- No rub issues with tires that tall? Or did you mean 235/45/17? Smokin deal either way! - ThetaTau87 2014-11-19 17:06:49 (1932 views)
  - yes, they are gigantic, really - just me 2014-11-26 10:08:20 (1880 views)
  - It does not rub but I chose to touch up the upright on one spot with an angle grinder and get more - kinderutz 2014-11-19 20:36:11 (2382 views)
    - I wonder what the top speed is now? :) - kinderutz 2014-11-19 20:40:27 (1939 views)
      - IFF your original speed limiter was exactly at 155mph and the true speed was 155.   -  SloopJohnB  2014-11-20 14:05:23 (1948 views)
        
        thats what i thought but the car goes like a bat out of hell, smoother off the line then before but  -  kinderutz  2014-11-20 20:21:50 (1928 views)
        
        first tiem in history that selecting ahgiher gear and lower revs improved acceleration.....  -  just me  2014-11-21 13:24:49 (1936 views)
        
        There are iPhone apps (BMW M makes one) that will integrate acceleration and give you 0-60  -  SloopJohnB  2014-11-21 12:06:41 (1917 views)
        
        That can't be true. Taller wheels will decrease acceleration and make the speedo read lower  -  ThetaTau87  2014-11-21 11:00:11 (1937 views)
