No pics as I won't be attempting +50 on my toy!! lol

I am/was wanting a set of V36 18" or 19" wheels...found 3 sets and they're +50....it had me a bit gobsmacked and I had to ask the question to see if anyone has seen or attempted it, my car will have a lot of low and I want them tucked up in the guards....

wait... so you want the rims up inside the guards like a slammed commodore on GTS rims?

Hahaha definitely not mate, also not wanting a Mexican offset or run huge camber when I'm not gonna do any track work with this one.

I settled for a set of 34GTR rims OEM, 18x9 30offset and have 265/35's, I know there a bit soft but will do the job and let me

have trouble free fitment on already rolled guards.. will look at trying to achieve zero camber on back for full traction...

hey guys, I have a lowered r33gtst (guard must sit 10mm off guard)
im running 18x10+38 (on the rear) with 0deg camber for maximum traction. with a very tightly rolled lip I wana fit the widest tyre possible, can I go something like a 285/295? is this going to fit or will I need to flair the guard? cheers

285 you wont fit on 10+38's without guard work.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
