Hey, while you may be indirectly correct here, you might just be mistaken. a larger diameter tire will simply give you a longer final drive ratio. While this has absolutely nothing to do with "longitudnal grip", it may make the slightest difference in traction.
A better way to get your desired final drive ratio would be to match a proper ratio differential with proper diameter tires.
Oh, and I'm not trying to be an ass, just giving a heads up. The car looks like a blast. I hope you got a good deal on it though, it looks like you've got a lot of work ahead of you. If it were me I'd find a nice clean e30 with a blown motor or something and swap all of your goods over. Or like you say, a rolling e30m3 chassis would be even better. Have fun with the project!

shut your hole frenchie. The internet is an American invention, so you have to speak American whilst using it.Thx to show us your ignorance, let me instruct you a bit.
Quebec is a province in east-central Canada. It is the only Canadian province with a predominantly French-speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is French at the provincial level.
Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second-largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger.
Quebec is the second most populous province, after Ontario. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, the Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples.
Nationalism plays a large role in the politics of Quebec, and all three major provincial political parties have sought greater autonomy for Quebec and recognition of its unique status. Sovereigntist governments have held referendums on independence in 1980 and 1995. In 2006, the Canadian House of Commons passed a symbolic motion recognizing the "Québécois as a nation within a united Canada."
While the province's substantial natural resources have long been the mainstay of its economy, sectors of the knowledge economy such as aerospace, information and communication technologies, biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry also play leading roles. These many industries have all contributed to helping Quebec become the second most economically influential province, second only to Ontario.

Lol. Quebec GDP is 285 billion. Little Washington State is 291 billion. Per Capita are 37,000 and 39,000 respectively. Pride lose.While the province's substantial natural resources have long been the mainstay of its economy, sectors of the knowledge economy such as aerospace, information and communication technologies, biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry also play leading roles.
