Stephens,

Love the rims. Who makes them, what size are they and approximate cost? My E55 is coming in July and I was thinking of ordering the 19" Carlsson rims which look similar to yours.

Thanks.

Thanks T for the other pics... I guess I still cant decide. Ill eventually find others with these wheels and i can make a better decision...
Im debating betw the 841R, 843R, and 847R. After starting to get in contact with people, im actually disappointed that they will no longer paint the barrel of the wheel. I wanted that in black anodized or charcoal, just so that it would be easier to clean in the winter when I take them off. Oh well...

Stephen,Nice set up
Do you experience any rubbing w/ the 285's on the rear? did you do some modification like roll your fenders and how low did you drop it?

Thanks

E55 has fenders pre-rolled from factory. No problems with rears at all, you should be able to fit a 295, but unfortunately Michelin don't make this size. The fronts were required to be re-rolled as the guards did rub on angled driveway entries. I ended up having them re-rolled and pumped slightly.

What are the largest fronts that would fit without rubbing on 8.5 x 19 et35, Stephens?





Color Change is a copycat!

A 265 should fit. Just check the clearance between the inside of the tyre and the suspension. With the 255 running a 29mm offset there is around 15mm clearance.
