<E28> Re: E28 tire question

[Dykaar@xxxxxxxxx]

Howard,

The PO had 215-60s on 15x7 wheels. The rears occasionally touched the outer
fender. I've gone to 225-50s and ground the rear fender lips to the spot
welds. the car is also lowered by the H&R springs and has a lot less body
roll between the springs and bars. In my experience its body roll that
limits the tire size, not up and down suspension travel.

Regards,

Doug Dykaar
