    16x9 all around

    I have a 1989 325is and I'm looking at some 16x9 right now. They have a pretty low profile tire. My car doesnt have springs yet but I plan on doing some eibachs and bilstiens soon. How much will I have to roll/pull the fenders for minimal rubbing? Thanks for any imput.

      Depending on the offset of the wheels your are getting and tire size you are running. It's almost asking how much sugar to put it coffee. You wont know till you get your cup, know hoe strong the brew is and how much you're putting in. Any info on wheel and tire setup? that will half solve the issue

        The wheels are 16x9 et 15. Still not positive on the size of the tires yet though.

          215/45/16 or 215/40/16 or 205/45/16 or 205/40/16

          Figure it out.

          Tons of sites out there that show the stretch on different wheels.

          Id do a 215/40/16

                  16x9, Et15, 4x100, 57.1 bore. Any 225/45/16 tire. Even with a drop. No rub lock to lock. No poke. No fender rub. No worries.
