Gotcha. Would you mind either posting up or PMing me what recommendations you sent their way? :smile:

would that 255 front wheel plug and play fit in the rear? i would ideally want to run the same wheel all around, to improve handling and reduce understeer.

Hmmm, would the existing EmPower wheels be 100% ok for a 255/265 setup?
The existing wheels will let you run 255s up front with no rubbing and no modifications!?

I'm hoping to run Continental ContiSportContact 2s - can any of you tire gurus make an educated guess as to whether these would fit without rubbing (and without the need to roll the fenders)...?

You have the 18x8.5 +41 now? Those are the ones berk said would work with no changes.

We are running a 255/35/18 Toyo R1R's in the front, no rubbing with the camber plates.
Without the camber plates it WILL rub on the fenders. The camber plates tilts the tops of the wheels in, giving you more fender clearance. We're waiting on the rear 18x9.5 +60 EmPower wheel, which would give us an ideal 255 front, 265 rear setup. |

Ok, thanks. In that case, I'll wait till I settle on a coilover setup before doing wheels, but given you're still waiting for final word, that works out ok!

That's what the M3 runs - so perhaps with the assorted M3 suspension parts (upper&lower control arms, sways etc.) it would work well...

Denial - Without camber plates a 245 would be a tight fit but I think you'll be able to squeeze it.
M3R1 - In my sig they are the D-Force wheels. I added a few more pics on the first post. |

You can get an idea of potential weights by looking at the other fitments here.

Yeah, this is killing me... I'm planning on waiting 'til spring for these, but it'd be nice to get some specs.
Can you guys leak any info, yet?
