FFFFFUUUUUUU- ok. ill just waste my money on something else i guess

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

LOL you shot me down !!!

definitely should watch myself though and use words only approved by qualified individuals like you ! send me a pm with other words I might be hated on by everyone for saying and I'll send ya a dollar for everytime I slip up

A list of words and my paypal will be in your messages by tonight.

No, were making fun of him for asking a stupid question. Same reason everyone on here already hates you simply because you used the word "Hella".

That never ever happened to me. Maybe because stockish m42 and 205 star specs?

I could spin 30 treadwear tires in 2nd with a simple m30.... fwiw.

My m10 could spin 205 rt615s like it was nobody's business.

[akorcovelos]

I was spinning 245 t1r's half way through 2nd at the track, though not a drag strip which makes a big difference. Honestly, without major fender cutting and flairs you will never fit a proper width tire on a 10" wheel.

[FunfGan]

For real? My m42 can chirp second with 205's....

Mine couldn't... Cam'd and chipped too haha.

For real? My m42 can chirp second with 205's....

on a prepped drag strip?
on the street the car woul spin all the way into 4th if i let it....g250+3.73lsd=rediculous gearing lol

[GunMetalGrey]

what? i doubt it! on a prepped track on 7" wide wheels with 205/45's on my m50 vert i couldn't even get them to spin and i was dumping it at 3400 down the 1/4! didn't even chirp 2nd!

so no, probably won't be faster....


but hey, if you wana be a fag, by all means

For real? My m42 can chirp second with 205's....
