How does going from 235/35 to 245/35 front tires go from being fine to rubbing. It's 1 damn cm. Looking at my front wheel well, I feel I could drip it 1-2 inch safely.

The second number is the aspect ratio, it isn't a constant...it's a percentage of tire width IIRC. Not only is the 245/35 wider, the sidewall is taller than the one on the 235/35. My fronts rub under hard lock...not a huge deal

speaking of which, I was going to say those tires you inquired about are going to be 2.5% taller Bri

kyleb350 · 03-03-2011, 12:53 PM

...which should be fine I s'pose

I'll double check but there are zposters running those sizes...and having camber plates up front should help. FWIW I'm on 245/45R18 square blizzaks from stock 225/45R18 255/40R18

Yup I am a wizard

I just go to that calculator that's in the Tire section of the forums. Oh, I was 5 off on the aspect ratio... maybe you're fine then.

Still some wiggle room there.

wtf, $1700 for Sat radio install?!?

better to get it when ordering a car even though you don't think you're going to use it.

Los, my mirror motor is being replaced under warranty.

Showcar do hand washes?

mithiral67 · 03-03-2011, 01:32 PM

You guys suggested these two company's for wheel repair. Anyone have thier wheels fully painted by them? Hows the quality of getting them painted? Would I be better off buying a whole new set of rims instead of getting them painted?

I ran 245/275 dropped on springs in my E90. No roll, no rubbing. Too bad E92's are a little different.

I used Tim in Lake in the Hills for powdercoating. $350 for my winter 18s. Looks outstanding. PM Johan for his info.
