    I need the biggest possible tire without going to flares etc.
    I have no personal experience but theres a few places that might help answer your questions...

    There's still room inboard for more tire lol.

    That's exactly it. Z4 actually uses the same wheel bearing oddly enough

    Yes and no. You need to do something custom to use the stock ebrake - one guy took the stock e30 dust shields and cut / welded e36 m3 dust shield outer portions on them to get the ebrake shoes on

        Yeah I know however is it 530+ pages and when you search a tire size "255/40" etc is give you an entire thread not individual posts. I also posted in there several times, thought id post in the so cal section since we have so many memebers.

            Can anyone recommend a cheap leather dye to fill in cracks in seats? Want to bring my seats back to new life again. I've got good conditioner and cleaner but would really like to make the cracks disappear.

                I think he wants to "hide" the cracks by blending them in to be the same color as the leather.

                  Well I would fill the cracks with crack filler. But I just wanted to know if anyone had any good recommendations on dye. I think I've made my decision though and will be going with a whole kit from Leatherique. It'll make my life easier buying everything from them than trying to piece the kit together.

                    I've tried the leather repair kits before eh. Wasn't too successful with it, but I was probably doing it wrong. It's fills the cracks but it's hard to hide the repair after you dye it. Leaves like a scar where the repair was.

                    Spotted a z8 leaving Angeles crest this morning.

                      From the few reviews I've seen, you can't even tell they've been repaired. It's all about the prep time and patience. I'd be doing the whole seat too, not just spot repairs.

                              Finding 16in tires suck. Is 205/40 on a 16x9 too stance nation? Been looking at pics online but can't decide.

                                Does anyone have a hook on a VIN check?
