Show me 17s and "meaty" tires... Please?

[mbeckel]

I think everyone knows what I mean by "meaty"...

Bonus points for wheel and tire specs but don't let a lack of info stop you from sharing

Thank you!

These are the only ones that somewhat show the meat of those tires. They are HUGE.

Love it. Almost meaty enough!

I think this (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?1412-Largest-Wheel-Tire-Sizes-with-Stock-BMW-330-ZHP-Suspension&p=397545#post397545) is what you are looking for. :)

Love the meaty look, too. I want to run the 17" Kosei's so bad, but with their -possibly outdated- reputation for cracking at the spoke, I can't bring myself to run them on the street.

Looks damn good. But yeah, 01s aren't great for DD, lol

Love it. What suspension you on?

[mko9]

Stock suspension with the exception of TMS sway bars.

[JB3]

mko9, more info!

17x8.5 or 17x9? Offset?
Spacer info?
Rolled fenders?
Rubbing?

TIA,
Jay

My winter setup is 17". Style 137 wheels with Hankook 205/55/17s on all 4 wheels

Sorry, I am out of the country for a few months so I don't have ready access to the wheels to confirm things. They are 17x9 ET42 according to the invoice in my e-mail. I run a 5mm spacer up front at the recommendation of the guys at Apex Racing. I also converted to lug studs vs bolts. As said above, stock suspension, no fender rolling or flares, no rubbing issues when the car is at trackday weight.

I was wondering what these wheels looked like on an IR. And just as I thought it would, it makes me :drool :drool

I'm pretty much planning on stealing your wheels and running a more street friendly tire. Sorry! :)

Too late I already stole them.

They were street friendly. I squeezed almost 25k miles out of them. I'm on NT05's now.

Will move this to TIRES section in a day or so.
