LTW's for my 5 Lug E30

[BMW_TUNER]

Found a local guy selling what he thought were M3 rims on CL. Decided since he was just up the road from me I would take a look. Here is what I bought five of for $600 with ES100's





five Original Bmw LTW rims with Serial number and almost no curbing. New Hotness for my dirty car. DSII's for sale soon.

What size DS2 where you running with tires sizes please ? TIA

I ask because I am about to do staggered DS2's and have heard some say I will have serious understeer with the set up. Any suggestions ??

Mad props also to the new wheels .... I like

I was running 225/40/17 front and 255/40/17 rear BFG KDW's on my staggered DSII's. If you stick to about a 225/235 setup the understeer is not that bad but if you go all crazy like I did the understeer is huge. I finaly raised the rear a little to cause it to get light to make the car more neutral. This current setup is so flickable it is insane.

I was thinking on going 235/40 rear 215/40 front but I also have Koni top adjustables front and rear. So I could in theory I can soften the fronts and turn the rears up some or all the way. And if needed I could paly with tire pressures as well to battle understeer. The damn thing about it is there is not a great selection of tires available where you can have a matching set in 225 or 245's.

I think you can get mathing BFG KDW 2's but I would go with ES100's. They are garbage in bad weather but the steering response is amazing. If you of look at tire rack they have ES 100's on closeout.

Cool I will look into them. I was sorta planning the KDW2 as I had them on the wheels in my sig and liked them fairly well. Although I only put 500 miles on the wheels/tires before selling them off for 5 lug parts. I think I will go ahead as planned and if needed try to tune the understeer out with my suspension. With adjust ability I have I should be able to make it work.

Thanks for your input and I love the new wheels your going with.

Thanks and good luck. Hit me with a PM if you have a question about the DSII or setup. I would have run my DSII's forever if I had not stumbled upon these.

You are lucky they're not stamped. Otherwise you might have been up on blocks in the morning.
