I would like to run 255's :)

I searched here and at bf.c but can't find any threads on it.

Is it possible to fit 255's all the way around on a 16 or 17 inch wheelon an e30 with the right offset, fender rolling, and coil-overs?

You would need fairly major fender massaging in order to fit them in the front, only mild work would be needed in the rear. All depends on the tire, wheel, suspension, and camber.

for that wide just build or buy some wheel arch's and rock kodiaks like the soloracer guy, alex.

I am running 225's on a cup kit with a et 26, but my wheels are only 15 inch

What engine do you have? thats a lot of meat. Do they really need to be that wide? I would like some 255's for my s50 but even with that i will probably only run a 235. I dont know what car you have or anything but like i said, thats a lot of meat. If you have the early style rear arches then you probably could run them with a stiff suspention and if you roll the inner lip of the fender.

Jordan ran 255's on the rear of his E30 for a little bit. They were on 17x8.5 DSII wheels.

I'll be running 245's on my S50 car.

I was just interested because I'm about to purchase an e30 and swap my s50 into it and the car will be tracked.

Anyone know what offset would have to be run? And what wheels would have that offset. If there is too much fender flaring to be done, I'll just opt for 245's.

Can you point me to a link for such wheel arches?

I run 245/40's on 17x8's all-round, fits with room to spare, steering stops are needed for the front otherwise it rubs the chassis.

Anymore pics and info on this car?
