Questions about fender rolling, downsizing tires, wheel spacers or even what separates a racing wheel from a street wheel? Lucky for you, we have answers.

Glad this was posted as I'm looking to get wheels for my GTI and don't need them flying off on the commute.

Thanks and hopefully it helps. 

And thank you, BimmerWorld, for teaching us about the paper test.

My wife's car is resting on 19 inch wheels (the + option for her car) instead of the standard 18 inch wheels I wish were on her car.  The tires are so low profile that you can feel every crack in the street not to mention the pounding from potholes and such.  I keep looking for used 18 inch wheels and hoping I'll find a set at a decent price for when the time comes to buy new tires.  I missed that option (sadly) this last go around and shelled out a few coins for those 19 inch low profile (why?!?) tires.  Needless and senseless. Style isn't everything, although if you ask a woman about why they wear high heels, they would rather "look cute" than "be comfortable."  

I am happy to see the BMW in this article wearing sneakers instead of the high heels.  They look good in their own kick-your-ass kind of way that only an M3 can do.  Really.

Time to hit the garage and paper test my setup! Just because it has worked for years of autocross and track days doesn't mean i got it right. Great tip guys, keep on keeping us safe(er)!

I remember back then the fender rollers weren't around, we were using a baseball bat at the track to roll our fenders.
