ie turbo or something. The m20 was just not enough for the 17s

yes
and a big difference when I swapped the 14in steelies 185s for 17in 235/45

It's shocking really... You get used to it, but when I'd switch back to the b-caps it blew my mind lol. Now I don't mind DD'ing the caps and swapping my 15s for track or autocross. But, down the road when there's more power and better brakes, would probably warrant 17s

235/45? that fits under E30 fenders? That's a really tall tire.

what vid? the one in Chris's link? wobble looked to be nonexistent fan clutch.

Yeah the AA vid... Wobbles scare me on engines. That shit shouldn't wobble

it fits under the ix fender with flares, i think they are a bit wider (anther guy on here has them on his ix but he has camber plates I think). I get some rubbing on the frame rails at full lock though. Once these tires wear out (probably about a year left on them max) I will be looking for tires. I am thinking somewhere along the lines of 205-225/40/17, that should lower me about an inch and make the wheels look bigger
