    I was looking at a set of General Exclaim UHP's.

    Does anyone know the shade differences between Nogarosilber and Lachssilber? They look really close to the same.
    I don't think that, getting some 17x10 and 215/40 tires. If that Gemeraæ Exclaim is tires, i have no idea about them, never heard about it.
    The top stretch tires are normaly
    -Fuzion ZRi
    -Toyo Proxes 4 & T1r
    -Falken 452's
    Just to name a few.

    and if i where you, i would go with alpinewiess2 for the wheels.

    205 front and 215 rear? 2 questions with that. Firstly, wouldn't only a 10mm difference in tire width make them look pretty different on an 8"/9.5" wheel?

    Edit; looked at your older posts, people have told you 215/40 before, why don't you do it? and saw your car, nice work - what color are you going with on the wheels?
    And to answer your second question...*pause*...I have no idea. Because I suck at life comes to mind. And thanks for the compliment. I'm working on it. It still has quite a ways to go in my opinion. What tires would work well?

    And as a sidenote, I was considering Nogarosilber or Lachssilber. But I'm still not 100%.

    started a topic some tire size suggestions perhaps?

    some tire size suggestions perhaps?

    A couple months ago I bought new wheels for my e36. I had already mounted some tires on them but was pretty unsatisfied with the sizes I had chosen...both because of the looks as well as the rubbing in the rear. I figured I would ask you guys for some advice...

    The wheels are 17x8" ET26 front, 17x9.5" ET33 rear. The first time around I calculated that 235/40/17's would fit the rear assuming I rolled the rear fenders (which I did). I wasn't concerned with the size for the front because I knew whatever I put on that wheel would fit fine. I decided on 215/45/17. That was a stupid size to choose. I also assumed I would want spacers in the front after I got everything on there and was able to take a look at how much room I still had. I ended up going with 12mm on the front. My next shitty decision was to go with Nexen N3000 tires. I didn't realize at the time that they tend to run wide. Awesome...now my rears rub when going over a decent dip in the highway or driving over relatively unlevel pavement.

    I decided I wanted to repaint the centers a different color so after less than 1000 miles, off came the tires. Now that I have to take the wheels apart, clean them up and repaint the centers, I have time to pick out new tires. I'm just going to sell the next to new Nexens. I originally thought I would just go with 205/40 front and 225/40 rear but then found out the only 225/40's I could get were the Nitto 555's. Maybe 225/40 isn't the best option either. What would you guys recommend? I ***** both the tall sidewall on the fronts as well as the 215's and 235's (at least in Nexen) not providing any stretch.
