1989 E30 325i Sedan with lowering springs (40mm all around).

Thinking to get 16x8 +25 square setup.

Do I need to get the spacers or fender rolled?

And please recommend me the best tire setup for this wheel/offset set!

Thank you very much!

Im looking to run fender flares that are 50mm wide in the front (2 inches) and 70mm wide in the rear (2.7 inches) and I was wondering what setup I should run in regards to spacers and tire size. I have 16x9 et15 borbet type a's all around and I'm maxed out on bc coilovers. I am looking to get my wheels as close to the edge of the flare as possible and fit as much tire that I can underneath. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity.
Vogtland springs
17x8/9 et 32?
Can I space this out? Is it going to look silly either way?

[haaken675]

From what I can gather, I doubt that will rub.

Car: 1990 325i Coupe
Suspension: FA 500 coilovers
Wheel: TRM C1 15x8 et20 all corners
Tire: 205/50/r15

Can someone confirm this will work without any rubbing? Do I need spacers??

Mods to run 275 17x10 at all 4’s

So as the title says wanted to know what all has to be done outside of flares to clear a 17x10 wheel with a 275 wide tire. Also if you have pics of fitment that would be great

[haaken675]

any thoughts on Rota grid's in 17x9 et20 running 245/40-17's? I was thinking potentially 5-10mm spacers as well to get to the et i was hoping for. Will b running fender flares. I am more curious about rubbing on the inside or strut clearance.

Thanks

1987 325is; 17" Style 32 Fitment questions

I have searched the thread and failed to find an answer. 1987 325is, H&R Sport Springs with Bilsteins. Would like to run e39 Style 32's, 17x8 and 17x9; ET20 & ET26 and 215/40's. I plan to use adapters, which range from 18mm and up. Is this possible without too much heartburn?

Or, is it more sane to consider Style 32's from a 2003 330i (just not quite as good looking.) The back wheels are 17x8 with an ET47. I would plan to use this wheel at all four corners of the e30. What adapter size (F&R) and tire size (F&R) would you recommend if I wanted to avoid any modifications (rolling, trimming, camber, etc.) Looking for them to be a little tucked, certainly not flush.

Thanks for the help.

[grantmiller1]

there should just be a sticky on what setup works assuming rolled fenders. and non of this trendy hella flush stretch bullshit

Agreed, a google spreadsheet would be nice to list out all the combinations that work for rolled fenders (and not).

I've started my own just to find a setup that will work on 16x7.

Anyone run a 225/50/16?

I'm going to attempt to run them on a 16x8 et20 on a car with h/r race w/ billies

Too tall. You need 225/45/16

Need help determining offset along with tire size

Hey everyone,

I want to install the standard kamotors fender flares on my car and run as much rubber as I can since I am finishing up a turbo 24v swap currently. I want to run a minimum 9" wide tire, wider if possible. I would like to stick to a 17" rim, and my car is an early model so from my understanding the fenders already aid in fitting some larger tires as is.
That being said, what offset should I be looking for? also, how wide can I go with the wheel?

Thanks in advance guys. I am really trying ti minimize buying parts I can't use at this point as I have been doing a lot of that learning along the way...

[almostacrayon]

I just saw the work equip 40s.

Would anyone be able to help with choosing the appropriate offset in 15x8/15x9 size?
Link to the spec sheet --> http://www.work-wheels.com.au/files/pdf/equip-40.pdf

Also would you think I would be able to run a bbk if I went the standard or big brake barrel choice?

Bump.
Anyone have any insight into what offset I should be buying?

Coupe 87
Fenders are rolled

IE sIII springs with pads (3mm up and down)
Koni sport shocks

E90 drop hats will fit or will aggressive rub?

This setup can work? ����

[jb02]

Considering the following combinations for daily summer driving....stock suspension. Do not want to use spacers or roll fenders. Will these combinations be a direct fit bolt-on?
