I want to run a drag radial in the rear but my front wheels would still be 18" so I suppose I should go with a 17" rear drag radial. __________________ 1997 332ti: 18" Gold BBS LM Repro wheels, 245/35/18 tires, H&R Sport springs, Bilstein Sport shocks, 328 front calipers w/ Brembo vented rotors, Brembo rear drilled rotors, X-brace, M3 front bumper, M3 mirrors, Euro clears all around, 6k HID, Black kidney grills, French fogs, Full Magnaflow exhaust w/ High flow cat, Auto - manual swap, B&M short shifter, 3.23 LSD, URI crank pulley, 3.2 OBDII engine swap, Kirk 4 point roll bar, Dove vaders. | | | 05-25-2008, 10:08 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Boston, MA Posts: 1,152 | Definitely a good time at the track. Now more tuning for you guys and let's go back up there soon. I didn"t race but still had a good time watching and hanging out with other BMW enthusiats. Link to videos and pics. http://s94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...5-23-08%20BMW/ It's a small world to find out jonchino (good guy) is a friend of my friend and he lives right near the BAT CAVE. This is where we hide all of our cars. I even know his aunt and cousins too. Checked out the ti shell. Give it a thumbs up for a project car. Need some work but very doable if someone don't mind spending some $$. Might even have to use it for my own project ti. Maybe Dan and jonchino can make this dream come true for me. | | | 05-26-2008, 02:42 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Monterey, CA Posts: 770 | Quote: Originally Posted by TT Racing Hey Dahamler, what size are your front wheels/tires on your drag setup?

It will be a fun summer or weekend project. | | | 05-26-2008, 03:14 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Stamford, CT <-> Boston, MA Posts: 1,393 | Quote: Originally Posted by dahamler Ken all you need to do is get the shell towed here and supply the parts.
