    First, remember they are 245/35, very low aspect. The new wheels will only sit out 3/4" farther than my current wheels and there is room for that. My fenders are already rolled flat and pulled around 1/2". They will fit, even if I need to pull them a bit more. Once these tires are done i'll be putting some real rain tires on in a 225 width which will fit even better. I'll throw some pics up when they are mounted up.

      I'm running these with 205/45 with rolled and pulled fenders slammed. I rub slightly in the front and rear. (Front at full lock, rears on the upper quarter panel.(inside tub) ) pictures of my car are in the flush/stance thread.

          205 on a 8.25" wheel? Post a couple pics here if you don't mind. The slammed w/crazy stretch isn't really my style but would still like to see. Your running 16" 527s?

          Toad: def throw some pics up when you get them. What tire specs are you going to be running?

                  Looks great, nice fitment. Where did you get the flairs? Im surprised how much taller the 245/45 are versus my 245/35.

                    I got them from dtmfiberwerkz.com its the rivet on style. They fit pretty good no modifying needed its not a show car finish, but thats not what im going for.

                        These look awesome. I bought the gold set, their sitting at the wheel shop waiting for me to bring the tires up, but this weather is preventing me from bringing the e30 home from storage...

                          R888's are generally wider than regular tires.

                            They look huge. Im interested to see if/how much additional fender pulling im going to need to for these wheels.

                              Depending on how low you are and how wide your tires are, I had to do about a half inch pull all around.
