Boost Junky 1 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has fitted 10s on the rear of an E30 or got any pics of it done? I have one tyre shop saying do it, the other saying they will stick way too far out and look stupid... Im planning on running 17x10 35 offset with a 20mm thick spacer probably with 225 wide tyres for a stretched look. I am aware I will need extensive guard modifications to get this to work but im ok with that. Will be running 9" on the front. Feel free to post pics and tell me your views. Much appreciated Luke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

togate 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) yup those are 4x100/4x114. I think there is a bit of misconception with the poke issue. My mates have had there road cars certed with the wheels poking out but the tread of the tire is within the guard, but some other places disagree with this. does anyone know more about this? I was also pulled aside at a road block which also had LTSA people there, and they have said my car was fine as long as the tread is not outside of the guard.

pjay 8 Report post Posted April 8, 2009 They're both right. Top of rim has to be flush with the guard. Chuck some -4 degree camber on there though and shes gravy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
