Has anyone ever fit a 28x10x17 on an E82 135i?

Just as the title states, I'm wondering if anyone has been able to cram a 28x10x17 Hoosier slick in the rear of a 1 series. If so, what where the wheel specs? Any modification required?

I want to run this tire, as many 3 series guys do, but fear it won't fit in the back of the E82 chassis.

-----------------

According to my calculations, here is what I found out.

The equivalent of a 28x10x17 is a 255/55/17: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hoo-18157

I am currently running a 275/40/17 MT ET Street radial on a 17x8.5" ET50 wheel. It fit, but required a fender roll. I am lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs (~1.5" drop). I also have a 17x9.5" ET54 wheel I could try. I could also try swapping in the stock rear springs to raise it up.

275/40/17 --> 255/55/17 aka 28x10x17: https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.ph...8-5&offset2=50





Hypothetically, I don't know if I'd be able to fit a 255/55/17 tire. Much taller, but seemingly a bit more narrow?

TBH, look into better suspension first. Tire isn't your problem, weight transfer and dampening is.

I could have sworn I've seen e82s run big slicks but can't seem to find evidence to support that.

This was the only thing I could find and it didn't have that meaty sidewall -- 275/40 which is what you've already done.

Having seen what 26" does to the rake of e92s, you're definitely going to need to raise the rear regardless.

I believe the softness and height of the oe springs will be beneficial for the actual squat.

Good point, I'm fairly budget oriented since it's not a dedicated drag car. But I'm going to swap in a set of stock rear suspension instead of the stiff lowering springs.

Bingo. I think a 28" tire is almost too much for these cars. I did pick up a set of stock rear suspension to help!

FWIW, I've cut same 60's on stock M Sport and Eiback Pro/Koni FSD. Same tire.
Added MFactory Diff, same 60's, but more consistent.

Pulling the front sway did seem to be my best times though. Let the front lift and rear dig more.
The rear bar does virtually nothing. Don't worry about it.

I'm hoping once my solid subframe bushings and dif bushing are in I'll do a smidge better. With a stickier tire too RS-RR's (I'm limited to 200TW and higher).

Really? I thought the stock springs would for sure help.

Good idea on the front sway bar, I'll have to try that at some point.

I want to do an E9X M3 rear subframe/diff swap in the future. I'll do solid/upgraded bushings all around at that point.

It seems it's more to do with front lift than rear squat.

The MFactory diff was just easy. Didn't need to dick with finding a CV that fit or playing with swapping the rear half of the drive shaft. Plus I don't have to play with preload and engagement.
Plus if you break a M3 axle you're looking at $700 for a new one; vs $170 for a 135 axle (off brand).

No doubt the MFactory pumpkin would be easier to install. But I've already snapped two axles, so I'd also have to upgrade the axles as well. The price of the MFactory LSD + upgraded axles is more expensive than the whole M3 rear end swap.

M3 axles are much beefier and I don't think they're easy to break. Plus the input shaft on the M3 diff is much stronger.
