225/45, all ive done is fold the inner of the fender up and it gets a tiny little scrub every now and then

So nice to see somebody running a beefy tire on a 16x9!

Agreed. Makes me wish i had gone with a 225/45 instead of a 215/45. Im running 16x9 as well et9 though. I guess we'll see...

[Mystikal]

Hi guys. Don't hate my non-E30, I just wanted to prove that the guy spitting out fitment answers 24/7 actually runs something decent.



17x9.5 +15 205/45
17x11 -9 245/40

:D

Nice mystikal, always wondered what you ran since you typically give safe advice!

Looks good man!

[Pl3wA]

typically give safe advice!

typically

did someone die because of his advice?

[Npulver]

Lol, you took my comment wrong, I know why he gives safe advice, just most people that give safe advice don't push things to the limit.

Looking to drop my 318is and get new wheels and tires.

I'm brand new to the site as a member but I've been lurking for years.
So I have a very clean '91 318is. Currently it is almost completely stock. I did a z3 short shifter and a Mark D Chip. I've been enjoying the totally stock look for almost 3 years now but by this fall I am planning on changing it all up. I'm looking for advice. I know I have a 4 cylinder car so I'm not looking to win any races. I don't plan on auto x'ing. I do love downshifting and hitting corners hard though. I like the flush look and I want to be stanced but I don't like the super low look. I live in San Diego so the roads are pretty good and my commute is about 10 mins a day. Here are my questions:
H&R Race or Sport?
Are there more complications driving Hellaflush vs Flush?
Is it more expensive to make the car Hellaflush?
I am pretty set on getting Borbet Type A's. I love the classic look.
Will the Borbets ride flush?
Is it better to get a low offset for flush look?
With the 4 cylinder 318is is it better to stick with 15" wheels or can I push 16's?
My paint is in pretty good shape but it's starting to fail in a few places. I will likely get it repainted too. I'm thinking I should wait until the wheels and suspension are done. Is that the right call?
If I'm way off on any of these things let me know!
thanks!
