So I may/may not have something else in the works. :whistling:

These wheels/tyres have done around 5000kms from new.

The wheels were from a short run in 5x114.3. Seem to be really popular in the US for the BMW crew and were really hard to get in this stud pattern, size and colour. I don't believe they are still being made in this sizing so. Happy to be proven wrong, but I haven't seen another set in Oz!

Perfect size for the M35's I reckon, and means my speedo runs nearly perfect at 100kmh. (can't actually remember the speed and my old man's GPS is 250km's away).

Wheels:

Avant Garde M310

Hyper Silver

19x9.5+20

5x114.3

No gutter rash!

Tyres:

Kuhmo KU31

245/40 R19

This package set me back well over $3000 just a few months ago.

Looking to sell for $2750.

Remind us what suspension you're running with this? Did you need to lip the guards to avoid rubbing? Wondering if this is a wife-approved combo.

I'm running BC BR's, mainly just so I could tweak the height.

The guards are lipped. I did the front and rears since my mate had a guard roller handy, however Chris (who runs the same combo) and Ben (his brother) in Sydney tell me that you don't need to bother with the rears.

My wife drives with this setup, and to give you an idea, she refuses to even try driving a manual and probably has never broken a speed limit in her life :laugh: . Up close it looks awesome but from further away it just has a tough factory wagon look (in my opinion) - doesn't look too aggressive at all, so neither of us have ever felt like the cops are thinking about pulling us over. The only response we've had from them was a thumbs up from one once. :thumbsup:

So what have you got in the works to replace them?

Everything is completely on hold at the moment. >.<

Moved house this weekend, car has kind of taken a back seat for a bit. That said, I'm thinking about heading down the "murdered out" path. :)

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
