Dramatic Looks: Staggering wheel and tire widths front to rear can give you the 'sports car' look of big fat rubber in the rear with  a ready to pounce stance.
Maximum Performance: We recommend a "square" setup for the desired absolute neutral handling and braking on the track, also works great on the street ! A great feature is that these square (running all four wheels the same width) not only balances the chassis when cornering and braking, but lets you rotate tires so you get the absolute most tire life out of expensive rubber!

Fitment and tech tips:
-A small 10mm spacer may be required for some wide r-compound setups or some 255 width high performance summer tires on the front axel (available by clicking a box above).
-Most street tires fit without rubbing, however, some E36 customers with AST coilover kits have commented that a spacer helps up front for spring perch clearance. In this instance, adding a 10mm spacer allows clearance if needed.
-Keep in mind; suspension components, camber, ride height, and tire size all effect fitment.
-It's common for E36 owners to roll their rear fenders when running a very wide meaty tire (like a  255) on an 8.5" or 9" wheel in the rear for added clearance.
-A recommended direct fit tire size for the E36 and Z3 are 245/40/17 with the maximum recommended size being 255/40/17.
-As a point of reference, 17x8.5 wheels are the same size as E36 M3 96-99 rear OEM wheels
