New to "stance" how am I doing?

[scaredofstance]

You know youre wondering the same thing. :p

[robb1887]

cause I totally need some 19's... -_-

[scaredofstance]

asked about width and cheap tires. not 19s :p

Find 225/40/17s for all around or do narrow 235/40s front and 245/35 out back like falken or fuzion and raise the rear to match the front.

[robb1887]

^want more height (I know I'm crazy) in the front to get the lip up some...

Raising the rear would add a bunch more rake... and it seems I already got plenty now.

Anyone got shots of a 205/45 Falken 452 on a 8.5, and 215/40 452 on a 10? or shots of the 235/40 on 8.5 and 245/35 on 10?

trying to figure out how much they stretch cause the rears are proper as is... but are Dunlop DZ101's right now (215/40)

Found this:
215/40/18 on 8.5
245/35/18 on 10


not my picture... sorry for stealing it


I think this is a good amount of stretch for me, but would the 17 vs 18 wheel make a huge difference?

[aledelic42]

the 205/45s look so much better to me than the usual 205/40s

I love the non M stuff, i was looking for an alternative to the typical M bumpers on my daily but came up dry. Keep it up man it looks great.

Go for a 215/40 up front and a 235/40 if you want some tire on there.

^^ I like 235/40's vs 245/35.... 60 bucks cheaper a tire...

A 235/40 would raise the car compared to a 215/45.. although not much. 215/45 would raise the car about 4-5mm. 225/45 would raise about 9-10mm. Than you wouldn't have to actually raise the car. It'll naturally make the car higher and eliminate some gap. And a 235/40 out back would be legit. I like the way 235/40s look on 17x10j. I had that on my old set up

[blayFreezelr]

I want a little more stretch in the front too

I'm afraid from pictures I've been able to locate that 225/45 wouldnt stretch much....

me too

[JaBaWaba]

I would get the same size tire or smaller and come down a bit in the front. Looks great though

It won't but what you want doesnt make much sense. You already have wheel gap, you want to raise the front, and you want more stretch. Does not compute.

Fill the gap with meat if you want to go lower. Don't stretch to stretch. Stretch to fit.

www.willtheyfit.com is a good visual resource for this kind of thing. also will show how much ride height you'll lose/gain with each tire.

that e36 is looking good, Nice work.
