  • Oh wait, only do 8.5s all round.




    That sucks. You'll barely get much stretch, which means you won't poke much... but I guess thats more of an arguement to stick with 18s or 19s and fill the arch a little with tyre for that performance stanced look.

    • they come in 8.5 widest.

      Mine atm are 8J or someshit

      if i keep my 15mm spacers on, then it should stick out 6mm more than mine now, so they'll be quite flush with the arches.. i think

          your wheels are 8j?

          what profile are you running?? pretty certain you can get stretch on 8s with 195 40 or 45s no?

            • 235/40's on it at the moment.

              40 or 45 will be too higher profile for me, as i want to go lower profile

                    40s are fine, just get some half decent stretch and voila, you have lower profile immediatly

                    • Its not the profile thats the problem Chris, its the width, you won't find 195 tyres in 19" size. The thinnest is like 215, which on a 8.5 wheel will stretch, a little.

                      Nice looking dubs, makes the BMW look a little sorry for itself in its current state, you've got big shoes to fill.

                          Just spent 3 hours, in fact more than that, cleaning and detailing the car. It was in need of it tbh.

                                Paisley Freight came highly recommended when I was looking and got my wheels to me from Scotland in 2 days during the pre Christmas blizzard!
