Running 225/45/16 with 9J wheels square

[Jozi]

Is it possible to run 225/45's on a 16x9 et15 on all 4 corners? What kind of arch work is needed?

I have 225/40's on 2 wheels and 215/40 on the other 2 but I think their undersized if compared with a 15" BBS. I'm working with a shell that needs a respray anyway so arch work isn't really a problem as long as I can do it myself (have a arch roller handy, just not sure how to use it).

I'm also hopping to dial out as much camber as I can with adjust able top mounts and camber plates on the rear beam. I'd like to at least be able to get them close to original spec at a low enough ride height.

I might also need a 10mm spacer up front because my coilover (bc's) foul the 225/40 tires OR shorter springs or a narrower wheel up front which is also possible if I could afford to refurb 2 wheels.

I am currently running 16x9 et15, 4x100 Schmidt Modernline Revolutions wrapped in Nexen tires on all four corners. No rub lock to lock. No fender roll. No problems. IMHO, 16's are the right tire for the E30. Just the right amount of rubber on the road. Not too wide, not to tall, no bulge and for my taste, the stance looks perfect. I am planning on a GC suspension, so I will have a better idea of the set up with a drop. I will leave my spring pads in place.

I am looking for a DD. I plan on running 16X8, et20 on all four corners. Same tire. The only drawback is that the tire size is getting harder to find.

Be blessed...............................G.

P.S. I forgot to mention the car is on the stock suspension. My bad............Cheers.

What tires are you running though? I'll be going low which is where the problem lies
