Nothing lightweight enough to make the jump from 18" worth it. But I was looking at the possibility of having some 5x114.3 redrilled to 5x120. It opens up the options big time

That should clear without spacers, no? I don’t totally understand why everyone is good with such low offset front wheels and the scrub radius steering feel that comes with it..

Not sure if those would fit without a spacer or not. The rears probably would. But I do know suspension clearance in the front is an issue to consider.Last edited by Bry5on; 08-13-2022, 11:05 PM.

Originally posted by 01SG View PostI think the benefits of more rubber, and square, obscure any detriment of increased scrub radius. My steering improved, but I also changed tires.
Also worth mentioning that the taller sidewall is more progressive near the limit. This comes at the cost of some responsiveness but is part of the trade.Last edited by Bry5on; 08-13-2022, 07:58 AM.‘02 332iT / 6 | ‘70 Jaguar XJ6 electric conversion

Reviving this thread...
I have a square set 17x10 ARC-8's with 275/40/17 RT660's that are due for replacement. My original thought was 275 NTO1's but I see many mentions of running 255/40/17 vs 275. Is 255 enough tire for the heavy E46 M3 on track? A 255 RE71RS is roughly the same cost as a 275 NTO1, but my fender liners would probably appreciate the 255's up front.
My car is a street car with all the accouterments, but with Ohlins R/T and a bunch of other bits and bobs to make the suspension bearable on street, and good on track.

i think you’ll be ok though. I’d be curious to hear if the RR660 is faster than an NT01. But a 275 660 is a little less than an NT01.
