225/40/17 is a hard to find size. I think only one company makes it.

Option 1:

Option 2:
16x7 ET-2 205/50/16
Thanks in advance!

right now i have 15x8 et0 (sportmax) and they are slightly sunk so i think this new fitment will get rid of any sunkness.

Originally posted by NC325iC View Postthis thread is a mess, and its pretty hard to search through, someone should put together a table.
anyhow i am looking for some wheels/tires for my 86 (full fender wells in rear) right now im considereing the LTW5s which are 15x7 et25. this will be used mostly on the street but possibly some dual duty (until i can get a second set of wheels). Id like to get as much tire on the ground, obviously, since im going to swap the 3.0l stroker into this car. recommendations please.
Thanks
As I always suspected though, it in itself became a mess. My answers are tailered so specifically to each question that a simple table cannot accurately represent my knowledge. There are over 10 variables to consider, organizing these into a readable table would be impossible.
225/50/15 is a piece of cake on those wheels. No rolling.

I don't have the wheels in hand yet, but I would like to get some rubber coming so I can get everything together asap...

in another note, 16x7 et 33. They wont fit front without ??mm spacers? 16x8 et 33 in rear?
Doesn't mind little poke and little work on fender
16x7 +33 should actually just barely clear. With tires that have broad shoulders though, they could touch. As little as 3mm of spacing is safe. 16x8 +33 is fine in the rear.

Originally posted by iliescu2I have a clearance question. I want to build a set of RSs and care more about the barrel than the lip at this moment. Does anyone know the maximum backspacing you can have on the front and rear? I want to know the maximum size barrel that I can run, as I've found a few that are 6"-8".
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

15x7 ET18 on a high-arched early model with H&R Sports and Billstein Sports. I'm planning on using 205/55R15 tires on them. These should be fine without any fender rolling or other craziness right?
In addition, anyone think I could get 225/50s on there without rubbing?
