I'll be glad to give all board members 15% off DPE's...

jangy,

i really like your setup with the 275 and 295. I think sticking with the 18incher is a good move since you keep the rolling diameter very very similar to stock. I am even thinking of doing the same setup for the E63. I hav one question though, u sure with the 18x9 275 up front wont rub at all during full lock turn over bumps?

I am thinking of doing just the 18x9 265 up front with the 18x10 295 at the back, with the CCW 505A. Let me know what you think about this setup? Thanks.

Ian

Ian,
I am positive about the fronts. All you need to do to test is take your rear wheels and put them on the front. The rears are 18X9et39 with 265s, right? Swap front and rear and test ride it. I do it allk the time. There is absolutely no rubbing or issues in any way. It is actually getting the rear to work with a 295 that is the challenge. The front has a taller wheel opening AND more width room, so it is the easy part.

Good luck.
