After dancing around on wheel sizes, based on what I'm trying to accomplish with my build, my budget and the look I wanted I think I have landed on 15" wheels. I think if are fitted right, they are pr
Build:
This is my first E30, It's a 1988 325is. Great shape, motor was junk. It's getting a swap. This will not be a DD, my focus is building my first autox/track car that can be streetable. There will be a build thread soon, I have been working on the car and collecting parts. Once I feel like I have enough to start a decent thread you'll see my toy.
Budget:
It's not small, but I don't have a speedshop/race car fund where I'm able to drop 30-40k into a car. I want to have 1 set of street wheels/tires. then a set of track wheels. Even at a 15" size, 2 sets of wheels, street and r comp tires will add up.
Look:
"Because racecar".......I have access to a fender roller, and if all else fails I'll give KAMOTORS some money for a nice pair of is flares. I want meats on the ground, below are the 2 wheels I'm looking at. MSR for street, TRM C1 for track.
Tire size:
I'd like to run 224 or 235 wide in the front
I'd like to run 245 or 255 wide in the back
Here is where I need you input, can you guys Lay down some tire brands you would recommend for street and track use. If there is a brand good for both I'd take that too. And your favorite place to source these tires. I have a couple more suspension parts to buy then this is next. Let me know!!
