    The rears need a 5mm, and run a 225 (if you want the Euro look and don't want serious fender work).
    I think you are confused. A 5mm spacer makes ET10, with a 16x9" rim that is going to stick a couple inches outside the fender.

      Yeah. E30s like an offset in the 25-27mm range.

      An offset of ET15 + 5mm spacer = ET10. The rim is going to stick 15-17mm further out than your average wheel, or almost an inch further than your normal wheel and tire combo.

      Understand?

        any ricer shop doesn't have longer lugs though

        some of them have various lug nuts, but noone has longer lug bolts

        and yes, i meant hubcentric ring not hubcentric spacer. but I was wondering if a spacer would be needed for either of the wheels, also

          www.discounttiredirect.com sells centering rings for many different hub bores.

            And it needs to. Do you really think a 9" wide wheel will fit in the well?

            You have a poor understanding of rim width and offset. If the rim is 7.5" wide it will fit fine with a offset of 25. If a rim is 1.5" wider, it is wider in BOTH DIRECTIONS. If the offset is not lower, the wheel and the inside of the wheel well will be trying to occupy the same spot in reality.

            The "25-27" rule only applies to 7.5" wide wheels. For example, a 7" wheel looks better with 20 (the wheel is smaller, it needs to and can be pushed out further).

              9x16´s or 9x15´s will fit with ET15,

              no need for more spacers, just can´t run wide in the front, tirewise

                what should I get up front for the 7.5" rims. will 215s fit, or will I have to go 205?

                im hoping to get 225s on the back

                  You could run 215's, but the only tire I can think of in that size (215/45/16) would be the Azenis Sport. I guess you could go with a 215/40/16 though (it'll go with the Euro look).
