9.5J in the front

[northernjim]

Yes, but you manage to stretch more of that tyre onto the road/contact patch surely?

My wider 18's are still lighter than the OEM 19's anyhow so i'm not overly concerned :smokin:

I wouldn't have thought so Rob, wouldn't it just alter how the sidewall reacts to the tarmac, a stiffer ride, more direct steering feel and a faster breakaway....

(my other job is writing the fiction that appears on wine bottles)

You need to get some pics up of your new wheels on the car Rob, we're not really bothered about your contact patch

Given the regs say you have to run narrow tyres on the front in CSL Cup I'm not sure what relevance there is?

What tyres does the intersport car run?

http://www.racecarsdirect.com/listing/34191/BMW_M3_CSL.html

10" wide all round with 250 wide slicks.

Fastest narrow body e46 M3 in the UK? Got to be up there hasn't it.

the wider fronts negate the natural understeer of the standard wheels correct?



That lovely racecar is built for the track, the csl is built for road first then track - different objectives imo

Front: 18 x 9.5J (ET+41)

Rear: 18 x 10.5J (ET+28 )

Wheel face machined to suit E46 M3 offset.

I bought a set of BBS LM's a few months ago 18x9.5J & 18X8.5J

They are much lighter than the OEM

They are similar in style - E88s are 3-piece race spec wheels not designed for regular road use.

LM are 2-piece wheels suitable for road use iirc.
