  • Help with figuring out a good tire size.

    So, I'm hopefully picking up a set of BBS Mahles for my e28 this weekend and the time will soon be upon me to figure out what tire size to run.

    I'll just come straight out and say I don't know jack shit about tire sizing. The rims are 14x7, and I'm looking to run a low profileish (not too skinny) with possibly a mild amount of stretch. The brand or type of tread or anything doesnt bother me, just want to know sizes. What tire size will be best? And this is a long shot but if anyone has any tire shops that they recommend around Atlanta, Georgia for this, let me know.

    Thanks!

        Cool, just so you know, it took less time to find that picture than it did to read your post, less time than you took to write the post for sure and less time than you spent waiting for an answer...

          Yeah I figured it would be easy to find the photo, I just had no idea on sizes. I suck with tires. Haha and looks like I'll be going with falken ziex ze-912 because I can't find the toyos anywhere.
