Thank you | | | 11-18-2015, 09:05 PM | #452 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2014 Location: California Posts: 215 | 30yrMBR. Why do u have a fatter tire in the front? U have a 45 front and a 40 rear? Must be like opposite rake or something... | | | 11-18-2015, 09:42 PM | #453 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 | Quote: Originally Posted by Estii 30yrMBR.

I would assume that the difference in profile height (40 rear vs. 45 front) provides for a similar overall wheel diameter when the difference in tire width is taken into consideration. __________________ 1995 318ti Base - Cosmosschwarz/Sandgrau R.I.P. 1997 318ti Active - Alpinweiß III/Sandgrau 2013 328i Coupe - Le Mans Blau | | | 11-19-2015, 01:29 AM | #454 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2014 Location: California Posts: 215 | hmm.....

The second is an aspect ratio of the width. A 225 is not going to be wider than a 245. It could be taller or shorter but not wider. Quote: Originally Posted by Estii hmm.....

Which is why my wheels being 225 rear and 205 front have a noticeable difference in appearance. And I mean bulging beyond the face of the wheel in the back, and a bit stretch in the front. | | | 02-02-2016, 04:59 PM | #457 | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Turkey Posts: 2 | Quote: Originally Posted by Platanos | MORE please!!

"The Green machine" The stock color of the car is a BMW Ascot green. The rims are slightly brighter making them less monotonous and more subtle. Last edited by ORGASMSrfun; 10-18-2016 at 10:23 AM.

Leaving it late for the powdercoaters but cant decide on dark or light. Also do people tend to go down the bbs centre caps or bm oems.
