    Tire question for those with factory staggerd wheels

    I have a set of M Contours Im going to be throwing on my car here. My question is... I know the factory tire size for the front but what is the factory tire size for the rear since there a inch bigger in back? Anyone know it. It would be really helpful.

    Thanks
    Chris

    Yup...
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

    http://www.eurospeed.org/e36m3faq.pdf is a great source for all kinds of M3 information. he updates it, so it's worth re-reading every few months.
