Looking at a set of 16x8 ET20 wheels .. would like to run the widest tire i can all the way around. Car is on Intrex springs from the PO i have not switched them yet.. and i dont know the drop but i know its low, because the front fender almost tucks the tire..

what size tires can i run. and i dont mind rolling/pulling the fenders a bit.

17x8.5" all around Keskin KT1 offset 15
What tires will I need? I'm not affraid about the rear but the front looks like it might need stretch.

This could be the same, cept rear is 17x10"

hi i have an 87 325is with a zender widebody kit , i had 15x8.5 zender sports with a -6 offset, the wheels im thinking of buying are 15.8 with a 16 offset what size spacers would be needed to make them fit the same.

[vpracer325]

nobody?

nobody?

Patience, Jay works in Mystikal ways, he will get to your question when he is ready. Wheel sizing and offset are srs bznz.

Just because you're impatient, 30mm. :p

Nope.

If you go absolutely insane with a fender roller and pull the guards out, a 245/45/16 fits.

If you want a less extreme project, 225/45/16 works with just a flat fender roll.

Heh, those are definitely 17x10. Good friend of mine's car (with another good friend's wheels on it). Ironically that M30 beast just sold a few weeks ago.

Anyways, that's an aggressive fit. The car in the pic has the +20 version, and as you can see it's already pretty flush. You'd have to run 205/40/17 all around on those wheels, with flat fender rolls.

Please help me build a set of wheels to mount slicks on!

Here is the link to the site I will be ordering them from with a spec sheet. I want to buy these but dont want to screw this up because they are made to order and they offer no refunds if they dont fit.
I recently swaped to a 5 lug Z3 rear, so my requirements are 5 lug obvious, and rim diaameter of 15" no exceptions. Please help me with back space brake caliper clearance ect.

Hey Jay...

Not sure if you remember me or the project, but here's what I got...

Late body E30 with massaged rear fenders. I wouldn't say rolled completely flat, but definitely rolled. E30 M3 suspension with Fr500lb/Rr400lb springs. Front fenders are not rolled, and I want to run fender liners. What are the chances of 17x8 et20 throwing stars fitting with a 215/40 (all 4 corners) considering I'm pretty sure you need to use 5mm spacers to clear the calipers?

cheers

Slicks meaning for drag?

You'll have more than enough space, even with the spacers installed.

Mystikal: a big thank you to you, sir!
