I just suggest you roll um to be safe, no harm in that and its fairly inexpensive... but its your ride so whatever.

I would not go to Zimbrick, why give those aholes the business? Tires Plus will charge you $100 to do it on 19's but they've always been good with my rims, no scratching or anything. You could always try Monona Tire, I hear good things about them. Or you can try Discount Tire over in Middleton next to Biaggi's.

I also know there is a Tire Rack recommended installer at 2583 University Ave, just don't know what/who that is, think it might be the Import Auto Clinic I've seen over there maybe?

I might take it to Discount Tire. They mounted tires on my wheels for the Audi that is now on the GTI and didn't scratch it up. Since my friends dont work at tires plus anymore, I don't trust them all too much.

As for rubbing, we can test fit the wheels and tires next week when I get them and go from there. If I need to roll them I can do it that day too. Rolling is easy peasy if you know what you're doing.

Offset for the rears are 37 I think and 30 for the fronts. I think Seth might be right. It'll be real close. Not too worried because I can roll my fenders at home. The key is HEAT so the paint doesn't crack. Other than that you'd have to be a moron to really eff it up lol. We'll find on by next Wednesday or whenever my wheels get here.

My tires are continental dw's...heard they ride really nice as is minimal or no road noise and handles ok. I don't plan on tracking my car so Im more concerned with ride comfort. Plus I got the set of four for cheap because of my hook up ! Tire rack would've cost me 900 shipped. I got it for less! But I can't disclose price.

Nice let me know how it all goes. My rear offset is 35 so if urs doesn't fit mine won't. I don't think well even need to roll cause I have 275 35 18 and doesn't rub. Going up to 275/30/19 is basically the same with a very slight increase in overall diameter

I had no problems with Pahl tires right by the capital, you may want to get a quote from them though...

Can't wait to get new shoes...hey does anyone know where to get tires mounted without them fucking anything up? I don't want my new wheels scratched. You guys trust Zimbrick?

[nood1es]

yo noel, when would be free to burn me a spare 2.0 chip? It can be after your vegas trip tooo..whenever.

[UdubBadger]

i think he wants it in writing that you're gonna keep the JB3 this time.

[nood1es]

I WILL KEEP THE JB3!!!! Not selling it!!

[UdubBadger]

you should sell it and get the eurocharged tune cuz it now includes a flash at home tool so you can go from stock to tune without installing anything.

[Darkcyd_Turbo]

Yeah I can...I'll have it ready when you're ready to install the jb3z

[nood1es]

aight cool man thanks..ehh about flashes. Theres not much ppl running it nor do they seem like pm'n me back about info that's correct...ie talking about jb3 where u have to splice into the harness while their flash doesn't require that. And i'd like to jump from maps if I use pump gas or race gas.

And im talking about the ec flash.

what do you want to know? why do you keep thinking I don't have info on it? I know more than just about the 328 flash ya know...

[nood1es]

Well chaulk up another potential fuel pump failure!!! Fml, least this time when I completely stalled out it was 10' from my driveway.

[UdubBadger]

wow, lemon? how many is that for you?

[nood1es]

will be the 3rd. I'm filling out lemon law info for sites already. Gonna get all the work order from dealer as well. Hopefully I have them all. Will they ask me anything, if i ask for one that was from a previous..like the first one? =\

And i know it has to be 4 times for the wi lemon law. WHich sucksssssssss!

[rmlink]

Wow, a lots changed since I've been on this site!

Noel, I need to change my rear tires this summer. Very interested in how the 275's work for you.

Vu, That sucks man. I never know you went through that many HPFP's. At least yours is under warranty. I had my pump go out during this winter and just got done replacing it with the new model BMW came out with in Feb with serial number ending in 943. WHAT A PITA!!! One battle after another replacing it. Crossing my fingers that they actually solved the problem. The new pump was a little heavier then the old one so maybe more metal instead of plastic is used.

[nood1es]

well technically 4th pump including new one but 3rd time ill be going in. U replaced it on your own?

[rmlink]

Yeah, I try to do all my own work. Were all your other pumps replaced before February? The 943 version is the 3rd version. I had the 2nd version installed by BMW under warranty last May. Needless to say it didn't last me to long. BMW is suppose to replace your fuel pressure sensors when they install a new HPFP, so I decided not to replace them this time.

[nood1es]

yeah i got the old version pump. Dunno how well the new one are doing atm.
