Tap Tap Taperoo!

Rear Wheels are ready! 235.40.17 on 17x10. 215.40.17 on order for my 17x9s on the front! Front end suspension rebuilt is en route along with the tires! Coilovers are VERY soon!

Hope to be completed and stanced within 30 days! Not too happy with the Yokos as the large, beefy shoulder makes it kind of look odd

I would say that this is caused by having too narrow a tire on your rim. I have Yoko R1R's 235/40R17 on a 7.5" wide rim and they fit nearly perfectly.

No. Many tires don't look like this. The Yokos are an Ultra High Performance tire so the shoulder/sidewall is very stiff. Thus it looks like it does.

Thanks for 'educating' me on tires though.

Nice ass wheels, but I guess I'm not "Cool enough" to understand the way the fuk to small of tire thing on a nice size wheel LOL

Anyway, I like the wheels for sure*

There is nothing to understand. There really isn't.

LOL. So, you already knew they would not look right due to the stiff sidewall and still went forward. Nice.

p.s. Nothing like holding up the stereotype of the typical bmw owner.

Define "looks right"...

Some people like their wheels protecting their tires anyways lol!

Well, if you read the first post, the OP said he did not like the way it looked. That is what I was referring to. lol

WTF? No I didn't know they would not 'look right'. I have never seen a photo of an Advan Neova, 235.40.17 on a 10" wide wheel. So no, I didn't know what it would look like and then did it anyways. I know WHY it looks like it does now.

WTF does that even mean? Stereotype of the typical BMW owner?

Well you didn't. Not too happy is what was said. As in the next set of tires I get will not be in the ultra high performance ball park.


Also as a side note. I got a set of four 235.40.17 Advan Neova's for free. So I am using them. They were not my first choice but I am not going to turn down a free set of 1,000 dollar tires that are the proper size for the rear



Stance - Jason is right. I am going for a certain 'stance' and stretching tires is needed. Sorry but I am not willing to destroy my fenders to fit a 265 onto the back of my e36 convertible.
