I'm pretty sure the E92 and M2 weigh the same (actually just looked, they both weigh ~3400 when weighed by actual owners with 1/4 tank of gas) and similar size....the M2 definitely has more torque down low, but I dont know if its actually useable. It might turn out that the M2 can only put down the same amount of torque as the M3 without blowing the tires off... I'd love to compare data on an STU E92 vs an STU M2 on the same course and see...hopefully we'll have a chance to!

And I hope so! Data would definitely be interesting. My car has had St* weight reduction and is finally down to 3450 after weighing last week, but it's not a lightweight spec, so maybe a stripper e9x would be closer to the M2.

The goodyears in the size we tested is slower compared to the larger sizes. 265+ get a tread design change that puts them on pace with the other 200tw tires, and is the size that I and my co-driver (FS national champion) are running on my car, and they are really....really good.

FYI, someone was able to stuff 295/30R18's on the front of their BS set up M2. So for anyone that WANTS to do it... It's possible. With that being said, I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you get camber and wiser wheels, you're just gonna be setting cash on fire.
But in STU however.... I'm coming for you Kelse92 |

Man an e92 with 315's would be a force to be reckoned with... I hope you can make it happen! Maybe with a really big spacer? 🤔

You all are nuts. I like it tho!
If someone can make the 295/30/18 on a 10.5” wheel work upfront, and 315/30/18 on a 11” wheel in the back, I’m game. Should be easy enough to get the rear to work. The front will be the challenge on a lowered car. |

Yeah, lowered I'm not sure about. Tyspeed did it with their M2 race car, so it should be possible. But we know 295's fit at stock height with the stock suspension and wheels, so I would guess with camber and the right spacers t should work with a lowered car....gonna find out next year haha

The things you do in Solo 2 to go faster :-) Back in the day around 2003-2004 I had my E36M3 modified in BSP to mount 285/30 Hoosiers. Just a couple years later some of the Nat drivers were fitting 315's!
Sure it can be done, and I've not put the time into what might work under the F87 chassis. On my E36 we used E46 fenders, which were cut and grafted on the body. After the wheel wells were all cut up :-) I'm not chasing trophies anymore but I certainly understand the bug

That doesn't do me any good. It's kind of a moot point, though; there's not much competition in STU in our region.

Damn very interesting. Not running a bigger front sway bar right now but I'll have to look at running the 265/285-35s then.

In STU trim the car should be able to develop more power and certainly more torque than the M3, so at the same weight with similar tires it should be a better choice?

Has anyone ran the 265-35/18 and 295-35/18 setup with the Ohlins R&T?
Any one want to chime in on the offsets they are running? Also surprised to see no one running the Brembo GTS brake setup, most discussions have always been about the Essex/AP brakes. |

265/30-19 and 295/30-19 and 265/35-18 square Always 10" ET40 at the rear and identical rims with 20mm spacer in front. Both 18" and 19". With 20mm spacer it is VERY close to the height adjustable parts on the R&T front strut. Yeah I know, I really need wider rims for 295 rears but it works. |
