What tire size can i put on e36 with 18x8 front 18x9 rear

[europarttrader]

i am getting Oz Superleggera 18x8 18x9 Rims for my project race car what type of tires sizes you think i should put ?

[toopercentmlk]

225/40f 245/35r

[europarttrader]

too small

[Soup Nazi]

255/35 or 45/18
Fenders rolled.

[europarttrader]

yeah i was thinking 255/35/18 front 275/30/18 rear , it will be real race car and will never see streets. e36 1992 4dr i have $30k budget

[Daved]

What are you going to do to make the 275s fit?

[europarttrader]

yeah i looked it up pretty imposible. what about 235/35/18 front 255/35/18 rear

[magnetic1]

if this is a "real race car" why in the world are you even going with a staggered setup?

Get 17x9s all around and run 255/40/17s. or get 245/40/17 Hoosiers which are really about 260 or so in width but a short sidewall.


Wait a min.. what am I saying. You have a $30k budget. Flare the fenders front/rear. Get some 17x10s and run 275s all around.

[europarttrader]

big brakes wont clear 17" and trust in real race car $30k is not enough for flaring and 17x10s

[magnetic1]

It doesnt take $30k to flare fenders and get 18x10s. DO IT!

Not sure what brake kit you plan to run, but many out there fit 17s.

ALEX call TIRERACK

and yes some 17s can fit BBK

[europarttrader]

dude suspension and engine mods cages race wear carbon parts etc add up very quick and trust me $30k is low budget for race car.

[B.Watts]

What kind of "racecar" are you building? Class? Motor? Etc?

[europarttrader]

just for track like infineon or laguna seca. class not sure yet , motor built 3.2 m3 with around 300whp. really not profesional just for fun at the track

thats the plan so far we are starting on body next week then suspension then engine etc.

but i am hella not sure about the tires/wheels/suspension !

if you count those parts up its around $20k and its not complete rebulding engine etc or including labor for some parts i wont be able to do. so $30k is really not a lot to work with

[B.Watts]

What kind of cage are you getting for $630?...try $6300.

Why don't you just buy one of the many BMW race cars for sell at www.bmwccaclubracing.com? It'll cost a LOT less in the long run and you'll have a car that's actually setup for a class, so it'll have some resale value.

[europarttrader]

we just started the reserch of parts like a week ago. thanks for the tip

[europarttrader]

any suggestions on class or type of events ? bmwracerits

Yeah...you can buy my 330ti with 4 corner coilovers and 300hp for half your budget... I don't have 18" wheels and 14" brakes though...just dual master cylinders and 325 brakes....which work pretty well on a 2450lb car....although it would stop like mad if it had some 355 brakes on there.

[europarttrader]

your car is turbo. mine will be all motor 300whp race car. sell your 325i for $10k to some one else, e36 dosent weight 2400lbs

My race car (330ti) is naturally aspirated....and it does weight 2450lb with full cage.

It really sounds like you know what your talking about. :rolleyes Good luck building a 300whp NA motor....and with that $630 cage.
