I agree. I have been trying for about a year to find e30 enthusiasts in the area and every time I post about it all I get is some comment about the office or Dunder Mifflin.



fronts: 225/45R-16 Dunlop Direzza ZII Star Spec
rears: 245/45R-16 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 SL
200 treadwear. Tire selection is limited for 16s hence two manufacturers.

Ah oh, that is the exact wheel/tire I was going to run on my late model is...if ppl use that set up for their m3's I may have difficulty, lol

Are you in PA or NY? MPact is going down this weekend at Pocono Raceway, probably a good time to meet other enthusiasts in PA and the tristate area.
(I see NY plates so that's why I asked)

Jimmy what tires are you using?
This car has same set up as you, I have the same set up as well just with 225-45's on 9's they look stretched and hate that look

Yeeeeeaaaahhhh,,, me too,,, LOL.
I tried the 225's on the 9" rears of the red car as well and hated it.
I went to 245s on the rear.

Yes, they are a bit too tall, but they look MUCH better and since the car is 100% street only I live with the stagger and the slight MPH offset on the speedo.
As soon as I bolted them on and let the car down on the ground it looked so much better. I hate the stretch as well.

You must spend your weekends cleaning your wheels. I hate cleaning BBS wheels

I hate cleaning them too,,, but they are just THE right wheels for an E30 and have been since the 80s
