Re: 17's wheels

check out my pics posted in the PICTURES ONLY thread. The spyder was on 225/45/17s , 17" 5Zigen hyperblacks. Dont go over 17's...the rubber gets mroe expensive, but the lower profile means less tire life and more prone to curb damge, IMO.

Acutally, to tell you the truth.. that seems kind of shady.. 4 wheels with "Performance" low pro tires makes you question the quality of the wheels/tires.. i would find out what brand the tires are and look for someone with these wheels.

Re: 17's wheels

i can guarantee your tires will be thinner than the burger patty they put in the BigMac nowadays... 225/45/17s....just right.

Re: 17's wheels

no...the tires may be good quality for their SIZE....but you should get a THICKER tire. The Z4 is a nice sports car within its class, but Im more of an M3 person....ya get me?
