E36 m3 evo wheels

Post Sat Jul 10, 2010 9:39 pm

What tyre size was on the m3 evo ?

Are all m3 evo wheels diamond cut ?

Do all m3 evo wheels have motorsport engraved on the front ?

225 45 front, 245 40 rear.

Not sure on the other details, I've got a feeling that both polished and normal silver finishes were avaliable.

I've got a post facelift Evo and the wheels don't have the Motorsport script

seen these on an E30 touring and not sure what to make of them.
I'm a bit of a purist (read an*l ) so for me its bbs on a touring.
No doubt these have advantages, are they light, strong, pull air through to the discs?

Tyre size is 225/45R17 front and 245/40R17 rear

Not all are diamond cut and not all of them have motorsport on them.

The forged alloy ones should have a polished rim and motorsport cast into them.

The wont fit an E30 as they are 5 stud.

You can get reps that are 4 stud but they are shit.

Convert to manual, E36 SMG system is very troublesome and not very nice in operation.

What rims would you recommend?
I have bbs 15's on my 318 touring and love the look........
But will be engine modding the 325 touring and looking for 270ish bhp in a year or so.
so bigger discs, calipers will be needed before I start tinkering with the lump. Can all this go under 16 inch rims to stop an old lump.

Wheels, or at least the style of them is a personal thing but as for function, 16's give the best ride/handeling compromise on an E30.

As for big brakes, i had an E30 with an E36 M3 3.0 engine fitted which was just short of 300bhp. I had 310mm floating discs with wilwood 4 pot calipers behind 16" hartge wheels and this set up worked well for me on road and track.

Cheers fella
thats most of the mods sorted. Anyone here make harnesses for animals as I don't think ma jack russell will be able to stay upright.

Will the Willwood calipers mean I can junk the ABS ?

If it does all connect I'll keep it but I suppose loosing 20 odd Kgs? would mean an end to no more MackyDees

Any caliper on an E30 will work with or without ABS.
