ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread

What is the best way to go about clearancing the thing then?

Outside of rolling the egde, you're pretty limited on the late cars without real bodywork effort. What are your rear spring rates? I'd start there instead of bending metal.

Hi again,

I found some BBS wheels

16x8.5 et13

I was thinking of just redrilling, then using a spacer. What do you think is needed to properly have them fit (if possible) and best tire size.

Hi, I was wondering if this setup would work with my current set up.
Suspension is bilstein touring with h&r sport all around, slightly rolled fenders in the rear.
The wheels and tires would be Tr Motorsports C1's(offset is 20mm/Backspace 5.28") 15x8 with either 205/50/15 or 225/50/15 Dunlop direzza dz102's or bfg rivals 225. Thanks!

650lb. It was suggested to me to cut out the bump and weld/fg the hole shut...?

Hey mate

Just wondering what fitment on these would be like
16x9 ET 10 all round, should fit fine? And what rubber could i run on them? Don't want too much stretch as there are legal limits where i live, but some stretch (EG Manufacturer's specs allowed fitment for tyre) Is fine.

I'd also like to know if 16x9 ET 20 would work?

Redrilling would be the only way to get those on outside of E30 M3 hubs. No spacers, 205/45 tires, rolled rears. Flush fitment.

87- car, 225/50s will fit. 88+, 225/45 will be your functional limit.

Darn. Haven't heard of that technique, sorry.

205/45 or 215/40, but neither are within manufacturer ranges. +20 works on the rear only.

Yes, but only with 205/45 tires.

Will 205/45 x 16 tires fill the fender gap on an early vert sitting on m3 springs? Thanks

[13bpower]

17x7.5 et35 and 205/40. Will they fit?

Hey mystikal what tire setup would i need 16x8 et20 and 16x9 et15 rear on stage 3 and billy sports. What tire setup can i run without rolling my fenders?

No, there will be a small gap.

[Mystikal]

Possibly, but they would clear the front struts by mm. Would look and work better with 15-20mm spacers all around.
