        Hey guys.
        Just wanting to say Big Thanks to Mystical for help and advise on wheel fitment.
        As promised, long overdue pics of my setup. I'm very happy with it in terms of handling. Yes, I admit it could sit a bit lower. I'll try to organize 1" - 1.5" shorter springs. from outside it doesnt look like much, and that was exactly the idea. But from behind you see two meaty tyres... that smoke once turbo comes on boost.

        Rear: 16x7.5 et35, 15mm bolt on spacer, T1R 225/45/16. Probably 245 wide would fit, not sure if they make some in that size 245/45/16? Otherwise will go for 225/50/16 next time. No clearance issues on the back. No fender rolling. [edit]This is pre-FL coupe chasis.


        Front: 16x7.5 et 35, 20mm bolt on spacer (required to clear custom 'solid' calipers) , T1R 225/45/16. I passed technical inspection, but it was noted they are borderline in terms of sticking out of the fenders. No rubbing at full lock. I dont think 225/50/16 tyre would fit... I would have to try it on... MMMMAAAYYYBBBBEEE.


        Thanks again guys.

            15x6 et33, will these fit standard (non ix) e30 w/o rubbing or will they need spacers to clear front calipers?

            Thanks!

              I was looking to run some Nitto NT01s and they dont have those sizes.
              If I ran some 205/50/16s I should be good, right?

                  Dude. I hope you're willing to go balls-out with that roller.

                    LOL. I found, and bought, one of my two favorite wheels ever in a spec I never knew existed. Im pulling NO punches now, it must be done.

                    I greatly appreciate all your time and help though. If you're ever in Chicago, or I make it back up to TO, I owe you a drink, Sir.

                      My new to me OEM steelies are hitting my front calipers. Have you ever heard of this? Looks like a 5mm spacer edit<- will be needed to make them clear.

                        Love the offer (and I'll take you up on it!), but just share some pics with us when you got 'em on. That'll make me happy.

                                Thanks dude! They did fit :)

                                Will 225/50 tires fit on them w/o rubbing?
