Replaced a valve stem in a wheel and stripped a bolt on my exhaust. That's been the only problems this year.

Nice to see you are having to do as much maintenance as me .That's one of the things i love about this car. Puts down amazing lap times and the maintenance is minimum compared to what the guys I'm beating at the track have to do on their 500WHP Evo's.

You had some wider fenders made? Those seem like wider than stock tires.

original rear wheels and tires are now are up front. 17" 275's on the back now. we had custom fenders made. PDXmac now has the molds and making fiberglass ones to order. The fenders should fit up to a 305 tire.

Thanks for the link. Very nice set up. What wheel specs are you running at the rear 17X? width and what offset? Are they 4-100 ort did you replaced the hubs?

Team Dynamics -1.2, 17x9 - offset 23, 4x100 bolt pattern and 56.1mm Center Bore

I use a 5 mm spacer so they fit under the fenders a little more evenly.

The fenders are raised up to fit the 17 in wheel with a home made spacer

Great info buddy. Those wider tires should gain me a few tenths at the track. I assume you moved the rear fenders to the front when you installed the wider rear ones? Do you know a good source for the rear wheels? I think I'm going this route.

BimmerWorld > Race Proven BMW Performance Parts and OEM Parts is a team dynamics dealer. but these always take a custom order from the factory and 6 week lead time.

My front fenders are the same. I needed a 5 mm spacer on the front to fit the wheels over the Alcon calipers. The original front and rear fenders are the exact same size. They are very close to the tires though so you need to check for clearance if you do this.

I will try this. Thanks for all the info. I can see that after all this years you are still a huge asset to this community.

Stock front and rear fenders are the same radius (Brammo)

While on the subject of tires, does anybody may a nice F1 hydraulic style lift for the Atom for changing tires, or a pivot style lift?

I have this one:

works great for the rear of the car. but not really any place to put it on the front so it does not see much use
