Trust me, i can appreciate the big tire thing...I've got a set of 315s in the garage! Do not underestimate the world of difference between those small diameter 275s and 285+ 18". I've used both. Having said that, 285s do work well and wear much better than the 275s.

What class do you run in?

Crap man, Can I get a link to a build thread for this beast!! I love the stance. I'm a custom fabricator and I have been researching building similar flares as yours. If you'd be willing to share some more information I'd appreciate it!

I use the car for autocross only. I'm running 275s now without any problems. I don't think that 295s will be much worse in the front. I'm prepared to make any fender modifications necessary. I may use the Eurostop fenders. I have a set, but I would probably have to enlarge them as well.

Is this thing birthing cones? It's like the queen alien from Aliens.

All joking aside, cool photo.

Haha, Alien is my favorite movie too!

Starting on my fender modifications:













The tires and rims are off of my Z06. 315/30R18



295s on 17s in the front

Honestly this thread needs this quoted one more time.

I like the vette wheels.... But from what I've been told its bolt pattern isn't exactly the same as the BMW.

I have one and a half inch adapters mounted to bmw 5 lug pattern with wobble bolts. The studs on the adapter are chevy pattern

For an autocross this weekend, a friend gave me a set of Continental take-offs. They are 265/645/18s. They seemed to fit better on 9.5 inch M-parallels:



This was the first event for this car. I decided that the brakes need bleeding and I need stiffer springs. I had to raise the car a half an inch to keep the body from rolling into the tires.
