Tire question for 15x7 15x8 set up

[DELPHINtimecapsule]

Hi,
Just purchased wheels on ebay that come wrapped in new tires. I've always ran a square setup of 15x7 with 205's but this is what I will be looking to run on my e30
Front - BBS RS070 15x7 195/50/15 hankook evo
Rear - BBS RS002 15x8 205/50/15 hankook evo


Sound safe or too stretched?
Thanks for input.

Borderline square/stretched and/or small, but nobody's going to die.
No issue, but I would get something wider.

Sell the tires to someone with a Honda, as it would look better on their car if lowered.

Thanks. Kinda what I thought, might just sell them like you said. Ideally I'd run 205/225, yes?

yes, but it is your sidewall size that is too small, really.

What do you suggest?

I haven't ever run 15's before, but I would assume sidewall ratio's of 55 or 60. People with 16's generally run a 50 ratio

I was thinking of 60 since it's availible and I like more meat for LA potholes
Thanks

205/55/15 front and 225/50/15 rear would be ideal and maintain correct overall diameter.

Would I have any rubbing issues? I would love this setup but not sure if I would have to roll the fenders. Would love to hear your opinion. The front et16. The rear are et12.
Suspension is e30 m3 springs with blistein sport

I'm running 225/50/15's all around and have my fenders rolled plus camber plates up front. Only issue i presently have is rubbing at full steering lock. I'd probably just roll yours for the assurance regardless.

Guess I'll contact that Tony guy who does a professional job and get the fenders rolled.
