Best drag tire/wheels?

2blu4u · 06-12-2014, 04:08 PM

Ive got an 07' 335i sport. I'm FBO and RB turbo upgrade/BMS flash no meth or e85 as of yet. I need opinions of the best drag tires and a cheap set of OEM style wheels as I will only be changing the rear on track days. Thanks for the input!

I just purchased a set of drag wheels and tires. I am testing them out tomorrow I will let you know what I think. I'm Fbo and running a E30 race map.
Apex ARC-8 17x9.5 16.9 lbs each
Toyo TQ drag radials 275/40/17

So far the fitment is perfect!

Price range 800-900 total. And well worth it! I was very impressed with the cars performance. I had many people asking if my car was an XI since my launches were so good! Not one car jumped me all night. I did lose to an E63 but not by much and I shifted too early lol. Go for it this set up works!

Is your car e92? Did the 275 fit in the rear without rubbing?

Its a E90 so fitment was perfect. I think it will work on the E92 as well.

Very happy with the set up! I went to the finals but ended up losing. I hit my kick down button like a dummy lol

Hello I'm doing a 15" conversion on my e90 335i, I've put 328i e91 rotors on, 328i e91 calipers on, used my 335i brake pads, and I'm trying to use my oem bracket but I'm running into the issue that it rubs on the wheel, so my question is what bracket to I need to run the 15" conversion? I'd think a 328 bracket but I haven't been able to find any information on that

Can you shave the caliper bracket down where it touches the wheel just enough so it clears?
