What is the "perfect" 15x8?

[barnvert]

Lol u guys are going to laugh at me. I genuinely joined this forum because of this thread. I was looking up wheel tire combos on e30s that have the same combo that are in the mail. With that being said I will b running a 15x8 +10 with 165/45r15s and 15x9 +10 225/45r15s on the back ....

Just to throw some more persecutive in here... 15x8 +5 with 225/45

The fenders on that car have been rolled. By the looks of it, the front have been rolled and pulled.

Thanks, I assumed that much. I had gotten the impression that wouldn't be enough.

So I've read a lot of posts in this thread and I gather that 15x7+17 up front and 15x8+17 in back would require pretty narrow tires (~205) and/or fender rolling. Based on the picture above, however, it looks like they should fit fine with 225s.

My car is not as low as the one pictured above and it has high (early) rear fenders. Do you think I will have an issue?

What tires are those? that's the size I'd like to run but R888 and A048 are only decent options I've seen, but I'd like something more street oriented...

In that picture, I had Yokohama ES100s 225-50/5 rear and bald Ventus rs2 195-50/15 front... Switching to a square 205 setup with Dunlop star specs this season I think.

Looks nice, but staggered tires are a PITA

I'm running 225/50-15 rears on team dynamics pro race 1.3... 15x7 et25 i believe lowered on IE3s and I've had no rubbing issues

Thinking of going to 225/45s so I can get some RS3s-- I guess the speedometer isn't that bad just 4% fast...

Not the greatest picture

That is what you need. Also a heat gun to help prevent your paint from cracking.

Man that's awesome, what suspension are you running? How do you roll fenders?

[IronFreak]

Fenders aren't an issue. See my thread.

No intention of jacking this thread OP.

Where can I source a 245 aspect ratio 15" tire? I'm having a hard time nailing one down

245? That may be a tight fit
