And you like the decision on the 4x235/40? I'm trying to decide what to do.

Thanks John. Just a little bit of rubber here and there... 235/40 are $10-15 cheaper than 245/35 it appears.

Well it started with countless searches on rim sizes, offsets, spacers etc. Looking at what seemed like thousands of photos of rim/tire setups and ride height. I already had a brand new front set of Yokohama 235/40/18's and then I seen Jon/Joop's sig photo of his car running all 235/40/18's with rim offset of +35 and I made my decision. I really wanted the option of being able to rotate my tires. Once I get the rear fenders rolled I will be installing the 10mm spacers I got from John. That should get the rear wheels out just slightly further than the fronts. As it sits now the fronts stick out approx 5mm more than the rears do. So it should look perfect.

And the 235's are cheaper as stated.

Minor as it is but I installed a On/Off switch for my Angel Eyes. Connected it to trigger #1 that is for the accessories key position 2. The other interior trigger still works even if the switch is Off.

I'd be interested in seeing how you hooked up the trigger to do this with my car. I was thinking about removing my angel eyes, but if installing a trigger is simple enough I think that'd be easier and allow me to have them when wanted.

My Angel Eye relay has 2 trigger wires, White and Yellow. White goes to the accessory wire in the ECU box, Yellow goes to the interior lights. I removed the White wire from the ECU and pulled it back thru the braided harness to the relay. Then I ran a new White wire from the accessory tap to the On/Off switch, then back from the switch to that White wire I just pulled back to the relay. The White wire that was connected to the ECU accessory tap kept the lights On anytime the key was in position 2 or the car was running.

Here is a link to the switch I purchased.

Been awhile since I posted anything in here. The only mod will be a "For Sale" sign. Yep my beloved ZHP is up for sale. I was planning on keeping it a looooong time but daddy just found his dream car so she's got to go.

BTW my new car is a 2005 BMW M3!!
