Hey I'm fairly to fitting wheels I've had my e30 for about a year now and I want to get a nice set I have an '87 325, suspension setup in the front is ground control adjusters with eibach springs and chopped ix housings, in the front I wanna fit an 16x8.5 wheel with a 195/45 and for the back a 16x9 with a 205/40 so I'm trying to go for a little bit of stretch but not much, now all I really need to see how much rolling/pulling fenders will be needed et back spacing and spacers I'll need. Thanks for any help you can give me

Borbet type a (16x9 et15) will fit in the rear with a roll no spacer needed. But up front you need a 3-5mm spacer to clear the strut. What's the offset of your wheels? And if your rolling the fenders, why not just roll them as flat as possible if your doing it anyway. Unless the offset is super low, no pulling will be needed.
Btw 205/40 on 16x9 is quite a bit of stretch, my buddy's running this and the whole lip of the wheel is pokin out on both sides. -
I don't have any wheels yet, I just wanted to get an idea of what spacing/Rolling will be needed to fit them, thinking of modernlines though
