245 on the front of an e92

pavo335 · 10-08-2012, 11:04 PM

Hi i am currently running a 235 on VMR VB3's up front but i was wondering if anyone was running or knows if i can run a 245 without rubbing. there seems to be a bit of room (I am running a neg 2.5 degree camber)

Any reason you want to run wider?
Also what's your offset and wheel width?

lol with -2.5 degrees neg camber you can fit 255 up front with the right offset

i'm lowered running 19x8.5 +23 245 up front -1.9*

Would running such a wide front Tyre on a track deteriorate steering/control of car?

If you're running 2.5 camber and have a lot of space, you should be able to run a 245 depending on the brand. It's approx. 10mm wider. Remember you'll still need to turn though :P
