In a message dated 3/14/2008 1:46:22 PM Eastern Daylight Time, autoxcrazy@yahoo.com writes: I have a set of SSR Integral wheels (8") and I've been running 235/40-17 tires on them (RE-750's). It's my understanding that a 245/40-17 tire (not sure about the RE-01R) will fit on the front w/o rubbing issues They should fit without rubbing, however, a 245 width tire is not the best fit on a 8" wide rim. It would be better to have a 8.5" width rim for optimum tire/wheel fit. cheers, Bob Gill 97 ///M3 coupe Philly Region SCCA 2005 / 2006 Philly Region BSP Champion Sponsored by Wheel Collision Center & Rogue Engineering **************It's Tax Time!

I think I tossed my 1st bad one, but it was the same as the one I have installed now: "Ronak". Both of mine came from Turner if I remember correctly. Dave

I predict he'll once again have the 'you ran over my puppy' look at the end of the race. :-) Go Kubica! Carlos. (more of a McLaren fan though) 98 M3 still in storage

Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2008 22:03:47 -0500 From: "Robert Exconde" <99e36m3@exconde.com> Subject: RE: Coolant reservoir tank Well I tried to finish everything off, but I need the car tomorrow so I had to get all the pipes in place at least and get it going. In the summer I'll do the radiator, tstat and pump and do a full flush. I think I could do it next time in 1/4 the time. But I still managed to break several plastic pieces in the process. My coolant sensor is also no longer showing up so I guess the sensor was broken, I just did it because I was changing the reservoir. Thanks for all the responses.

Is there such thing as an oil system flush? Id imagine that there is a lot of crud in there. I do use the BG product oil treatment, but I wonder if there is something else I should do at 185K miles.

I'm looking for the true LTW polished forged wheels with "BMW" and "Motorsport" stamped in them. I'm not looking for the similarly designed shiny wheels without the words stamped in them.
