Style 5 fitment general Q's

[London]

Would 205/50/16 be stretched?

[Zasz]

Are you in SD now?

205 will be slightly stretched, perfect look for these wheels. for me, 205 is perfect otherwise i would eat up the tires with my fenders.

[London]

Ok cool. And yeah Z i am. You gonna go to the picnic thing sunday?

[Zasz]

I have work from 11-8, so probably not. I'll try to drop off beverages around 10, as promised.

1. Get the tires ethrtyIS recommended.
2. Mount the wheels on the car and analyze (measure the gap/clearance) how much further out you want to bring them.
3. Buy spacers accordingly.

If you are on a budget, I recommend Ichiba Spacers off of ebay, they are hubcentric, perfect fit and machined aluminum. Get extended lugs from EASmotorsports. $2.50 a Lug. Call them if you are not sure of what size lugs you need, they will assist.

If you got a fat wallet, just get H&R spacer kit that comes with the right size lugs.

Oh, let me school you on tire sizes.

For instance, In size 205/50/16:
205mm= Width of the tire
50mm= Profile size (side wall. Higher the number, taller the wall and equally opposite for lower number)
16inch = Wheel diameter

Ya anytime bro. PM me if you have any other concerns. Always glad to help.

facts:

205/50 will not stretch; It will be a square setup.
You WILL need to roll REAR fenders if you are on H&R Race springs, with that tire size.
20mm rear spacer will not work since Race springs are low in the rear, with that tire size.

Really? My back end doesnt look that low at all. I've got an early model, so I dont know if those rear fenders make a difference here. But it doesnt look like it needs rolling. Even with these wheels… Guess I'll figure that out eventually

[Blackout]

Early quarter panels have higher arches so you may be able to get away without rolling them.

I have a question. I can get a set of E38 Style 5's for 175 locally. I am not finding anyone Locally that will redrill. I would like to swap to a 5 lug but that is not in the picture right now.
Can you use these with adapters like e30Rob makes? Anyone have pics with these on the car with a 20MM adapter?
I am not a fan of adapters but if you have to use a spacer anyway I might as well look at an adapter.

Thanks
Phillip

you can run adapters. order some 18mm/20mm and be ready to roll and pull fenders.
