Re: what size tyres on bbs rm

195 isnt going to be a massive stretch tbh, any decent tyre fitters will be able to do it, no need for a cheetah (air gun) just make sure they are confident about doing it without damaging the rims, some of the tyre fitters i've seen are fooking animals :cry:

Re: what size tyres on bbs rm

Re: what size tyres on bbs rm

yep measure from the beads buddy rather than the outer to outer, 195 or 185 and 205 and you should be laughing, you're going to be needing that stretch anyway to clear the arch :D

Re: treated my msport with new bbs RM wheels (happy and im s

negative camber ftw, and yes i forgot the bm is a different setup :o: lol i cant see much negative camber on that at the moment either, i think it's do able, its not going to increase tyre wear drastically, i ran alot of negative camber on my m3 and that was fine! http://static.flickr.com/29/9454947...

Re: treated my msport with new bbs RM wheels (happy and im s

you could run some negative camber with a set of shims i guess if you wanted to keep that size dish, alot of the vw lads do it to mk2 golfs and jettas. shame really as those are very nice, as i say though, i think 8 front and 8.5 rear would be a little more sensible, you'll still retain alot of the ...
