Can you run 17x8.5" et13 all around, 215 40 tires, with E30 M3 5-lug?

[HiSpeed]

I want to run 17x8.5" et13 all around, 215 40 tires, with E30 M3 5-lug suspension. Will it fit with rolled fenders and OE offset strut mounts?

YES!!!! I did anyway, but you'll need some major fender massaging in the rear to make it work. I did it on a 318is -- no pics. Just drove around the parking lot to see if it would work and then put the other wheels back on

Front cleared fine with J-stock springs and -2.5 camber

Sounds like someone has bbs rs 212s.....

You can, but you're going to need to roll and stretch.

Any pics of this setup?

Will it work on a late E30 with the lower rear arches?

Here is my E30 when I had Rondell 17x8.5 +13 front and rear. I have massaged and slightly pulled fenders, H&R sport springs, billies sports, and Nitto 235/40/17 tires
