    I think all throwing stars are 17. The car is lowered about F/R 1.3/1 with a vanilla Bilstein/H&R package.

    Hans, below is 235/45-17, 255/40-17 on BBS #5's, lowered 1.5/1. It's a nicely balanced setup!

    Thanks Hans. I think you might be able to put 265/35's under the rear wheels...I believe some guys may have those on their E34's, but you would likely have to have the inner rear fenders rolled. My fronts were rolled by the first owner to take the drop. Rears aren't. You'd also want to take some careful measurements for the rears...especially offset. There wont be a lot of play either inwards or outwards with 265's. Let us know how you decide to go...

    Cheers,
    Duey
