9.5J in the front

[alexk]

The other option is rear CH-R 9.5J ET32 and I will have to put a 12mm spacer.

The offsets of BBS are a bit different than the OEM CSL wheels.
The front BBS CH that I have go out about 10mm compared with the standard CSL wheels....

A picture of these beautiful wheels...

guys, i should have Tracktoys at Snetterton on the 6th March so all you guys that are interested we can get Matt to do some Pyro testing on your differenyt rims and tyres to see what pressures and cambers you should be running:thumbs:

I use a laser temp meter that I have (I mainly use it for my RC engines to check temp and adjust the mixture) to measure the tyre temp.

Yep, I'll make sure he gives you best advice!

I had hoped to have gotten a set of team dynamics 9x18 all round but it seems td have given up casting wheels, so I'm told.

I wouldn't do 9.5 front what's the point, you can't fit a bigger tyre so you're just adding weight to the wheels.

Not alot probably

I mean why would BMW waste that weight with 265 Tyres and 9.5j rims on the rear when someone from CSL cup knows better.

I mean why would BMW reduce the weight with 235 Tyres and 8.5j rims on the front when someone from CSL Register knows better lol :blalalala:

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:

What are your wheel sizes and offsets ?

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.

[glendog74]

What are your wheel sizes and offsets ?

T$

Front: 18 x 9.5J (ET+41)

Rear: 18 x 10.5J (ET+28 )

Wheel face machined to suit E46 M3 offset.
