Could someone suggest a cheap way to use up a stockpile of 245-45/17 rims with a '90 325i? I was hoping there would be some OEM rim out there that could get the job done without having to buy new aftermarket rims. Looking for a chumpcar class rim, which means cheap to buy, cheap to replace.
Are the tires worth a crap? Because IDK of any 4 lug 17" bmw wheel wide enough. If you had 5x120 pattern, there would be E36 M3loads of wheels for cheap to use.
^The APEX racing 17x8 if they are still making them.
But that diameter means lots of ride height AND murdering the fenders. 245/40/17 is a TIGHT fit with rolled fenders and lots of spring rate.
In reply to z31maniac:
Don't mind rolling, cutting, doing what it takes because race car.
That tire size is way too damn tall for the car. I have bigger cars than e30s that i still wont put a tire that tall on.
and
with some
to cover the sharp edges... it's available in different colors if appearance matters..
see the e30 in my avatar. every tire fits. you need to change the gearing though - 245/45 is way tall and if you are using a getrag 260 you want to be around a 433 to get past the overdrive. unless auto x. but you said race car ;-)
