iansexotics · 06-23-2022, 10:52 AM

Hey I have a bmw 335i e90, pretty modified with a st kit does anyone have a recommendation of tires for 600whp+

r888

Depends on how much you're willing to spend. If you're on a budget, Firestone Indy 500's are the best bang for the buck. If you got the money, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

I considered r888 but I do daily this car still and those aren't really good for rain at all

335i54n · 06-23-2022, 08:00 PM

you got too much power, compromises. you got a pre lci, i would go 295 rears, which is a somewhat common size with wide selection in 18. just leave traction on and go ez in the wet. michelin summers are pretty good in moderate wet.

iansexotics · 06-23-2022, 08:03 PM

Thanks you that's some helpful information I have apex 18 inch wheels

335i54n · 06-23-2022, 08:09 PM

255/35/18, 295/30/18 is my future setup I plan for. I just found a rim with a wide size range and been buying different sizes

iansexotics · 06-23-2022, 08:16 PM

I have 255/35/r18 all around and it rubs really bad, I have some spacers to clear the front spring perch and 15mm in the rear

335i54n · 06-23-2022, 08:21 PM

I am stock msport ride height and suspension. 255 rubs a tiny in front fender corner only. 8.5 et35 front, 9.5 et35 rear 255/275. not sure what coilover, rim and ride height factors in your situation

iansexotics · 06-23-2022, 08:23 PM

If I'm honest I don't remember all my wheel width and stuff but I'm lowered on bc coil overs

335i54n · 06-23-2022, 08:25 PM

bc have good clearance in general, you must Not have the best offset/rim combo to need spacers

iansexotics · 06-23-2022, 08:27 PM

I think your right but I took these coil over of a car I'm doing a engine rebuild on it drove fine with no spacers didn't hit the spring perch or anything On the same wheels

335i54n · 06-23-2022, 08:31 PM

^u got to dig deeper obviously something off or youre too low? gl

iansexotics · 06-23-2022, 08:32 PM

Yea I'll look at it this weekend

whyzee125 · 07-05-2022, 01:16 PM

Turn the power down in rainy months.
