That's a stock basketweave. You tell me.

And you're...starting. :p

Well the wheel isn't a stock weave, but same size. i guess i just assumed weaves were +20?


Edit: oh yeah they are +30. Well cool then.

Yup, they'll fit. 215/40/17 tires are the safe bet.

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.

ET-6? Nope.

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.

Winter tires

Another quick question.

I have 195 65 R14 winter tires on now. Could I put 195 60 R14 tires on? What difference would it make?

Thanks, Matt

[Borat]

they will fit fine, as above speedo will read slightly fast

[cbouchez]

ok,

maybe you guys know. I'm just about ready to put my winter tires back on. I boght them about 5 years ago when I had my GLI.

Any one know what type of wheels these are?

specs 4x100
BMW (RONAL )

I know they are pretty bad looking but that is why I like them!

Just a slightly high reading speedo, and some more fender gap. Nothing else worth noting.

With around 1cm to spare, yeah. No problem at all.
