Yeah, flush for sure. And I know the dish, I've seen 'em. My 18x9 ET22 RZ's may have something to say though. ;)

hey fuck off Jay!! lol, okay yer 18x9 et22 will have 4mm more dish than me...hahahahahaha

[E30trash]

16x9.5 with 205/40's all around

Are these offsets going to work?
et-2F and et-12R

crazy poke, and stretch, and yes im tucking tire right now on a 205/40/16 :)

So i've asked a few BBS RM questions here, and i guess i have another one. What tire would you say is being run on these 15x8 RS's. I really like the look... 2"lip on the fronts and no stretch. Do these RS's have an offset very different then a 15x8 RM (et14) to pull this off, whats goin on here.. hah? Thanks in advance, Dave

Haha you crazy bastard.

You're going to have the flare the fenders out. Check out qimis' old car (David A's now). The wheels are 16x9.5 ET0 front and 16x10 ET-3 rear IIRC. His fenders had to be seriously rearranged to get that setup remotely under.

Yours is even more aggressive. If you don't want flares, plan on putting the car in a good body shop for custom metal flaring.

The tire is most likely a 205/50. The offset actually can't be much higher, as 15x8 ET14 is already within a pinky's distance from the front struts.

That is basically what an RM setup with 2" lips and 205 tires will look like on an E30.

The closest you can get them in offset-wise on the front is about ET5 (probably the absolute max). So if you combine that with say ET-5 on the rear to match them up with the fenders, then you're on to something. This is still a really really tough fitment though.

I have a 16x8 ET20 wheel and wish to lower the car on coils to have about 1/8" wheel gap and to have it as flush to the fender as possible.

Now would I have any issues with a 225/40/16 tire on the fronts? Or would I be better with a 215/40/16 tire?

No problem with the 225.

Assume cut and slightly rolled rears and rolled slightly pulled fronts, can I go 205/40 KDW2 with a 15mm spacer in the front and 25mm spacer in the rear?

Would end up ET 10 front ET 0 rear.

I'm hesistant to do a setup meant for 195/40s as there aren't many available and I have a feeling that size will die soon.
