BMW 330d :)
Whats the widest rubber I could go for on a std 172 cup with turinis? I know the alloys are the same width as the 182 so 205's should be a prob. Can they go as far as 215's? And would this affect handling or acceleration? I wouldnt have thought so as it isnt increasing the rolling diameter.
Oh and would I have probs lowering the car later with 215's?
I think the benefits of increased grip round corners and off the line would cancel out any negatives. This is why the mags say the 182 cup accelerates slightly quicker to 60 as it can put more power down off the line. Even though the 172 cup has a slightly better pwr/weight.
