If you get them, plan on rolling your fenders heavily and running 195 or 205 tires.

Originally posted by BadCab View PostI've had a set of RM's since the early 90's that were on my MK2 Scirroco that i would like to re-ring and refinish. I have a 92 318i vert and plan on running on some HR races and Billies Since i love the staggered look , the ideal plan for me is 1" rings on the front and 1.5" rings in the back bringing them to around F 15x7 ET26, R 15x7.5 ET20. I would like to run F 205/50-15 , R 225/50-15. Will the rears rub with a little bit of rolling? How about alot of rolling?
Option 2 is 1" lips for 15x7 ET26 all 4 corners and either 225/50/15 all around or F 205/50-15, R 225/50-15. With 225's all around , any issues up front?
Thanks
Glen
Option 2: No rolling, no issues.
BTW I'd get 205/55 up front, so the diameters match.

Thanks!

The rears really should have been +20, they BARELY touch the trailing arm. I am going to trim the seam on the trailing arm a bit and see how that looks with tires, but I have 3, 4.5 and 6mm spacers that I can use if need be...
However, my fitment is FAR from stock.

And thanks for the info, I always knew that the common 17x10 ET20 rear setup was CLOSE to the trailing arm, but never pinned down by how much. That's insane.
Also, nice tire sizes / model. I don't think traction will be an issue.

What's out there for a set of 4 street tires?

225/50/15 will fit easily.
How wide could i go with some fender rolling?
