Pics of car with new wheels

bmw330dconv · 08-07-2009, 07:18 AM

I thought I would post some pics with the new wheels, car is very dirty and so are the wheels so I dont think these pics do it justice.

Beyern deep dish alloys with Falken 452's NON RFTS 235/35/19 at front and 265/30/19 on rears.

I am thinking the rears need to be pushed out with spacers? what do you guys think?

_Si_ · 08-07-2009, 07:24 AM

VERY nice!

You call that dirty

willhollin · 08-07-2009, 07:28 AM

Looks good, nice and mean, black grilles will finish it off nicely.

How's the ride on them?

SpmnE9zero · 08-07-2009, 07:29 AM

Yah I would put 20mm spacers on her, and giver a wash!
Looks nice tho!

The ride is amazing, IMO cannot believe how bad RFT are, especially over humps and cracks on the road.
Cornering is smoother also but still precise

20mm spacers will prob catch on the arch no? I dont want to do any arch work so i was thinkin 10mm but does it effect the ride handling? really dont want to change anything further but the rears are not appealing to me as much as they can

willhollin · 08-07-2009, 07:38 AM

If you alter the track width then of course it will effect handling, but I doubt you would notice much difference to be honest. Will you be tracking the car?

What pressures are you running?

the car was lazer aligned straight after the wheels were fitted, the rear cambers were out fronts were also dodgy but after tracking all are now straight and correct.

TBH i dont know what pressure i am running, I should have checked when they went round and put air in the tyres...what pressures should i be running Willhollin?

Those offsets look different compared to OEM so by fitting spacers it might be simply putting the wheels back into the correct position and not affect handling too much at all.

I do agree though, they defo need spacers!

SiKkBaSs · 08-07-2009, 08:34 AM

That look is awesome. Going for something similar with mine. Car looks mean with the black rims. Black that grille out too.

From my calcs if your new Et's are 30 then the front should be extending out by 10mm from standard and the rear 20mm out from standard, yet the pics dont look like that and looks like they can come out further.

I really cant remember greatbm i have the box the wheels came in at home so i will check when i get in today after work, i am curious now too

i think if the rears were to come out another 20ml i reckon they will definitely scrub

mgarvey · 08-07-2009, 04:43 PM

Mean looking wheels on that thing!

COLSEN · 08-08-2009, 12:23 PM

one word, SWEET

sorry, awful, chav, IMHO. You did ask.

A tad harsh, but not everyone has the same taste thankfully.

It's a shame you did'nt go 275/30 on the rear, would have saved the spacers.

Avoid going 20mm,the chances are high they will rub, certainly with 2 in the back.

Try 38 front, 40 rear, (pressures) works for me on 452's

zltm089 · 08-08-2009, 05:23 PM

nice wheels!...would look perfect with black grills!

Yes I read the post and also saw the clue, I was merely pointing out that I thought your thought was a tad harsh, IMO obviously.

Happy?
