I just acquired a set of e38 style 5s, which will soon be redrilled and filled. Will be running small spacers both in the front and rear and I am also 24v swapped if that makes a huge difference.
After some research, it seems like 215/45r16 is the recommended tire size to go with 16x8 et23 but I feel like 225s would be a better choice since I'm going s52 here soon (currently m52). What do you 16 inch wheel guys run? What about you swap guys? Any tire preference? Toyo Proxes R1R? BFG? Falken Azenis?
I'm looking for good grip, good treadwear, and quiet. That's probably asking for a bit much but maybe there are some tires out there that people continuously choose over others.
Again, I would like to stick with a 45 sidewall whether it be 215 or 225. I understand that I would probably have to roll the fenders which is what I am prepared to do anyways. Any advise? Input? Any help would be appreciated.
FredK already gave me a quick tip-- thanks for that by the way.
