Got my Volks!! No more run-flats!

Mark Chen · 04-01-2006, 08:31 PM

[QUOTE=wheeler]Offsets are 30 in the front and 45 in the rear, with a 15mm H & R Wide Track spacer kit taking the rear to +30. Tires are 235 35 R19 front, 265 30 R19 rear.

Nice rims!!
We got the exact same rear offset, spacer size and tire size
but I get light rubbing issue on my rear left wheel only when I make right turn

Are you stock or lowered? I'm stock ZSP and no sign of rubbing with 200 lb of groceries and 3 kids in the back.

Wheels look hot and lowering will compliment the wheels more.

Uh.. WHAT???

What I saw up above was MAJORLY stretched, far from being the best setup for "optimal handling". I see the rim sizes above, what size are the tires?

Do you carry a spare or tire plugs, compressor, etc in the trunk? You've got a brass pair of balls, ....and an amazing setup w/ the volks. Get pics and specs when you get the chance.

What you're seeing is a tire with no rim guard protruding past the rim lip, which is real different from the stock setup, and makes it look more 'stretched.' On a stock E90 with ZSP the tread edge is also well inside the lip of rim--it just doesn't look like it with the rim guard sticking out. My rear tires are 265 on a 9.5 wheel, front are 245 on a 8.5 wheel. Check with fitment experts if you'd like. Since its all been done before there's no need to reinvent the wheel.

mmmmhh i still like my run-flats. sorry. also too much money to spend on tires and wheels.. naa.

Looks good man, I love the lip....

RPM90 · 04-13-2006, 04:22 PM

It almost looks like the beat is stretched too wide for the wheel.
Instead of having a vertical sidewall, it looks tapered inward towards the tread. That's what look awkward. It's as if the wheel is too wide for those tires.

The size of tire may be "right" for that width rim, but not all tires are made the same nor fit the same. Even the rim protectior portion of the tire doesn't appear to even make it as far as the rims lip, let alone protrude a bit past it.

I don't know. To me it looks like the tire is not wide enough for those rims, as opposed to others who run tires that are too wide for the rims and thus end up "pinching" the tire.

They do look a bit narrow, maybe 10 mm, 20 mm max...
