is this possible? they are running 19x9.5 front with 265 30 19 tires? http://www.dinanbmw.com/

StevoSEA · 02-17-2006, 02:02 PM

yes, but if in doubt call dinan direct for all details, i have talked to them on several occasions, and they have been very thorough and honest in answering questions not only about their products but bmw's in general

Are mods done by Dinan covered under warranty?

Dinan matches BMW's 4 year warranty.

I have 275's in back for my autocross setup. I am seeing if they fit up front this weekend. I was running 255's up front last year in my e90. There was a ton of room left over too.

Those are Dinan auth BMW dealer warranty. In short, warranty by Dinan.

vladinecko · 02-17-2006, 03:58 PM

oh man, those wheels cost like 1/6 of what your whole car is worth!

shragon · 02-17-2006, 04:04 PM

yea, dinan doesn't BS. if it's stated on their site, they've found a way to make it work.

also, i think you're only covered by the warranty if you have the parts installed by dinan itself or an authorized bmw dealer.

My wheels are Kosei K1's in 17x8.5 et40. Yeah, I know that the wheels are a bit small for the tire, but they are not bulged, and they look right.

I have not installed my H&R sport springs yet, but I plan to, once I see about the fronts w/275's. I'd rather have the extra rubber up front than lower the car. Hopefully, I can do both.

It would be nicer, quicker, and less expensive if this had already done before. I have to order tires/wheels 2 at a time to check fitiment up front or in back.. have different tires mounted, etc.

My ideal suspension setup would be (for now):

275 rear
275 front
sport springs (no way I can do race springs without rolling the fenders)
front and rear sways

I think I may be able to do this. I may need spacers in the front, but the et40 offset in back was sufficient for no spacers to be needed.

With that setup, I'm in the local CCA class of CS, which is going against slightly/moderately modified e36 M3's, and Mini S's. My goal was to minimize the need for LSD with more grip via more rubber. I had great luck with the e90 last year. It is a very good car for autocross, and beat just about any other non-M car (and a fair number of M cars too).

I went to Dinan's site today ... and now the wheel is listed at a 9" with a 245. Did anyone every ask them if they where actually running a 9.5" with a 265??? If they where did anyone get the offset?

DasBlitz · 08-21-2007, 12:18 PM

wow, too costly for me.

JIMD1709 · 08-21-2007, 12:47 PM

In the print is says "includes front wheel spacers/lug bolt set". probably helps with the offset, but that's a huge tire to stuff in there.

+1 I mean, they look ok, but not at that price.

Vegas_Sirk · 08-21-2007, 01:12 PM

Dinan wheels are not for looks. Their wheels are top notch but will cost a kidney or two.
