What is the "perfect" 15x8?

[IronFreak]

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?

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.

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

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 ....

You are correct, i am laughing at you or at least your front tire choice. I hope you like understeer!


I really hope you meant to type another size.

how do your 15x8 +10 wheels with 225s fit like that? I tried a similar size and they do not go close to that clearance

was this just a standard rolled fenders or did you go all out on them ( getting into "pulled" category), any rubbing at full lock or with people in the back? and what tire brand/model are these?

i second the 15x8 et20. but I like a 225\45 better

Would I need to roll the fenders with this set up? Have h&r race springs on.

Why not a 225 up front, same as the back?

Edit: Did not look at the date...

anyone know where i can see a side pick of this car, and a suspension setup?

Well I ended up with a boring eibach pro kit set that really didnt drop the car much. If I go with the above set (C1's with 225/45/15), I shouldn't have to roll my fenders should I? Or should I go /50 to fill in the gap a lil more?

I would go with a 50 series. It fills the wheels nicely and it's usually cheaper option then a 45 series. You may need a slight roll, not 100% on that.
