Tire size questions

[PropellerHead]

Gary:

I have recently bought some used BBS RKII's for my E39 540.

Qty 3 front 18x8.5
Qty 2 rear 18x10

I have just rolled my fenders in preparation, and I have installed M5 fender liners on the rear. The car is lowered with H&R / Bilsteins.

1) I'd like the WIDEST tires (all around) I can without the dreaded rub. The site rec's 275 rears- can I go 285 ya think?
2) I note that there are hub centering rings on them, but want to make sure they are true by buying new ones. Is this something I can buy from you?
3)The previous owner stuck BMW roundels over the BBS hubs. Can I get BBS ones?
4) I have been referred to the Bridgstone S03's as a good choice. I'd like to bother you for pricing on 5 of them matched with the above considerations. I can call or you can email/PM.

1. We've had bad results trying to fit 285's in the past, even with fender rolling.

2. I'd be happy to get you new centering rings, but before you potentially waste enough money to treat yourself to a nice lunch, I suggest trying the old ones first, as rings very rarely go out of round. If you'd still like them, I understand completely. Simply have the part #'s off of the back of the wheel handy when you call.

3. Sure, no probem, just make sure you've got those part #'s when you call in :D

4. Great tire choice, give me a ring for pricing! I'm not a big fan of PM's. Email is okay (include zip code as well for shipping estimates and don't forget the part #'s!) , or just call me, I'm here 10 hrs a day 8-6 eastern time:thumbup:

Gary, would you help recommends and/or steer me in the right direction about some tires/wheels for a 2006 BMW 325xi w/current I'm running for winter a set 205/55 R16 91 (I believe they are 16x8.5) M&S Run Flats. I'm a newbe here so I'm pretty green about the boundarys related to performance and looks. I live in Northern Vermont and would like to have a set of tires/wheels to run in our short season (spring, summer, fall). My car is Jet Black and I would like to stick w/ the Black/Carbon theme, so all black rim's (no polished lip/if possible) my first thoughts were 19's and a low profile tires. I have hear 255/35 R19's all around and then also 235/35 19 and on the back 265/30 19, am I going down the right road? Please Help...

For 19" the tire size that we'd use is 235/35R19. Keep in mind that 19" wheels may require some fender lip rolling to fit. For something a bit less agressive stick with 18" with 225/40R18. You can view a complete list of what we have to offer here :
