Falken Rims and Tires

[QALL80]

does anybody know about the 20" falken rim and tire package that bolts onto the e46 without mods to suspension or body?

who sells them in toronto?

unless you have an m3. you cant fit a 20" rim on an e46...

how big and wide can you go? i have a 2000 323i.
thanks!

i had 19"x8.5 and i was slammed...i needed to roll my fenders...

the sedans dont have as wide of wheel wells....id say 19x9 is the largest you could go

20s are do-able... but i wouldn't recommend...
on a 19x8.5 rim running 235/35-19, the sidewall is already so thin... on a 20" rim, u will be running like 30 or even 25 sidewall which is not practical on GTA roads...

unless u want to drive SUPER carefully to avoid pot holes... not to mention the extra cost incurred in a 20" wheel comparing to 19"

i guess the widest u can go 245 or even 255 on the back depending on offset of the rim and the tire shape...

20's on a non M3 will be murder on GTA roads.

235/35/19's are hard enough as it is dodging potholes and other road hazzards.

20's will also slow your car down a lot as even more of the rotational mass is on the outside diameter of the wheel. A 323i would feel like mush with 20's.
