    Good luck with that. There is not really any selection for e30 fitment. I went with a 255 federal which runs as wide as some 275s and they are pretty tall. I think a 245/40 is realistically the best option for our cars.

    Well I do personally think that that is a little over the top when it comes to aggressive offsets and all that. But, in the end. It is a trend and i think that car looks like a bad case of sexy time.

    The thing is unless you do a swap which maybe his is or isnt and i know my 325is isnt there is no point in 295 to 315 to accommodate a rim like that. You wont use that kinda traction on the street NEVER!

    But ccw smoothies make me smile. And this thread has given me hope to the wheels that i am trying to pick up.

    Why? Because he can, he likes the way it looks. Do I think it's over the top? Yes but, I don't give a fuck. It's his car, not yours.

    Here are my 17x10s. Et is somewhere between -3 to +3. I can't remember. I'm sure I could make them fit with a pull and 235s.

    I think with a heavy roll and some thin stretched tires, 205/40 maybe, it may work. You could always re-lip them to be 16x9 square you would be golden. You can buy lips from ccw directly. Try it, if it doesn't work sell the wheels and live and learn.

    My rear wheels are 16x9 et11 205/45/16 , at 9.5 et0 your wheels would poke ~17mm more.
    Try willtheyfit.com and rimtuck.com enter in wheel specs and see what you think

    So do I, there is no way mine would have fit in the front without a spacer.



    I also doubt they will fit on the rear without rubbing on the guard. My wheels are 20mm + offset, with an 8mm spacer in mine, it rubs under large compression with a 215/45R17 on it. So yours are going to be even further out towards the guards if you have a 0mm offset.
