    Will 10" wide wheels poke on an e30?

    17 x 10 et 15 (ESM BBS reps)


    Will these wheels poke on the rear of a non lowered E30? It seems like on lowered cars the added camber helps to kinda tuck the top of the wheel in. Also would be mounting on a 40 series tires with no stretch. On the lowered e30 in this thread they look great

    ( http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...=194274&page=5 ).

    I'm just wondering how they would look with slightly wider tires on a stock ride height
    I want a nice set of smoked MHW's (I know, get it line)

                    ^These are the ones I want but I can't be screwing around with tire stretch and lowering my daily driver in Chicago.

                              For the budget and daily project cars, a drop should always come before your wheels.

                              And yes, as stated, it would be dumb.
