      HI ya it will fit. You may want to lift your e30 as thats damn near a 30 inch tire. Considering an e30 rolls stock on a 24 inch tire good luck to you.

          Ya that would help. However massive flairs and stuff. Here Ill give you an idea. Camaros and Mustangs run this as a drag race tire. IE it wont fit its to tall.

              I had that size on the back of my Dart, and it was mini tubbed. No way would they even fit on your e30. And a 8" wheel is kind of small isnt it....

                      Where? I haven't seen a big size in 15" in years in a low profile. I have some RS in 9.5 wide and would love to use them. But don't want to have a silly stretch tire so please point them out.

                        you're right, they dont make low pros for 15's, the best thing i could see to fit that tire is lift the back of the car up and bolt on some flares

                        bfgoodrich used to make a 275 50 15 but thats the lowest and widest ive seen on a 15



                        a sticky 235/245 will hold 300 hp when its warm if you dont stomp the throttle like a mad man camaros were a 245 or 255 factory and mid 90's mustangs run 225's or so

                          and guess what 16's are going that way as well. Imagine driving a 80's ecobox and looking for some 13" tires these days.

                              I do. It sucks. They make ATV tires in bigger sizes than what my car is running.
