square 18" track set up - ready to go. - Page 3

icemang17 · 07-19-2008, 11:06 AM

I'm also waiting for a track day review......since I'm "shopping" for a similar setup.... but I am leaning towards spending a bit more $$$ and getting the CCW setup with 9.5" front and 10.0 or larger rears.......ideally I would love to have 275 fronts and 315 rears...if it will fit without fender mods & I don't know if it will.....

Dinan has finally put up their mega-bux wheel setup for the E92 M3 on their website. They don't quote offsets but they call for 275-30x19 on a 9.5" rim at the front and 295-30x19 on a 10" rim at the rear. Presumably 275-35x18 and 295-35x18 would work as well on 18x9.5 and 18x10's. I suspect the offsets have to be perfect,though.

Nice setup. I looked on the Tirerack website but couldn't find the tires you have. Any links??

This will let you shop by size or by brand:

R1 is an excellent track tire. Performance is competitive with Hoosier R6, and durability seems to be better for most people.

I assume they require their front camber plates with this setup?

When I looked last week, the only parts Dinan listed for the E92 is the set of wheels. No other suspension or drive-train parts. So, apparently you don't need camber plates because they don't offer camber plates for you to need. At least, not yet.

enigma · 07-22-2008, 10:30 AM

No, you don't need camber plates to fit a 9.5" in the front.

sg335 · 07-22-2008, 11:29 AM

I have Dinan camber plates on my 2007 335 E90. I assume they transfer to the M3

sayemthree · 07-22-2008, 02:52 PM

a 9.5 or 10 inch wheel will fit under the front - but it will stick out a bit. the rear stock wheel fits in the front but looks a bit silly. since I planned to run a 265 all the way around there was no need for me to go to a wider/heavier tire.

I will revive this ancient thread to ask a relevant question: what hot pressures did you run with the BFGs last year on the track with your setup? Thanks.

sayemthree · 03-23-2009, 10:15 PM

37 to 43 hot. BFG has a nice 5 or 6 page PDF will all kinds of info on the tires including temps to look for. i think you can link it from the tire rack site. if you can find it let me know.

turbo8765 · 05-12-2012, 07:18 AM

OP, can you post pics of the inside of the wheel where the tire meets the wheel?

This thread is over 3 years old and haven't seen the OP around in a while. There are plenty other threads in the forum discussing this topic.
