  What do you think?

(These tires won't stay... I'm thinking 175/60R13 fronts and 185/70R13 rears.)

Is anyone using the 2002 clutch master cylinder with the M20's Getrag 260 and slave cylinder?  Can it work?

Yep, that’s what I did. Works perfect.
