OFFICIAL: Wide Tire Thread

[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.

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

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

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

And do tell about the 275s dmoney!

[DRTSRFR]

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...

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.

Running 245/40/17 front and 255 rear.

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

Hell even suspension setup too.

[AWDBOB]

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.

You could give me the wheels and I can deal with that problem for you eh... ehhhh??

^ What are you doing in this thread, lambo? Are you lost?

[AWDBOB]

Eyyo Tacoman, what's the offset, wheel width, and sidewall height of your rear setup.

[nando]

I run 225s now but these were fun. 235/50R15 on 949 6uL 15x7.5, ET35 I think. 3mm spacer up front, trimmed flares/fender roll out back.



measuring the actual tire they were more like 245-250mm wide. no love for 195s over a 10" wheel here..
