ok thanks for the info..yeah it's for a rim that's 16x8..would be close.

Usually, the largest for that size is a 7.5, it will go on but will be stretched a bit.

No, the 215 tire is a half inch taller and not as wide.

215/50/16
Dia 24.5"
Wid 8.5"

225/45/16
Dia 24"
Wid 8.9"

It may work but Im not sure.

Would the thickness be the same for these 2 sizes?
215/50/16
225/45/16

I’m asking because 215/50/16 seems a lot easier to find.

[spyder918]

Thanks guys for the feedback..yeah most brands don't even make them this size anymore.

Depends on the kind of tire you want. If you can go summer tires use the ones above, I have them and love them.

Here is a cheap version if you don't want to spend that money. Unfortunately, there are only like 3 tires in that size.

I also have 225/45/16 Dunlop Direzza IIIs on my car and also love them. Have done 7 HPDEs days, numerous Autocrosses and 3 trips from DC to the Vintage on them and still have life left in them.

Anyone know where to get decent tires in this size? 225/45/16
Didn’t know this size was so hard to find.

Evening, got a few questions in regards of set up.
91 e30
Wheels are 17x 8.5 et30 17x9 et35. 3pc wheels
Can change the facing to help with offset by 5mm if that helps in any way.

1) what size tires would fit?

2) can these wheels fit in the e30? Would the 4x100 to 5x120 adapters work with the 20mm?

Thank you in advance

15x7.5 et0 had 205/55s on it, partial roll, lips are at like a 45° angle. took tiny slivers from the sidewall but wore the tread out before getting sketchy. If I roll the rest of the way would 205/65s fit?

Rota R20

Will Rota R20s fit an e30? Looking for some new wheels for my ETA

Alpina Style

Made for the 1967-1976 BMW 2002 Model (Chassis e10).

Specs 15X6., 4X100, et+29mm, 57.1mm Hub Bore

A friend of mine is looking to sell his Work CR-01's. Any chance these will fit an '89 with GC/Koni coilovers, and if so what tire sizes am I looking at?

15x8 +10
15x9 +20

Sweet offsets. I'd go 205/50 front 225/45 rear.

Only took me 3 years to buy the wheels and test fit them :D. Had to use a 3mm spacer up front to clear the stock calipers, these Works have a very flat disk.

Will these Artec's fit on my '88ix?



Thinking this might be as close to German aftermarket direct fitment for an ix? I might find?

Specs. 88ix with Blistein/ HR sport so lowered just a tad.
15x7 4x100 cb 57.1 et38

Artec made in Germany unknown year.

Hi,
I've purchased a set of Enkei 92's in 15x8 +25. Does anyone know if 225/50 tires will fit up front without rubbing? I believe I'm on H&R sport springs, so it is slightly lower than stock. I also have a 5mm spacer ready for some extra clearance for the front wheels.
Cheers

225/45-15 Toyo r1r on enkei 92s with 5mm spacer up front. On air ride now but rode this setup on ie3(h&r race equivalent) and drop hats, only time I rubbed was when I was full lock turning into a steep driveway. Otherwise no rubbing.
