    16x8 ET25

    Have a set of 16x8 ET25 and considering using 205/50/16 tires on a lowered E30 325is 2"-3".

    Does it requires any fender rolling, spacers etc? Post pic if you have this set up.

    You will have to roll the rear for sure. I've been told if you run 205/45/16 it won't rub. Mine only rub over big bumps.

      My car being 5 lug I had to do this when I ran 16x8 and 205/50. You will have to roll them . Not a big deal. I switched to a 205/45 and I no Longer rub .


      If your not 5 lug you might not have to roll as much . Being 5 lug changed the final offset to around ET10 .

      If your going to lower it that much I reccomend a 205/45 instead.

        I'm not five lug and I'm running an identical setup, he will rub hitting any big bumps or if he has rear passengers.

          16x8 et25 is going to look sunk in on a low e30. 16x8 et10 to et0 would be better. At that point, 205/45 would be a better size.

          Here's my car on 16x8 et5 front, et3 rear on 205/45's

              I haven't bought the tires as yet so I'm going to go with the 205/45/16 because I'm not planning on rolling the fenders.

              Thanks for the info.

                    I already have the rims so if they are to sunk in I'll probably have to get some spacers to push them out a little.

                    Nice ride!!!!

                      I had to use spacers in the front but that's it

                              How much rolling did you have to do?
