SOLD

I'm selling my 255/40-17 Toyo RA1's that I used on my E36 M3. I've converted the M3 back to a street car. I would not be selling these tires if the M3 was still my track car. The tires have drop about 3-4 secs a lap but still have good grip and are very predictable. There a a couple of weekends left on these tires. There are no plugs or patches on these tires. $60 for the set of 4.

Pics can be found here:

I know these are claimed, but will this size fit a non-M3 e36? What size rims were you running them on, 9"?

The STU E36 M3 that won nationals was on 17x9s with 255/40/17s if I'm not mistaken (or 265/40/17)

- Wheels were 17x8.5 Kosei
- I have Vorshlag camber plates and AST shocks
- I ran 10mm spacers up front (nothing in the rear)
- fenders are rolled.
- There was light scrubbing under steering input to lock (right and left). But, you shouldn't see this on track.

You may have to adjust your ride height to insure you don't have scrubbing inside the wheel well under compression.
