Do you by any chance have a picture of them installed on a pre facelift e30? Im wondering about fender to wheel gap in the rear with a chrome bumper model.

9" would rub more if I'm picturing properly in my head.
First of all it's 5mm pushed out more because of the 15mm offset comparing to the 20mm.
Then it's an inch wider. 1inch = 26mm. So it's pushed out 13mm more on each side of the wheel width as well.

Don't know if that's correct thinking though.

Sebo has 225/40's on a 9" btw. ET11, no rub with flat rolled fendah's.

I want 225/45's on my 9"s too when they come! We'll see how that works out!

Did you happen to try the 225/45's on 9's yet or is that a plan for the distant future??

Also, your preference of spring length and rates are also available. Contact me if you need some!

See first page for how low it can go. It could go very low, you'll just be dragging exhaust and oil pan/skid plate.

How low can Megan go on e30's? I know Megan's on Lexus gs/ls goes really low...

Back to the top! Ready to ship!

That's the same thinking I had......was just hoping the extra inch of wheel might magically stretch the tire enough to prevent rubbing even with the more agressive offset. Wishful thinking most likely. Be sure to post up if you decide to try it

Thanks for all the input. I just pulled the trigger on a couple of 205/45 yokohamas for only $206 shipped form discount tire. Hopefully these will be skinny enough to miss the spring perches at the height I'm looking for. If not....6 inchers will be swapped in.

As for the rear, any thoughts on which would be less likely to rub......225/45/16's on 16x8 et20's or 225/45/16 on 16x9 et15's?

I'm currently running the first option and I get the slightest rubbing when fully compressed and the rear coils adjusted all the way down.

I'm wondering if the 16x9 option might actually be less likely to rub because it stretches the tire a little more?

oops i meant 225s on my rear not 215s..i apologize..:O

yes abby... 165 would be perfect!!! YOLO!!!!

Thanks for the pic. I could definitely handle that amount of stretch but I'm still torn between those and the 215's haha.

I think with the 6 inch springs I could probably get away with 215/45's and a decent drop. I'll post up when I figure it out

haha just think of the 215/45's as a square setup. That pic should help!
Rates matter too next to length. I have had 6" 500lbs longgggggggg time ago and that was tastefully slammed. Now knowing much, I thought 6" was fine and got like 700lbs from a friend and it was monster truckin' I had to lose the adjuster and pads to barely lose the wheel gap.

5" with an adjuster can be a 6" ;D
