wrong tire sizes for e34. super stretchy rear tire (225s on 9.5!). one wheel has a nasty bend. no mention if tires have tread left = probably dont.

these are easy to pass up.

i've been watching craigslist for m parallel wheels for my e34 for a long time, better deals than this have passed.

A 225 on a 9.5" is "super stretchy"...ha

as seen on 'tyrestretch.com' below.  on a scale of 'bulgy' to 'unsafe' i'd say it ranks at 'super stretchy'

(i just put 225s on my 8j wheels and i feel like its too stretchy, as a frame of reference.)

I can tell you that you would never have any issues with that tire coming off or causing any issues due to the "stretch". I've run much more stretch and have had zero issues, even with spirited driving.

I have a buddy that's debating getting into a 135i and he stumbled across this yesterday...  I had to explain meth injection to him.

That doesn't make it right, Earl. Keep poke and stretch in the bedroom.

I'm not saying it's right but I am saying the worry of running that tire shouldn't exist lol.

hahahaha I poke and stretch a 245/40 on an 11" wheel daily with no gripes=P Drove to Jeffersonville, Indiana and back this past weekend with zero issues as well.

[wasnt m3]

Daily...it's been together this way for what, a week?

[Earl]

Two weeks=) The 195/40's on Sams 8's have also had zero issues and those have quite a bit more miles on them

Could be a cool project, don't see many club sports around

[HipMF]

I need a TI...should go look at it... probably wont...

[patsbimmer1]

I always wanted a clubsport when I was in High School.  It'd still be a fun project to drop a different engine in it.

Speaking of HPF... Stage 3 e46 M3 in Chicago.

If that car was a true manual it would be sold.

[patsbimmer1]

Agreed.  Even with the decline in e46 prices this thing looks to be in great shape with high quality performance parts installed and an engine that's probably in the 650 - 700 whp range on meth, conservatively.
