No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

If I went down to a 205/45/17 I think I'd be happier, and that's what I'd recommend. Welcome to input, however.

why would you run ET15 out back? is the car at stock height? I don't see how that doesn't rub with a 7.5" wheel and a 225 tire.2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison

yeah, I don't believe that it doesn't rub constantly with unrolled fenders. My 225/50 R888s will even rub a little on the inside of the fender with a 7.5" wheel and ET35 offset, there's barely enough room to slide a paperclip between the tire and the fender lip. 20mm is like 3/4", the tire would be sticking out past the flare.
the 235/50s were even worse, they rubbed everytime I went over a small bump or had people in the back, what he's talking about would be significantly worse.

E46 wheels (ET47)
iX stock offset of 41mm?
20/25 spacers, brings me to ET27 in front, and ET22 in back. My apologies.

The iX front struts are different, so the offsets of wheels that work with iX front struts are different than what works on RWD front struts.
What I've heard is up to 8" wide, ~20 mm offset and 225, *maybe* 235 tires can fit all the way around. The fronts get close to the strut and the rears get close to the fender lips.
I'm not sure if going with different front/rear offsets will allow enough more wheel/tire width to make the split worthwhile or not.

you won't fit a 225 on an 8" wheel with an ET20 offset. it's more like ET30. 8" ET20 is a RWD fitment. you'd be hard pressed to fit a 205 without massive camber and tweaked fenders or a donk stance.
235s fit on my 7.5 ET36 wheels using a 3mm spacer up front to clear the struts. But, the car drives better on 225s.
different offsets aren't really necessary.Last edited by nando; 07-17-2014, 12:08 PM.
