16x7.5 ET30? Tire size?

[E30_pilot]

I'm guessing I have to roll my fenders to get these on right?Or not?

what size tires can I wrap them in?

You would be wrong. I have 16x7.5 et23 w/ 225s and no fender work, so you're more than okay.

Your will need small spacers at least up front. 5mm would work.

I was going to direct you to my recent thread, but you have already wised up.

I disagree. They will just barely squeeze by.

Without spacers, absolutely not. In that offset, the rim itself will almost be rubbing the strut housing.

10mm spacer will be necessary. 5mm if you want to run a 205.

I absolutely disagree, and from experience. Others on the forum have also run this exact setup, and it's worked perfectly.

That isnt true. It will be fine, but it will look goofy

[Mystikal]

What? No it won't. It will essentially look like Euro weaves (same distance towards the outside of the car).

I'm starting to get E30Tech-like feelings of bewilderment.

I run 225/45/16 hankook rs2s (8" tread width, 8.9" section width) on 16x7.5 et20 and there is less than 10 mm of clearance between the tire and strut tower, statically. The distance can get even less dynamically.

That's from my experience. Take it for what it's worth.

You break out a ruler or are you eyeballing it?
