I was not aware of that...thanks man. I just took the red car on a work trip and my odo showed ~1050 miles, while the actual distance (according to Google maps) was about 950. This is on the stock size 255/35r18.You have 245/40r18 square fyi. I remember looking at your fitment when I was trying to decide if that tire was too tall. 245/45 would be way too big on an e46.

PM me if you want more info so I don't forget. I thought there was a thread for it but I have to look. If not I can send you what I have in my notes.

I have 18x8.5 245/35 square. To me, one doesn't really need stagger, as that promotes understeer.

Just for fun, this is a pic of my spare tire 245 45 18 on the front.
Compare with the factory size 225 40 R18.
