What is the best offset for running a 245+ on a 9" wheel? Options only seem to be -15 and -20, and the occasional (obviously less conducive) 0 offset.

[dmoney(AB)]

If we could get wheels specs and offsets in there too that would probably help out others.

Hell even suspension setup too.

I'm currently running 245/35r17 on my 17x9 et23 team dynamics 1.2
I'm upgrading to 275/40 et streets for traction
I am going to use ka motors flares though.

Thanks!

265s rub. It's a tight fit.

The sad part is I bought the last pair of 245/35 17s in the US last year, and noone makes a street tire in the size any more.:(

I have no idea what I'm going to do next time...

[AWDBOB]

Mark, looks good! I'd say some 265s would suit her nicely ;)

And do tell about the 275s dmoney!

I have some 275/40 to fit on mine in the next couple months

Bump because I want to see what people have done to fit 275+ tires on e30s.

[AWDBOB]

After some extensive searching, I can't seem to find much at all about fitting a fat tire on an E30.

Someone made one a long time ago, and it was evident that people mistook a 10" wheel with a 195 tire as wide...

Minimum tire width: 235

Please include offset, tire specs, and fender work.
