I like the caps.. what plans do you have for rubber size and make? | | | | | 04-02-2011, 01:46 AM | #1055 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Richmond, Virginia Posts: 37 |
Thanks man, I really like them too. They are 16x8, et 23. They are style 5's from an e38. Thinking either 205/45 16 or 205/50 16, but probably the 205/45. | | | | | 04-02-2011, 02:25 AM | #1056 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |

50 series are too tall man. I think the 205 45's would be much better.
but everyones open to their own opinion. I think your going to be more than happy no matter what you do because your new wheels are wicked.
have fun man. | | | | | 04-02-2011, 04:00 AM | #1058 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |
on a 16" I wouldn't run a 45 series, it would just be too small for the car, go with the 50 series | | | | | 04-02-2011, 05:40 AM | #1059 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Oakland Posts: 187 |
I run 225/50r16s on my stock sport ti rims they don't have much more sidewalk than the 225/45r17s on my ltw rims... __________________

A couple days late, but on Friday I replaced a couple of the bushings in the shifter linkage and put a new selector input shaft seal in the transmission. I also refilled with Red Line MTL and put Red Line 75w90 in the diff. I hate the smell of that stuff. It's bad when it's new, but when it's used it smells like Satan's ass crack. | | | | | 04-03-2011, 09:54 PM | #1063 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: aNYthing Posts: 160 |

If they are... how do you like them? | They are Kumho ASXs. For a all season tire they work great. I wouldn't go canyon carving or autocross on them but for everyday rain or shine driving they get the job done. | | | | | 04-04-2011, 12:29 AM | #1065 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Oakland Posts: 187 |
Got all four LTW rims mounted on red 318ti, its currently getting an alignment (hopefully nothing in the rear is bent, or in the front that I didn't replace). WolferJ I'll be at that target again this Wednesday, prolly bring the red car if the alignment goes well, so you can check it out if you have time. I should come over some time so you can tech me how to love my leather, not a big fan of that years of 5 series, but you're doin a nice job with yours so far! Should be a great cruiser / long trip car! My red car needs some wireing to get its heated seats working, and my cruise control isn't working yet, AND the A/C button doesn't seem to fire the compressor... but the A/C works if I jump the clutch with 12 volts. so still some to do, but its drivable, if a bit scary / bottomy outty.... I also threw the roof rack on the red car for safe keeping  __________________
