Running 205/55r16 Semi slicks on the front and 225/50r16 semi's on the rear.

... and much wider at the rear. 9" rims require a minimum of 235 section, while 245 is the usual.

They are not "required" :mrgreen:

There used to be 245/35/16 Toyo Proxes T1Rs on ebay. They went for $375 shipped for all four. I can't find the guy anymore, but those are the widest, best fitting tire for a 9" wheel IMO. ;)

this is who i bought mine from. $320 shipped for 4 tires.

I like your car!

[broke30]

its the silly tires. they are undersized in width and height.

I'm not too sure. I ran that size tire (except 45 front) on my old staggered type A setup and it never looked that goofy.....

For some reason those 16's look wayyyy too small on that car.... Maybe it's just me....

The usual fitment on a 16" wheel is 225.45.16 and it fits from 7.5" to 8.5" wide rims (my 16" x 8.5" Hartge rims had 225.45.16). It is true that the selection of wider tires is limited in 16".

[straight6pwr]

if you can find a 235/245 tire that will fit a 16" wheel on an e30 please share, because they pretty much dont exist. 225s is the widest. you have to step up to 17" to go wider.

I was worried they wouldn't fit. Do you think they 235 would fit with no rubbing? Hell the 215 dont have any room.

Any pics with 235/245 on 16X9?
