I've been offered these wheels in a trade - and the only thing keeping me away is the fitment. With rolled fenders, would I able able to fit these comfortably on a GC setup without lots of stretch on the tires? The pictures of the silver e30 seem a bit too stretched in the back for my liking.

Jay...

BBS RS211 (16x8 ET11) onto an E30 with E36 suspension. How massive will those fenders have to be? :(

About 1.5" more massive than stock. I wouldn't even bother.

I'm looking for some cheap ass tires for my bottlecaps

Tirerack has a sale on BFG Traction T/A H's for $39.00 a piece so shipped is 192.00 in 195/65 14

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=Traction+T%2FA+H&vehicleSearch=true&partnum=965HR4TTA&fromCompare1=yes&place=0&speed_rating=H&speed_rating=V&speed_rating=Z&speed_rating=W&speed_rating=Y&speed_rating=(Y)&minSpeedRating=H

These pretty nice tire for a DD/fun car?

I've recommended the Traction T/A numerous times. They handle very very well for an all-season (stiffer sidewalls than even my favourite, the ZE-912), and also last FOREVER. And I mean forever. They are absolutely terrible in winter conditions though.

I need the recomended offset for 17x10 at rear and 17x8 at front, tire size would be nice to, i prefer a little stretch.
I'm lookin for a perfect stance.

Perfect is completely subjective.

But, I'd recommend ET13 front with 205/40/17 tires, and ET20 rear with 225/35/17 tires. You'll be rolling the rear fenders fairly heavily, shouldn't require bodywork though.

[Mystikal]

My factory bottlecaps have an et35 offset stamped right on the wheel, so double check your stats in the first post.

You're right, that was a typo. Fixing it.

i have traction T/As in 205s..they are awesome DD tires

last long, quiet and grippy on the dry


mystikal, think that my adapters and porchse wheesl will work out?

oh and i HATE stretch..i like nice square looking tires that will adsorb the shitty roads here in jersey

[Mystikal]

These wont fit will they
wed sport ma86 15x8.5 et-10 OR 15x7.5 et-3

Not a chance. AE86's have VERY different hub geometry from our cars, what is a good flush fitment on them witll be 1" outside of our fenders.

So unless you have flares, no.

For the ET52 16x6s, you'd want at least 20mm to clear the suspension, and you can basically go all the way up to 50mm to get flush fitment.

Same logic with the ET65, just add 13mm to what I said. The preferred route is to get the wider rear wheels (like 16x8 ) and space those out with stretched tires. I've helped a few guys on here do this with their cars.

Oh no, you'll 100% have to run extremely stretched tires with that setup. Once you go past 8" wide on an E30 without extensive fender work, you're stretching tires on.

Yeah I read that after I replied.

You can easily just run 195/55/16 or 195/50/16 on the 16x6 Porsche wheels for an anti-stretch look. Or just get the 16x8s and you can run a 225/45/16, with the right final offset.

Easy enough.

ET55 wheels on the front with 30mm adapters.
ET65 wheels on the rear with 45mm adapters.

Final setup:
16x7 ET25 front
16x7 ET20 rear
205/50/16 tires all around.

It'll look good.
