Happy Birthday to Me!! (Tires & PIC)

[Bryson]

Hey, we have the same birthday! Although I got nothing like that for my car... my brothers got me an is lip, let's hope it lasts longer than the reiger one.
Those wheels are beautiful, and I'm with Jordan, run a 215/45

oh, and if shes the nicest girlfriend in the world, i trust u got a Bday BJ too!?

I stand by my words. THE BEST.

I'll beg to differ.

The fiancee has funded the e30 from the get go, including various ACS (shift knob, ebrake, badges)parts for the car, a new rear apron, my suspension setup, and various other things.

She loves bimmers too, M5s being her favorite.

Its his birthday, dont try to whore attention about your girlfriend/fiance. A simple "Thats awesome! Congrats!" Would suffice just fine.


As for tire sizing:
Stock = 195/65/14
with a 205/50/16 You will have .4% inaccuracy on your speedo. When it reads 60mph, you will be doing 60.2 mph/
with a 205/45/16 You will have 3% error. When the speedo reads 60mph, you will be traveling 58.2mph
with a 215/45/16 You will have 1.5% error. When the speedo reads 60mph, you will be traveling 59.1mph.

Given that, I'd run either the 205/50/16 or the 215/45/16 tires.

Run the 215/45, wider is better.
