so the answer is yes? it will fit?

[Mystikal]

I am looking to fit 215/40-16 azenis on 16x8 front and 16x9 rear custom steelies. The car is a late model (89 325i). It sits on ground controls right now with 400f 700r coils...what should i be looking at for backspacing?

For easiest fitment: 5.25" front, 6" rear. This equals ET19 and ET25, respectively.

For poke: 4.5" (ET0) front, 5.25" (ET6) rear. This will require a bit of fender rolling.

[Mystikal]

What's the consensus on 225/50's on 15x8 ET0 wheels?

Flares.

[Mystikal]

This is purely hypothetical for now but a 17x8.5 running 235/40 Azenis: what would be an ideal offset and how much flaring would be involved if one wasn't too low?

ET20. Nothing extreme, but expect to be painting the quarters/fenders afterwards.

[Mystikal]

so i have an e36 and i want to run 17x8.5 et 13 wheels

i have 1.3 degrees of camber in the front and 2.2 in the back.

could i run 225/40/17s on them?

i have a little bit of camber to play with as well.

my fenders in the back are rolled and pulled in the rear.

With the camber to help, 225 is possible. But the Nitto is the only tire in that size, and just about any 215 will offer more grip than that POS.

I say just go 215. I'm running 215/35 on my 18x9 ET22s, it's a lot more grip than one would expect.

[Mystikal]

What do i need to do to make these fit or are they hopless?

Alright looking at some 15" BBS Rs's.

specs: 4x100 57.1 center bore(vw) rs 189
15x7.5 et20 i think im not positive right now but i will check
and 15x8.5 et 8

What do i have to do to makes these fit my e30 325is?

Any info would be appreciated

Some stretched tires on the back, along with rolled fender lips to match. I'd go with 205/50/15 all around, or put 195/55 in the front if you want to have a more even stretch. It will look very good.

Widest tire on 16X7 Et28 Alpina with 10 and 8mm spacers at my disposal.

These would be for r compounds. hoping 225/50-16 would work.

can get around 3 degrees camber with plates [which i have]

Beast.

I know you've already done a little fenderwell massage to get those 215/50/16s on, so I say go for the 225/50. It's way too big, but you're already comfortable with beating in stuff.

[Mystikal]

I've been reading wheel/tire stuff for days. and I would just hopefully like to figure it out lol.

16x7 +15mm 205/50/16?

I have Bilsteins and H&R springs. 87 325is.

I wanted a 16x8. but I'm thinking I can deal with a 7. Purely cosmetic, not for performance.

That will fit perfectly. Nothing needed.

What tire size would be best for a 16x7 +15?

[Mystikal]

What tire size would be best for a 16x7 +15?

205/50/16 is stock diameter, and just clears the bodywork.

[Stephen]

Alright thanks.

Alernatively, would 215/40 leave alot of fender gap? ive got about 2 fingers worth, but spring pads are still in

Oh yeah, at least another finger.

[Stephen]

Bleh figured as much. on a 14x16.5 +30, i would need a 10mm spacer?

I think im starting to get a hold of this stuff :P

That's a stock basketweave. You tell me.

And you're...starting. :p
