      You got the staggered Kerscher K-Futuras right? Did you decide on what size tires you're going with?

                Yes I have the staggered Futuras, No I haven't decided on what size because I am having the hardest time trying to find a tire in 225/40/17. I don't want 225/45 because I am very paranoid about it fitting. I know you reassured me that it will work, but I still have my doubts. Nitto is the only brand I could find that makes a 225/40 and I hate Nitto. So, I'm still thinking about going 215/40 all around. I've been through this already with you guys, and you're all probably thinking "Just get some damn tires already", but I want to make sure that it's going to work the first time. I also don't want a huge tire in the back because I don't want my car to look jacked up in the rear. What are your thoughts Chris?

                      Actually, I don't recommend 225/45R17's up front, as that is a larger rolling diameter than my 235/40R17's and I'm pretty sure I've maxed out the front (although my wheel is an inch wider than yours up front). Anyway, I recommended a 215/45R17 up front with 235/40's out back. I really think it would be the perfect setup. That is what I had planned when I was going to run 7.5/8.5 except now I'm going 8.5/9.5.

                        Chris, you probably misunderstood me. I was planning on running 215/40 up front and I wanted to do 225/40 in the rear, but no one makes that size that I am fond of. So know I'm thinking about doing 215/40 and 235/40. I would like to find a pic of a 235/40/17 tire actually on the wheel. I want to see how high the tire comes up off the wheel.

                        Gunni, Does your e30 have the lower rear fender arches or the higher ones?
