Hahaha not a chance homeboy.

would a 205/55/15 fit or should I break down and build the wheel to 15x8 et 16?

Nicely. May need a very basic roll on the back, but don't bother doing it before trying it out. It'll just be right there with stock fenders.

I made a mistake measuring the wheels.
So officially, and now without a mistake this time...

16x8" BBS RS, et14
Going to be running Ground Control coilovers.
What's the best tire size for them?

16x6" wheel. Looking for a flush offset. What do you think? I am looking at a wheel right now with an offset of ET35+15mm hubcentric spacers.

Not even kinda close. AlpineE30M52 had to go 16 x 9 ET 8 in front to get a "flush" fitment up front.

So 16 x 6, ET -18, is that right Jay?

Easier with a 205/50/15. But still that'll be tough without pulling.

lol, nice.

195/50/16, 205/45/16, 205/50/16, 215/40/16, 215/45/16 are all pretty easy to get on there, probably without any fender rolling at all.

You should just mount two of them. Per hub.

ET-a billion sounds right. I don't think you can ever make that look good, but I can't account for taste.

BTW I was staying at the Crowne Plaza in SS and spent a whole bunch of time crawling up and down downtown SS in traffic Valentine's weekend. I genuinely like the area though.

I'm shopping lips and bolts for my BBS RS's and wondering if I go:

-15x8 et12 and 15x8.5 et06

or

-15x8.5 et06 and 15x9 et00

Here's 15x8 et12 and 9x15 et03




I need your opinion.

Bump...

My rear fenders are rolled by the way. I think it can be done cause 15x8.5 et06 is as wide as 16x9 et15 with 5mm spacers and a lots of people are running that setup. What are you thinking ?

Looking at some 16x7.5 et 20 and 16x9 et 15...do I need spacers and what size tires would be correct?

[M42Technik]

Jay should I get myself some Linglongs? The name just screams quality.

Looking for a cheap 215/40/17.

[TexasE30]

perfect tire size for 17x7? et-37, it comes with 5mm hub? 1000 migilia? I posted in another threadbut got no replies

Im gettin new rubbers tomorrow.
thanks for help :D

[Kristeun]

Sorry tried searching but this thread is too big. I have a set of 17x7.5s. Don't know the offset but the fronts are not clearing if I use one of the balanced wheels with weights. What is my cheapest solution? And I was told I need a hubcentric spacers. How are these different from regular ones, and are H&R spacers hubcentric? Also what size do you guys recommend? Thanks

It ends up being a fairly similar fitment, yes. With rolled fenders and 205/45 or 215/40 tires you should be fine.

No spacers needed. For the rear 215/40/16 is the common choice, so for a matching front you'd want 195/45/16 (which is expensive and rare) or a 205/45/16 (much easier to find).

Just, no.

Federal 595. It's seriously an excellent tire. Sets of 4 on ebay for just over 200.
