    Rears will probably rub if there not cambered. Fronts should be fine.

      Im thinking street driving and wet lapping i'll be okay. This is current stance with 16x8.5 et17 front et19 rear.


      Its dry lapping with full body roll that I think may cause issues. Not a huge deal since the k1s are my dry wheels anyway.

      I think the xxrs will poke to much for this:

        I think you'll need some flares. et0 is pretty pokey.

          Im open to flares, just haven't seen any I really like and have a few bigger projects for this car that need to get done like the sc install and cage. I'll just have to see how it works out once I have the wheels and tires mounted up.

            It took some work but with the dtm flares and big tires I have no rub at all. Even at full lock to lock with the Z3 rack. Im interested how yours turn out.

                Forgot about this thread. Here is a mock up with the jack in place:




                Needs a little fender pulling, but it will fit. Should be done this weekend.

                Here is the car on the J Stock suspension with the 225/50/16 Star Specs:




                I'll post up some more when I get the fenders pulled more.

                      I didn't really care for these wheels until now. They look really good on both the green and black cars.

                        Couple from a test fit today.






                        Still rubbing a tiny bit in the rear, going to pull them a bit more and try again Saturday.
