[project86]

Really? I just called them about 25 minutes ago and they had the 2005 and 2007 production dates.

I'll call then. I was just going off what was online.

FU.K 235/40/17 is sold out. This has been a very bad day and this just added to it.

it's ok p0cket penguins, z31maniac is a big ole meanie but we can still touch pps

I wonder how much degradation has affected performance of the 2005 manufacture date tires.

$460 shipped for some super sticky 235/40/17s is VERY tempting.

How low is your car. I bet if your car wasn't slammed and the springs are stiff enough you will fit them with your fenders rolled flat, might want to pull them a little for really hard driving or if your going to be carrying people around.

The other guy that has them looks like his car is pretty tall.

the car is a track car on h and r race springs with billy sports... no rear seats and the normal track weight reduction... i already have the fenders rolled somewhat... but ill be rolling them completely flat and probably flairing them out a bit with the roller...

the 205/45/16 would be stretched, right? making the sidewall shorter on a 16x8et23(e30m3)?

they will be slightly stretched but not enough to really make a huge difference in height. it looks good though

sorry i ment that if i can fit them in the e30

It's a tough fit because its so much taller than stock.

But if you are using that as your justification for them fitting, why even ask?

[z31maniac]

Nope, too tall.
