Did-it...Love it! Carol at Tbyrnes hooked me up with The wheels, tires, hubrings and lugnuts.

Went with 8.5 and 9.5's and 265/35ZR18 in the front and 235/40ZR18's in the rear. I tried not cutting the fenders but they rubbed. Used a Roto-zip to cut around a 1/4 to 1/2 inch and have not rubbed yet. Cutting the fenders took about 15 minutes. A disk grinder could be used to get a real clean finish. Going to get panel sealer since the spot welds have been removed just to be safe.

I hope you have that backwards - 235 up front & 265 out back.

235 on an 8.5" wheel is kinda small...245 should fit no?

245 will fit fine up front. Thats what I run. Same wheel only in Chrome.

Looks great on your car. :thumbs:

Been a few days and the traction is much better in the dry and wet then the stock tires (original w/ 20k). Also have not had any rubbing issues. Thank you again to Tbyrne and this message board!

Looks like a fat Beemer from the side.



I like it. Gives them another reason to be jealous. Our's look even better with their rims.
Nice work.
