    Ok then, I think that solves it for me then. Probably stick with 16x8 et25 and run 225/45 all the way around, with a fender roll only

    Fronts poke out a teeny bit because I have spacers to clear the coilovers.

    My fronts have a stretch on them btw 205/45

    And my wheels were turned so that's why they look like they poke out a lot

    I'd like to run 16x9 but the poke and stretch tire kills me.

    225/45 in a 16x9 wheel in the rear.

    They are just rolled flat, not pulled.




    Crappy pics, but you get an idea. Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Sorry to bother, but any photo's of the front? It seems like it pokes out just a little bit and im assuming thats fron the rim being a 9 right?

    225/45 will be pretty square and look perfect. No pulling required just a flat roll.

    I'll post pics of mine in a little..
    What's the offset on your setup?

    245/45/16

    245mm / 45% height of the first number (245mm) / 16" wheel.

    45% of 245mm is taller than 45% of 225mm.

    Thanks again for all the help!!! I just want to make sure I have somewhat of enough tire to get the e30 moving when the cammed s52 gets put in.

    Here are my 16x7.5's with 225/45 These are at et30 I think. My lips are not rolled and if I went any wider on the offset I would definitely need to roll'em.

    I ran 225s on a 7.5 inch rim before, offset was et20 with a 10mm spacer. Had a light pull and roll for the rear and would still rub when I accelerated hard.
    I could live with that bit of rubbin but, I know alot of other people are annoyed by that.

    Hopefully that helps you for your tire selection, good luck.
