    maybe i suck at driving, but if i floor it in second i loose grip in the back, constantly. idk why. i had sport tires and those ate shit eventually, then i got normal street tires. and theyre even worse with the grip :(.
    i beat a porsche cayanne on the highway tho. silly minivans!

        is anyone else thinking: if you don't track your car, and feel you need more tire than what fits on an 8" wheel, you are driving WAY too fast for the street.

        secondly, you put 2" spacers on 8" wheels and you dont rub? what offset are teh wheels?

            I think everyone agrees with that.

              i dont know the offset. i have never seen these rims before. here are some pics. also the offset is very weird. i needed spacers to clear the struts and shocks. though the size spacer i got was a bit overkill. here are some pics

                I can understand you asking this question because you're curious.

                But I honestly can not wrap my head around how you think 10in tires on there would look good. I won't argue that functionality and fuel economy drops; people put subs in there cars and turbo them. Having that wide of wheels just murders everything that looks good about an E30 IMO.

                So in the answer to your question, is there anything wrong this idea: Yes, everything. You will not be gaining anything other than a look preferred by you, and the driving dynamics will suffer.

                  My e30 last winter with 175 width snow tires, 6 degrees of camber and 300ft/lbs of torque barely spun tire if I floored it in second gear. Idk what the hell you're doing.
