QUESTION 1:is there anyway i can find out the specs on them (dimensions, weight)???

QUESTION 2; also is it possible to run wider rubber on these. a mate is debating with me atm that i can run 305's on there.

so what is the biggest i could go. and how would they do it??

im not 100% but roughly measured fronts at 7.5 and rears at 8-8.5, but not very accurate...hence y i need specs

i love them...light as, but need more rubber soon.

The specs of the wheels should be on the wheels somewhere, either printed in or stuck on by a sticker.

If there's no sticker or any numbers just measure using a ruler, but remember that rim's width aren't measured from inside lip to outside lip. If you measure from one side to another and get 9" wide, chances are they're only 8" wide.

305's could fit, but what's the chances of them working properly.

If they are the IMPUL rims with different width from front to

rear, they can have it stamped in different places.

For the front it should be stamped on the rim facing the outside

of car (you need to remove the trim in the centre of wheel to

see it).

For the rear it can be stamped on the centre of rim,

facing the brake rotor.

The rim diameter, width of rim should be stamped there like

for example "16 JJ 9".

You're welcome. :P

From what I can understand from the link below (need to scroll down to under the Fig 1,2,3,etc),

JJ means the same size rim as a stock rim (I presume diameter) and JR is the tyre that

fits on that type of rim -

I think some fit 1 over size like 235 on 225 rim with stock R32 GTR rims. But from what I can

remember it makes the side walls of the tyre bulge and not sure how safe it is.

If you want more grip, could fit drag spec Nitto tyres on the rear or fit semi slicks or slicks

but don't drive when the road is wet.

    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
