I've got a set of ACS Type III staggered on order identical to yours... Mind answering a few Q's for me about these pics:

What spacers are you running?
What tire specs are you running?
Many thanks! Kurt
I think the spacers are 7mm front, 10mm rear (but that's just from my dodgy memory).
Types are P Zero 235/40/18 and 285/30/18 (the rears are the wider of the 2 ACS recommended rear fitments, they also recommend a 265). The 285 offer a large amount of rim protection standing probably around 10mm proud.
I keep toying with buying another new set myself rather than getting these refurbed.Last edited by Fat Tony; 21-08-2013, 07:10 PM.Not actually in the least bit fat

Thanks for the kind welcome... I'm just a lowly '98 2.8 Roady owner over in the states (same 'kojohns' on bimmerforums.com), but getting close finishing my "M" rear-end conversion and then moving to the more fun VF S/C install
I've been a huge fan of ACS aesthetics on the Z3 series for a long time. Here's what the roadster looked like last fall... once everything is mounted up, I'll have to post some new pics with the Type IIIs... 2nd pic is a mock-up ;-)
Thanks for the tire specs... they are exactly what I suspected you might be running in the rear... nice meaty-ness that I like ;-) I've got a new set of 245-35 and 285-30 mounted to some SSR GT3 18x8.5 and 18x10's ... but I just didn't care for the look and bit the bullet on what I really wanted... ACS Type III monoblocks.
SSR GT3s that'll be going up for sale after the ACS arrives:

Yeah, the KTM is the best bike I've ever ridden - a great brand never scared of deviating from the norm (only let down by the fact that they drastically reduce model prices just after you've paid full-up for one, lol)Not actually in the least bit fat

Kurt, great mockup. They'll look awesome!
Now what's with masking the face of your model with the top of the screen?Not actually in the least bit fat
