Yea seriously, traction is always good but not as fun lol, start modding and when you finally accomplish spinning through gears witha wide wheel setup, its even more of a joy Nice wheels and SICK tires, i want them!

So do i, but its very hard to find in the M3 lol, taking off in first gear is all spinning, shift to second and your almost sideways fighting the car and a little spin going into third, STOCK with wide *** wheels and tires and new suspension done, its a beast!

Holy crap Martin you can do all that with your M3? I'm sk8ermoo on m3forum.net btw. I mean I guess you could do that if you really tried to but just aggresively driving I don't think anyone with a stock M3 can SPIN in 3rd. Spin in 1st and chirp/spin in 2nd yes with a slight chirp in 3rd(sometimes) is usually how it goes.

Nooo, no! From a roll or from a dead stop im spinning all through first up until redline, then i have to shift so i shift fast and the wheels just start spinning through second again and fishtailing all over the road ALMOST going sideways, yes a few tiemes it was scary like that and it wont chirp in third, my car doesnt chirp but you hear the tire losing traction, hard to explain the sound but this is also because of the freezing weather here in NY probably
I'll take a video of it sometime this week when the 123818-3 feet of snow we got and are getting clears up!

Question for you, is your car lowered at all?? I will be getting 19s in the future but was curious to see what they looked like on stock ride height. Also do you have a camber kit on your car? Reason i ask is b/c it looks like your rear tire the top part (closest to your fender) is sticking inwards and the bottom part (part touching the road) is protruding out?? looks like a camber issue, but it could be the angle of the pic?? is it true when going w/ wider than stock tires/rims and larger size that a camber kit is needed??

BTW hot rims and tires!!

Nope the car is still stock hight. And the camber is not off it's just the angle I took the picture.

Thanks.

David,

Thats great. I wanted aftermarket 19s but wanted stock ride/suspension. I was just worried IF/when i did upgrade to 19s that id need to also lower/camber...but i like the way your's looks w/ stock height!!

Thanks bro!!

I have Racingharts J5 and Bfgood 285/35/19 in the back they look sick. i think we got the same tires. does your tires and rims weights more or less than stock ones?
