In regards to your e-mail, sounds good, give me some more specifics and let me know what info you needs.If i decide to go that route,Now is the time for me to make any changes if needed before buying the wrong part and finding out that its not for my car or that i could have bought something else better. When it comes to buying or installing anything on my car, i am very particular and don't just put any crap, it must be OEM or Top of the line, recommended for the E31.
Hey Guys!
I needs to know some spec on fitting Rims on my 91 850i.I am planning on purchasing a set of Hamann Motorsport PG II 3peice Rims, They come in 18x8.5 thru 18x10.I would like to know what suggestions does anyone have as far as rims size for the front, should i do a 18x8.5 or 9.I an putting 245/40 ZR18's on the front.On the back should i do an 18x9.5 or a 10, which would look better and flush comming in line with tedge of the wheelwell.I also need to know, with this size rim, can i run a 285/35.18 tire on that size rim without messing up the speedometer/or the speedometer being off because of the upgrade in size rim. I was told that i can run the risk of throwing the speedometer reading off a bit by doing so, is this true, because a few people are telling me different stories.Also i have 850 CSI springs on my ride, don't want the car to sit to low, don't need the headache. I was looking for some progressive springs that aren't to l;ow like H & R, i heard that Ebach is sort of stiff. Should i stay with the springs that i already have, or can someone recommend a set of springs so that i can get the look and ride that i want? Does anybody know anything about the dinan or hamann springs,i know that hamann springs are 40mm in the Front an 2mm in thr rear,which is how many inches"/in conversion? I've noticed that some of the 850 owners and running same size springs all the way aroung and some aren't, front & rear and different sizes, which is better to do.
Hello Basil,
if you want I can supply with some infos on this issue, based on what is recommended BY BMW in germany and in addition by the german DOT.I also can provide you with the infos on the springs and can order those in the proper heights for you from germany, also saving some money.
Feel free to e-mail me with your detailed request.
