let us know how the 285s work out!

 

My new setup:
Front 19 x 9 Bridgestone RE050A 255/35
Rear 19 x 10 Bridgestone RE050A 285/30

The sidewall profile is nowhere near as beefy as the PS2's, It definitely looks like a much better fit IMO.

 

Good catch. CCW rocks. I don't know of another company who has been able to make 16" wheels work on the E55 rear.

 

This is exactly what I have been running for about 4 months now. Perfect fit and ride. Darn Torquey55, that's some scary damage. My rubbing was on the outside with my CCWs but only a little.

Jangy, I really don't think you'll be happy with the 295s on 10 inches. If it doesn't rub at static suspension it WILL rub sometime, bumps, lowering, turns. My CCWs have a more aggressive off set and rubbed the outside. Torquey55's ate the inside. Do what BlackC230Coupe says and roll your fenders, get an aggressive offset then go 295s. Just trying to help you out.

 

Does CCW make a 16" wheel for these cars to use with a drag radial or DOT?
S.

 

I think that's exactly what DerekFSU did for his omgrun.

 

Glad you got it in time...it could have been ugly!!!

 

True, they get it done.

 

Glad you caught it before anything serious happened.

 

Looks like the rim itself has some damage too. That would indicate improper offset wouldn't it ?

 

Glad you finally noticed the issues prior to disaster striking
That sound system of yours must be something else

 

LoG
WALK WITH ME IN HELL!

 

That's PATHETIC Ricky!

 

Quit being a REDNECK!

 

Yes there is a way! I am a bit **** and mirror polish my exhaust pipes from the diff to the mufflers every time I wash my car. That way I get a good view of what's going on down there at regular intervals

 

I have this exact same setup and with ELM, no fender roll and I have no rubbing issues. from what I can gather John is convinced the sidewall profile and strength of these RE050A's is the way to go.
