    e30m3 five lug - 225/45/15 on 15x8 TRMotorsport wheels

    Anyone run 225/45/15 Hoosiers on 15x8 TRMotorsport wheels with the e30m3 swap set up?

    I'd like to run these on the track but wondering if the section with will be an issue. It's almost a full inch wider than my Hankook's.

    Greg was it? (luis with the black e30 s52 at RRR events with ur dad, maybe back then it was the bronzit one, i've since moved to san francisco so won't be seeing u again anytime soon...)

    anyways, i don't see why that setup wouldn't work. diameter wise is smaller than stock e30m3 205-55-15's by almost a full inch. are you worried about rubbing inside. They are wider. IIRC, my friend runs those same wheels (15x7 et25) on 225-50-15. You won't reach full lock at the track unless you're spinning out or drifting. in which case even a little rubbing on the frame will be okay.

    for reference i run e36m3 5-lug on 235-45-17. With the wheel slightly behind center relative to OE i run a 15mm spacer on 17x7 et41, so equivalent to et 26. much wider and taller than your tire and no rubbing at full lock. I'm dropped pretty far too and fenders aren't rolled. Without the spacer, i would run on the frame at full lock.
    No more e30s for me.
