What tyres are the (daddy's) for the rear staggerd alpinas.
If its possible I'd like to make them look as wide as possible.
When I bought them they had bridgestone on,but would like to know of others people recommend. :D
Thanks

Conti sport contact 225/45/16 is the recommended size that Alpina use and numerous tuners back in the 80s.

there are not many good quality tyres available in 225/45/16. Conti sport 2 i would recommend but they might be hard to find soon?
