Stock at the moment, will mostly get 230rwkw once I'm finished with it. Used for the hills mainly.

Go 18 x 9.5 + ~25 all round with 235/40/18

Easy fit with just a lip and can rotate tyres.

With 230rwkw you dont need any more than quality 235's :)

I have 18x9.5+20 245/40/18 with ~250rwkw and the power gets put down fairly easily with decent tyres and wheel allignment. Set up for cornering though, with a bit more camber, powering out has to be done with finesse as the rear end gets happy.

What tyres? With 250rwkw you shouldn't have any trouble with traction

Any mods required

You will have to lip the guards or dial in camber to fit 10.5 @+12. This is a picture or 18x10 +12 and its boarder line. Your suggest rim is going to hang out more. I would go with a +15 or +18 on a 10.5" rim.

    • 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.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
