So I just ordered my Super Sports. 4 x 275/35/19 for $1498 shipped. I'll get a $70 rebate card in a few weeks too.

Regular price would have been $1536 + shipping with no rebate card.

I assume for the 5.0? Those are pretty meaty to put on the S2K :rofl2:

They are expensive but they blow the Hanpoops out of the water.

If you are on a budget get the Continental DW. Much better than the V12 and not much more $$$.

I dont think you posted up enough pics of it. ;)

I am officially jealous.

Please post link of where you bought the lip so I can imitate you.

Masa 02-22-2012 09:26 AM

So I can either do...

2 x 225/50/18
2 x 245/45/18
Total: $931.91

OR

2 x 245/45/18
2 x 265/40/18
Total: $1108

Think the wider patch would be worth it?

I'd go for it. 225 is way too small up front for the Z.

I know, I don't think Damien will be happy with just 20 pics. He might still hit me with the :worthless: :rofl2:

Just PM EvoR on the forum. That's who I ordered it through. Got the lip for $235 shipped and then cost $100 more for paint and install :tup:

I messaged him on his site and never heard back from him.

You going to black out your fangs still?

Actually the 225 is more than enough. Most guys who tracked ran those and did phenomenally (on the m3 forums, with a heavier car than the z) compared to the 245/19 in the front. Yes this was NOT a Z, but the e46 m3 is very comparable to the Z in many ways.

The Z has gobs of understeer and benefits greatly from more tire up front. Just ask Red what it's like to try to hustle the car with 225s up front. You're left wanting for more front grip.

I'm going to have 275s up front. :yum:

Masa 02-22-2012 09:40 AM

I could always get a set of rear OEM 18" wheels and go for a square setup - 265's all around!

No it's not enough tire.

You forget that the z is much more front heavy and prone to pushhhhh

Ahh...

Well I cant comment cause I dont have 225's up front. Unless you go on the Dragon or track it or drive hard, 225's should be fine. But then....what would be the point of owning this car if you dont do any of that stuff!
