this thread saddens me.
i have a set of brand new 235/35/19 and 275/30/19 michelin pilot sports available too me for half price. but i plan to slam the car and it looks as if i will run into big problems in the rear but what im seeing. i thought the car was able to handle those tires but i guess not

Not if the offset isn't too aggresive, than 275/30 should fit fine.

lonestar22 · 08-09-2009, 07:02 PM

im looking at a few wheels right now all offsets somewhere in the mid thirties. i was looking at 22et at one point but i think that may be too much

keep them coming guys!

Awesome thread, really helped me out with my setup. I will soon be running 19x8.5 +28 w/ 235/35/19 Michelin PS2's and 19x10 +33 w/ 275/30/19 Kuhmo Ecsta SPT.

Looks good Jay! I was afraid the 265s would look stretched on the 10" wide rim, but looks JUST RIGHT! Nice

Thanks. TR recommends 225 and 255. I stepped up a size to avoid the stretched look. I've run 225s on an 8.5" before and didn't like the look.

18 inch Style 260 Hyper Black M3 reps
Square setup 8.5 et40 235/40/18 no spacers, stock suspension

I have since put 5mm spacer in the front and 20mm in the rear.

Ride quality compared to stock 17inch RFT's, is like night and day. Acually feels like a luxury car now!

MassBimmer · 12-28-2009, 05:07 PM

Nice first post, looks good but needs a drop!

MTibbs · 12-28-2009, 05:25 PM

Sorry the car is filthy but you'll get the idea of what the spacers did. Same set up as above 18x8.5 et 40 on all four wheels, 235/40 tires on the front and back. Front has 5mm spacer, back has 20mm spacer.

XDEEDUBBX · 12-28-2009, 05:54 PM

VMR VB3
Fronts 19.8.5 +40
Rear 19x10 +25

I forgot the exact details on my tire size but I know the fronts are 245 and rears are 265.

Stock sport suspension no roll or cutting.

Hello Jay have you got any better pics? I'm thinking of this exact setup but 9.5" rear. Thanx!

I've got several others. PM me with your e-mail and I'll send them along. If there's something special you want let me know. All I have is a digital point-n-shoot but taking pics is easy as long as it isn't raining. Not much sunshine these days where I live.

ElegantSpoon · 12-29-2009, 11:17 AM

You have a PM

MTibbs · 01-03-2010, 03:28 PM

Im still thinking if I should go to a 9.5 in rear or just leave it the way it is. Don't know if ill see much of a difference.
