225/45 on 16x8 pics

[GThomas]

Hey guys, I've searched a bunch but was hoping someone had a few pics on our cars how 225/45's look on 16x8s, 225/50's also if anyone has them.

Thanks, much appreciated.

225/50s are a pain

Nice, et 23 right? What are your thoughts on that size, rubbing etc, would you have went a different route?

Thanks and yes et23. Since I went the 318ti, e36m3 route for converting, the style 5's poke more than I would like. e30m3 parts would make for a better fit. I have adjustable fucking everything ie rear subframe has been modified and camber plates up front sitting on AST 4100's. So I can "make" them work but e41 would allow for a proper stance and by that I mean no rake and maximum lower center of gravity, not hey look at low my car is shit. DS2's will be what I go with next or 3 piece style 5's in et 41.Th best part about this route are the larger brakes. Matches well with the s52.

looks good dude, are you running spacers?

Nope, need them further in board not further out board

yes, full lock up front and hard acceleration at rear

Well I plan on staying 4 lug for the time being and I've been thinking about getting a set of componotive th's 16x8 et 25, with a meatier tire. I've got camber plates and gc's, just trying to find a decent size tire so I don't compromise the oil pan with these shit roads. I have 16x9 esms on 215/40s now but to look right I have to be too low. I'd rather have some more rubber and feel a little safer driving a bit higher.

Never thought about running a bumper with no valance for my turbo car. Might do that for track days. Good stuff. Nice car
