any one have any pics of 17in rim vs 16in rim?

im trying to figure out what wheel is going to look better on my e30. i have 15's on it right now and ther is just to much tire. im wondering if 16 will be enough or if i really should just go with the 17's. so i was hoping so one would show me some pics to see the deferens between the two. and help would be appreciated

i think 15's can look really good depending on the drop, wheels, and tires (3 huge factors...i know)

whats your current setup?

16s for me. Like to have a tread on my tires. Looks and flows better, especially if you're car is lowered

I went with 17s on my car because it was either that or 16x9 somethings, and that's rather unforgiving to tread width choice. Looking for possible boost after my 24v swap, so I need to get something wider than 205 or 215s. Running 215s now, just because I didn't want to roll my fenders at all for 235s yet.

Considering those 15mm drop hats too btw, to hold out before coils someday in the distant future. Car also had about 200 lbs of shit in the back seat and trunk, tuckin a bit. The night I put my new ARC8s on, car is a filthy ho.

I think depending on the wheel it is between 16s and 17s are my favorite on e30's.

wishno87 i love those 16's u still got em? or u have the kopi's now?

You can get 16's with low profile tires. The fender gap's not too bad and it lowers your car more. These wheels I bought came with them; can't decide if I want to go back to stock diameter.

ok wow that really helped. i have decided i like the 16's better then the 17's. i hope this was helpful for others too.

Still have both. The 16s are on my winter beater right now though. Might get sold to Matt-B soon.
