nope...just got them on today and no rain yet!

Very Nice!

what are the specs on the rear rims? it looks like you might even be able to go wider on the rear tires.

randomquickness · 06-13-2009, 09:46 AM

they are 19x10 with a custom offset known only to DPE. I believe if I ran -3 or -4 camber back there I could run a 275

3 mins and a tape measure could solve that mystery.

3-4 degrees of rear camber with 275 tires would almost certainly provide less traction than 255 with 1.5 degrees.

I don't know where to measure...and I don't plan on running that much camber with a 275. I like the way it is now.

Excitmnt94 · 06-13-2009, 11:31 AM

yeah...suggested a customer purchase those on their '06 330i 225*45*17 and they LOVE the tires too. quiet w/ great road manners. in addition, very good dry and wet grip. and...the look of the tires...HOT!

Keep in mind that a 4' camber will reduce tire life by about 50%.

randomquickness · 06-13-2009, 07:22 PM

just to clear things up...I have NO intentions of running that much camber or a 275...I was merely stating that it isn't impossible to stuff one in there if you wanted to. On the other hand, If I rolled my fenders I could probably run a 275 without changing my camber now. I am very happy with how it handles right now so I have no intentions of changing it.

fourtailpipes · 06-14-2009, 09:30 AM

that's a good looking setup! if you wanted to figure out the offset, measure the actual width of the wheel from outside to inside lip. it's probably around 11" wide. then place a straight edge across the inside lip of the wheel, and measure from the mounting face of the wheel back to the straight edge. that's your backspacing. your offset is the amount by which the backspacing exceeds half of the width. offset = backspacing - (width / 2), then just convert from inches to mm.

please measure and post if you get a chance next time you take a rear wheel off... DPE makes great wheels, but they're super-lame for trying to hide their fitments. freedom of information!

randomquickness · 06-14-2009, 10:07 AM

I'll give it a shot next time the wheel is off! thanks for that info, I figured it wasn't too difficult but never bothered to figure it out.

fourtailpipes · 06-14-2009, 10:21 AM

i just whipped up a quick DIY offset calculator here.

+1, I have some Invo's on my wrx, love the grip! I'm going to get some for my 135i once I'm done with ED.
