Quick question guys, I'm running throwing stars rims on my 1991 E30 4dr, they're 16x7.5 ET20. Currently I'm using 205/50 front and 215/50 rear (which are too big).
I'm thinking of going down to 205/45 front+rear for the next change, but I'm not sure if that's too low profile? 205/50 looks abit fat to me and I thought 205/45 might fit better, but I also wanna keep my speedo accurate. Some say 205/45, and some say 205/50, so I'm not sure now.
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.
Could i get away with 15x8's all around with 4.25" of back spacing?

205/50/16 is the stock diameter. Even with that your speedometer reads high, so going smaller will only make it worse.
205/45/16 is still entirely acceptable though, as long as you know the dial is going to be like 8% high.

Meaning it will show 108 kmh when I'm really only doing 100kmh? Ok noted. :)
Reason I want 205/45 is because I don't like the thick look on the 205/50, + my car is lowered on H&Rs and the 205/50s get pretty close to the inner wall on full lock.
