New 17x8 Axis Ogs what tires?

[Staszek]

Ok here is my question. I bought rims that are 17x8 with a 35 offset square 5x120. Here is the issue, I am putting on the five lug setup designed by rogengineer and the front puts E36 hubs which adds about 12mm to the front track, which basically puts me at a 22 offset if i did my math right.

With these wheels and offsets what size tires can I run, wider the better. Also what spacers should I use in the rear, (the rear will have an E30 M3 lug setup), 15mm? Should I put spacers in the front? I don't like the stretched look, I plan on lowering slightly with H&R sports. Since I'm putting in an S54 I would like as wide as I can in the back on an 8".

Oh the car is a 1991 325is

Pic of the rim. Eventually I will probably buy LMs but for now I just need something for the 5 Lug. The pic is 4 lug bought I bought the 5 lug version

It sounds like 235/40/17 would be an ideal size for your needs. It will require some fender rolling front and rear but it'll work. You should be good with no spacers in the front on that setup and possibly 15mm spacers in the rear to even things out.

Awesome thank you!

Btw how wide could I go on the rear, I am assuming 235 may be it on an 8" rim width.

My buddy runs RC090 on his 5-lug with Ti rear setup. Those are et20. Not sure what the offset difference between the e30m3 and Ti is though. He runs 235, rolled fenders, don't expect super low, especially with a late model. Infact you'll probably need a heavy roll, his is a early model.

He gets into the 235 fitment details on page three.

I have also seen this car in person and it's a very very tight fit
