    Will this fit under my e30?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    205/40/17 with wheels at an offset of +35. My car is dropped a bit. I wanna make sure these will fit.

    Thanks! :D

      What size are the wheels?

          ^ I'm hoping 17s since that is what the tires are.

              Well the width of the wheel can be a factor too.

                      seems like they would fit regardless of width. I used to run 215/45r17 with the same offset, needs spacers to look proper though!

                          Wheel width can come into play, but typically for just tire fitment you only need the offset and tire specs as given. This is all assuming you know the wheels do fit since that wasn't included in the OP.

                              Wheels are 17 inch. Why would it be anything else? Is that for tire stretching? (lame)

                              So I guess the wheels will fit? Maybe? Eh?

                                  Ya they most likely will.

                                      He asked the WIDTH of the wheel. If it's an 8+ inch wide wheel, it could change things.

                                              with a 35 offset chances are you'll need spacers (15 mm) Good luck...

                                              What did the e30 owner say to the other e30 owner? LOOKING GOOD!

                                                  Winner! Technically the wheels on my car right now have a +30 offset so we will see how they fit. It seems like they will not clear the suspension.

                                                  More on this later. Anyone want to let go of some spacers? :D

                                                      offset doesn't mean a thing without knowing the width of the wheel.

                                                          OMG! We still don't know the width??!!??!??

                                                          If they are 17x7 they'll fit fine. 17x7.5 might need a 10mm spacer, 17x8 would need a 15mm spacer.

                                                          like ledjetta said, offset is meaningless without width specs.
