Impatiently waiting! EAS

Mike V8 · 09-08-2012, 12:07 AM

Got the call from Robert at EAS! I had the ESS VT2-600 on order and now I just have to wait for the challenge x-pipe to come in! Hopefully only a few sleepless nights are ahead of me! I can't wait!
On a side note, I have no idea about tires, spacers and rims. Can anyone lend me a hand on what'll give me the best results for traction?
Thanks,
Mike

Your VT2-600 system is waiting here, safe and sound.

Most choose 9.5" Fronts with 10.5" rears using a 295/265 combo for a sizeable footprint. Offsets on wheels will determine whether spacers are needed or not.

Which challenge X-pipe did you get?

For wheels, what size are you looking at?
Most want 9.5/10.5 with et+22 front and rear, like tom said.

Lol you're not helping Tom!
Would I have any rubbing issues with the 295/265 set up?

I got the cattless race, I thought that the race plus would have been a little bit much

Not at all, I'm running the same configuration. Now it's simply a matter of what style/brand wheel you want.

Drop by at our dyno shootout tomorrow, there will be a number of modded M3s you can base your choice from.

Mike V8 · 09-08-2012, 12:50 AM

Damn! I wish I could! Do you think I could check yours out when I come by to drop off the car?

You will rub with a 295 rear on 10.5 ET 22 unless perhaps you are running max camber. ET 28 or so should work but 295 is IMO too wide on a 10.5" rear wheel - doesnt look aesthetically pleasing and since the tire shoulder is so square you need to sacrifice a lot of offset to alleviate rubbing. Also, since the car understeers stock I would try not to increase the front/rear width stagger. I believe you should be able to run a 275/30/19 in front. I currently run 265/35/19 with no rubbing whatsoever.

Thanks for the input guys I really appreciate it!

What do you do when it comes time to smog the car? Do you have to uninstall everything?

Swapping mid pipes isn't difficult.

In Cali, you need to pass visual inspection, which means you need the stock intake.
