Just installed my new Radenergies w/Bridgestone S03's and B&B exhaust. I have to say I am still getting used to the new sound, but it growing on me every day!

 

19 or 20...tire size is??

Dont worry abou the sound...soon you wont be able to live without it...looks great

 

Nice! You'll love the B&B more & more every day!

 

I went with 19's with 245/35 front and 275/30 rear.

Is it me or does the throttle response seem much better with the B&B?

Funny thing I was contemplating going back to the stock muffler until my wife took her first ride with the B&B installed and she said she thought he sound nice.

 

Awesome wheels. I considered getting these at one point. They look good on an e60.

The B&B muffler has such a sweet note to it. For about two weeks I preferred turning off the music and just listening to the exhaust.
I drive a manual and downshifting/rev-matching is such a joy with this.

 

Nice wheels, I have 18" with 245/40 front and 275/35 rear and I notice from your side on shot that the wheels look small in the rear arch why the hell is this I have the same problem and i wondered if I had went for 275/40 rear would the extra 5mm make the difference see pic The front looks really well as the wheel fills the arch. As I say your wheels look really well

From your signature, I take it that you've got 9" all around. A 10" width in the rear wheels will help to fill that space even more. Especially from the rear 3/4 angle shot you posted (obviously won't notice a 1" wider wheel too much from a direct side shot of a vehicle).

Also, the "35" or "40" in the dimensions of a tire is not measured in millimeters. Instead, it is a "percentage" of the first number which IS measured in millimeters. Getting a 40 series (vs. 35) will make for a taller tire (assuming the width stays at 275mm), however, it's not going to be "5mm" taller.

Do your sums and tell me how much taller the wheel is I am aware of the percentage aspect of the tyre ratio. I make it 96.5 to 110
oh and sorry for hitting the quote button as opposed to the reply one

 

 

Man, these wheels sure are popular. I like your taste!
