Widest tire on 162 wheels for auto-x

Bong · 04-12-2011, 10:49 AM

I'm running my e90 this weekend at NWOR but thinking bout DSP or STU and I need new tires.

I am just trying to figure out what the widest tire I can run ony my 162's if I run DSP.

It's either going to be Hoosier A6's 245/40/18 fronts 275/35/18 rear on my stock 162's if it fits, if not I'll just go with the Dunlop Star Specs and run STU. Thanks.

i would suggest running a square setup of 255/40/18.
Good luck

Depending on your region I doubt you'd be competitive in STU... But you could be an awesome driver and I would never know. Anyway... 255/40/18 would be ideal. Rip out the back seats if you can.

Can't you just take the back seat off nicely Jesus Christ we ain't all made out of money lol
