    255 / 40R 17 square

    1987 e30 H&R race springs / Bilsteins / rolled fenders / liners removed / 17x8" Apex arc8 flat face wheel
    In reading up it looks like 255 fits the rears with a 17" wheel, what size spacer would be required to run them up front? Or can I make 245 work square with no spacer up front?
    I'm looking at the BFGoodrich Rival S 1.5 tire.
    Thank you

        These are 16x7 ET25, tires are 195 45 16. Are they sitting back or ok?

                  Two questions. Both dealing with a '91 vert with bav auto springs and bilsteins.

                  Will RWD 14inch weaves with 20mm spacers all around be overkill?

                  Also what would be an appropriate tire for 16x8.5 with +15 without rolling fenders?

                    Looking at getting TRM C1s in 15x8 with 20mm offset

                    Trying to fit 245/40/15s all the way around, is this possible?

                    I have a 1988 325i with a Ford 347 stroker that I'm trying to keep from spinning everywhere.

                      I'm close to pulling the trigger on some Gotti 1001's but they're overseas and overpriced. I'd like to be reassured these will fit before I pull the trigger.

                      Specs:
                      Gotti 1001
                      16x8.5
                      5x120
                      et 21

                      Thoughts:
                      4x100->5x120 adapters 18f, 20r

                      Car:
                      88 e30
                      Rolled, not pulled
                      Rx7 calipers in the front

                      Thank you!

                              This weekend I have fitted 215/45/17 tires on 17x8.5 et25 with a 5mm spacer on the front with
                              H&R sport springs.
                              The rear is 215/45/17 tires on 17x8.5 et25 with a 3mm spacer and H&R sport springs.

                              Not rolled fender.

                              Hope this info help some of you.

                                1989 BMW 325i Wheel Fitment

                                I have a 1989 BMW 325i with CATuned coil overs. The rims I have are 16x8 with +25 offset. I know I have to at least run a 3mm spacer or they just skim the brake caliper. I have 3, 5, and 10mm spacers to use. My question is what size of tire would work with this setup? I have all new plastic in the front of the wheel well for the brake ducting to make it all nice and clean in the front so I would not prefer to trim it. I have test fitted the rims with all the different spacers and I am quite concerned that I have made a bad rim choice but yet I see lots of others out there who have made this work. I have also heard opinions that the 16x8 with a +15 offset is the perfect rim size for the E30, hence the reason I have 10mm spacers as well. I am not going for stretched tires on this build, I want to have a more performance tire on there with a tread wear of about 200, 100 would be too soft for daily driving but also don't want rubber bands. I don't mind rolling the fenders so long as it is just the inside lip as I want to keep the body lines stock, but finding someone in Edmonton to roll them with a fender roller might be tough. Any thoughts on this would be helpful.


                                Thank you.
