235s and foot finesse

[triggrhaapi]

Agreed. Foot finesse will be required no matter what.

I have, however been thinking about a different kind of tuning. I want to figure out a way to do it. Better than traction control. However I don't know of an engine computer that can store 5 maps and also can switch maps based on what gear you're in.

255 might actually be too much tire, unless you tub the rear.

What kind of boost?

They should fit just fine. Eurostop's new flares give 2" of clearance over stock. Plenty of guys run 245/45 on 16x9s with the older 2002 style turbo flares with no issue. These new flares have even more room. ;)

I was planning to turbo, but I've driven 4 turbo cars now, and 2 supercharged ones, and I like the fell of the SC better. Plus the SC will be cheaper and more reliable. I'm only looking to make 300-350whp. :p

by me. ;)

Only if you could fit into my Sparcos.

if you're in the pass seat, and hes driving up a steep hill, then yes.

LOL.

I hope you understand that you're going to be in a lot of pain when you come back to SoCal. ;p

255s on 9.5Js are for vaginas. 275s or bust. :p

I don't want to run a staggered set-up as it is detrimental to handling. Also 275s cost A LOT more then 255s, and will be a lot harder to fit.

:rofl You guys are funny. An E30 doesn't weigh enough to keep 275s stuck. 245 is actually as much as I plan on getting when I'm suped or turboed.

Then I guess you don't want any traction.

Scarlet is a bit of a heffer compared to stock. Except for the AC delete, the trunk tar removal, and my Sparcos, I've only added weight to the car. I have a HUGE battery in the trunk, a sub and box that wiegh around 30-35 lbs, 2 amps that weigh around 40lbs total, and the added weight of the s52. I'd guess my e30 is around 2750-2800 with a half tank.

The 235/40s I have right now are just about perfect for my suspension set-up and power. I can spin them in first if I want to, 2nd it takes a bit more effort. When I have the blower on the car, I will be making about 100whp/70wtq more, so I will need AT LEAST a 255 out back to put the power down. ;)

235s and foot finesse

I don't want to ruin these wheels driving around with no sidewall to protect them. Plus 255s look meaty and delicious on these wheels.

i can fit in those sparco's. i bet i could get some fun out of the 255's ;)

[triggrhaapi]

I've been thinking P/D super lately, but turbo tuning leaves more options. Hard choices in the distant future.

245 is already 20mm more than I will be running on in the near future. Pedal control is a 427whp Supra TT.

Well the trade I wanted to do fell through, and I don't have the time to do a full build on an e24 for now. So....... :(






















I'm getting Ary's new flares in the next couple of weeks, and putting these bad boys on the e30! God I'm so fickle.

I don't know what happened with my other post, but I'm happy you are keeping the E30 :up:

[e30polak]

Me too. I will be building an e24 eventually, but I guess it'll have to wait till my e30 is done. ;)

I wanted to see this too, but I have to focus my efforts on the M3 instead!

Wanna see this at Bimmerfest.

Hopefully the car will be sold by then so I can have my M3 running for Bimmerfest! :pimp:

Teaser: 245/40s with a 5mm spacer up front (too small, needs 8-9mm to clear the strut)



These would've been sick on my car, but they will be on a certain someone's flared, turbo m20 car in the near future! ;)

[markseven]

M3???

[e30polak]

M3???
