I was looking at around 2.5k, which includes tires....since I saw that sets are going for like 2k for wheels only. :\

2500 is fair, but that's not homie pricing :P

-1 camber isn't being recommended. That's just the max you can go with the pins in. Take out the pins, and get -1.6, now that's recommended, especially since you track. You're probably going to wear the center and outside of the tire and kill tires prematurely given your tire usage.

Alignment is confusing

Hence why I'm not selling to homies at this time.

Just don't touch it. If you get different tires you'll clear without rubbing and you won't have any problems. Is tire wear going to be an issue before lease return? I dunno how long it'll last myself, hence the question.

I've heard mixed results about 265/30/19 AD08s clearing the front, and EAS told me that 295/30/19 will rub 100% in the rear without some negative camber.
They have -1.5 F -.5 R, but their rim is 19x10 et 25, where mine is 10x10.5 et 22... so yeah

19x10 et25 versus 19x10.5 et22 should be really similar in clearance. The difference between the two setups is around 3 millimeters. in clearance.

Check out how small a difference 3 millimeters is.... :\

But yeah, if they say a 295 will rub, then just go for a 285. I'm using a 285 right now, no rubbing, but AD08 is more square than PS2, so if you want to be safe just go for a 255 front 275 rear AD08's and I'd venture to guess that that would be plenty safe.

3mm in offset, but the rear is also .5in wider


the thing is, their car is lowered..I'm stock height

they don't make a 285/30/19 AD08...otherwise I wouldn't be having any issues right now :/

255/35/19 F AD08s rub 100% because the tire is .6 inches taller than a 260/30/19. I researched this quite a bit lol

a forum member has 19x9.5 et 22 265/30/19 AD08s in the front (stock e90 ZCP) and he has no rubbing whatsoever.
ZCP is lower than non-zcp. so in affect I should be okay
Martin D said the front rubs, but he was really low

my only issue is the 295/30 rear
I noticed everyone who rubs is lowered...I'm stock height, but the rear does sit low with the top open.... so as long as I don't drive top down on the 10 freeway with 4 people I should be fine..

Best part for me is that James is going to run 295/30/19 rear, so he said I can test fit :P

If it clears, I'm ordering a set asap

i just wish they made a 285/30/19 AD08!

this site lists 285/30/19 AD08s..

No, I meant, 3 mm difference total. It's 3mm less offset followed by 6.35mm greater width (0.25 inches). 6.35-3=3.35mm, so I said about 3mm because I was just being lazier. This is a really dumbed down calculation and it's open to a lot of error though, but it should be around 3mm....

Just leave it stock. lol It's just a whole lot less complicated that way.

My rotors are shot.

Hairline cracks all around the drilled ports and warped. Tried getting the pad deposits out, but they are simply warped.

The joys of the track.

If he knows someone that works at a dealer, I'm sure they'll help him out. Rotors are regularly covered under the service plan anyways. They don't like to replace rotors that have been tracked on, but I haven't heard of too many situations where it's been refused.

Switching rims won't help him, his wheels are fine I suspect.

Good luck Malek!

Late Braking said he was gonna give me his rims and tires as a gift. juss sayin.

Tell them to register a name here, I don't think they need to be a paying sponsor to just ask questions, just to sell products, right? They'd get better results making a poll in this forum.

I already have Brembo BBK, but if I didn't, I would have been interested in something like this.

No wonder you thought I said something loony like free wheels and tires. Only shift knob for you!

It's ok, you weren't the craziest one that night. Between Puldog....and Roma hitting on a girl that just got married....

Have fun at Oakley, let me know how it goes. I'll show up if I can.
