i think you could run 295's if you run lower air pressure. Normally people with 9.5 use 275 or 285

I just ran across this thread. I have those on my T/A with 285/35/18 Pirelli P-Zero Rossa's. They actually measure 10" on the rears not 9.5". There's plenty of room for a 295 maybe even a 315 Nitto.

ADR M-Sports. 18x9 in front and 18x10 in rear. pirelli P-Zero Rossa's 255/40/18 in front 285/35/18 in rear. Eibach Sportlines.

That car looks awesome with those M-sports. Where did you get them, and how do they fit with the BMW bolt pattern?

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks guys. Actually the pics do them no justice. They do look awesome in person. They fit like a glove. They don't stick out or in at all and slide right on like they were made for the car. They do have a different hub bore and you can get hub centric rings. I don't have them because I've had 0 problems with them. I've had them up to about 120mph with no vibration what so ever.

Yeah, those look great. I was planning on getting the chrome ones for a while but then decided to get drag rims instead. Might still get them when I have some extra cash.

I personally wouldn't put BMW rims to F-body or Vette. Our bolt pattern is 120.65 mm (4.75") and BMW is 120 mm. There is high possiblity that the bolts might break.

There are plenty of guys saying that it's OK, but when you have 300-400+ hp the risk gets higher with every hp added.

This is just my IMHO.

You are only talking about roughly a .5 mm over a distance of 4.75". If you take into consideration that the center of each lug stud will only be about .25mm off center not to mention using acorn style (tappered) lug nuts, I see no problem with it. You won't be breaking any studs. Your rear end will go way before your studs will. I personally have these wheels and they fit like a glove. Slide right on like they were made for the car. If you didn't know that they had a different lug pattern and put one on you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Just to clarify my level of expertise in this area I have been an auto technician for 20 years. I used to work with Dennis Lugo of Lugo Performance in Central Florida. I also used to set up the suspension,align and true tires for several guys who ran SCCA autocross out at Matrin Marieta in Orlando and have dealt with my share of wheels, lug studs, axles you name it.
