Wow, that should be a fun and fast set up. Tell us how it preforms.

Nice. This tempts me but I really would prefer to run 245 or 255 square on 17's since the RS3's are dirt cheap on 17" rims.

First Auto-X win on this new setup is in the bag!
Beat a fellow 135i running 235/40-17 Nitto NT01's by nearly 1 second. This setup handles well and feels very balanced. |

Rolled the lips in on the front and gave it a slight pull. The new shape is visible from the outside, but only if you know where to look .
The rears have a squared-off lip, so rolling it flat wasn't an option. Just rolled it around the plastic inner liner and gave it a slight pull. Can't tell from the outside on this one. Quote:
See above. |

For the front, did you cut that part of metal where the fender and front bumper connect? For the rear, did you consider cutting any part of the square lip off, and then rolling it? I haven't taken the fender liner out yet to see, but I think two pieces of metal join there, and expect seam sealer as well. |

FYI. These setups work with 255's in front UNTIL you put on M3 suspension bits. If you do that, 255's no longer tuck up into the fender and are significantly too wide for even a roll / pull.
If you have stock geometry, you're good to go with 255's. I won my first autox with 255's up front as well. |

Do you have a stock suspension? And I'm assuming 245/35/17.

there's room for more camber, and with my rolled and pulled fenders, i suspect i could fit a 265 with more camber, though to justify that, it would have to be a slick (or at least something stickier than cheater streeters) that can be appropriately loaded at such high amounts of negative camber. |
