that is a serious tire

ELLeon

Coming along slowly, waiting to pick them up. Then I will still need more body work. I still need to finish overhauling the engine, once it gets warmer.

ELLeon

Tires have been mounted. BMW style 95 widen to 19x13 wheels on 325/30/19 tires.

Lutkis

Now that's wide.

Can't wait to see them installed.

Pretty sweet build and that's some serious rubber. I'm in Minneapolis, just curious where you're at and let me know if you ever need a hand, I'd be more than happy to help out.

I haven't done much to the engine yet, the cold has kept me from being in the garage. Where in MN are you located? I am in Elk River. I am looking into getting a jet heater and overhaul the engine to replace gaskets and seals, as well as the water pump. Aside from that I have been trying to work on the things that don't require me being in the cold freezing garage like the wheels, gauge cluster, center console and other things.

South Minneapolis, just north of the Airport and the Mall of America. Yeah, I hear ya, my garage is un-insulated and is no fun to be in when it's below 30*, let alone work on anything. You can always find a used setup on a CL, but yeah HD or Fleetfarm has reasonable setups. If you're doing your own harness/wiring, that's something that can be done inside to some extent. I drive a lot for work, I'm occasionally in ER, maybe sometime if you're around I'll stop by and take a look and we can chat.

Did some cleaning in my garage. Need to work more efficiently.

Small update CL folks. I decided to do some measuring and mount the rear wheels to see how much I needed for the adapters/spacers. I used some washers to get a good idea on how far out the wheels needed to be. So after careful planning I was able to get a system together to mount and measure, this is what I ended up with.







When I used 3 of these washers, 3 per lug nut, I ended up with the tires touching the coilsprings.



So I used 5 washers per lug, with that I ended up with a clearance that I found acceptable.









Due to the below zero weather we had previously had the tire had lost air, so I had to fill it up. Comparison of 325/30/19 tires on the 19x13 wheels, and the 235/35/19 stretched on 19x10 wheels.



Now I just need to order a pair of 34mm spacer/adapters from Motorsport Tech to be able to mount these monsters.

you going to run fender flairs?

ELLeon

I am not sure, there aren't any I like. I wish there was a good Rocket Bunny kit for our cars but there isn't. So I will be most likely getting fender work.
