Depends on what you're dropped on and what tires you're running. some tires are wider than others in the same size. From experience, T1r's are the skinniest compared to others in the same size.

I suggest to keep the size/width of the tire porpotional to the stock setup. IE if stock was 225/255 go with 235/265. It matters in terms of driving dynamics and handling.

Depending on drop and tires, 15mm spacer in the front will probably rub. 17mm spacer on the back on a 265 is doable, but you need to roll the rears and adjust the camber. Just get your rears rolled and front slight rolled. You'll be good to go.

Some of my 'extreme' setus used to be 19x9.5 et25 with a 10mm spacer on a 275/30 nitto nt05 and a 19x10.5 et30 with a 5mm spacer on the same tire. All on kw v3's and maxed rear camber.

Anything is possible, it's just how far you want to go and how often you want to change your tires. I go thru tires once a year or less.

I wanted to build my own ar-15 last year for $600, just don't have time to get another hobby. But I do need a few weapons on me, you guys know what I'm talking about if you've met me.

one of my dads friends bought an original fully auto AK47 before they became illegal in CA. He was telling me a story how he drove 4 hours to buy it and then him and my dad took it apart and made it legal(semi auto). 2 years ago he took me and my brother out to a gun range in san jose, i forget the name of the place but that thing was intimidating to say the least. So much recoil it felt like i was getting punched in the shoulder by an MMA fighter LOL. not to mention each bullet costs $4

Anyone with TPMS knowledge school me.

I confirmed with BMW before that my car/vin needs TPMS, all four wheels have TPMS since forever. Today I switched out only the front passenger wheel with no TPMS. No alarm, no warning after driving 3 miles.

I have had a "warning low tire" sign on the dash last week with TPMS installed.

So, did my car need more time to recognize that a TPMS wasn't there or does my car like to play fuck fuck with my mind and guess which wheel only needs TPMS?

Did you re-initialize the TPMS system? In idrive theres an option. Maybe someone with non-idrive can chime in.

I am unable too re-initialize since I have non-iDrive, when I did have the low air pressure, I tried resetting with the left hand signal dial...it did not let me reset to ignore warning.
