I tried searching but difficult with the minimum characters. I am looking at using my e28 m5 stock wheels, 16x7.5. Gathering my suspension parts so working a little backward and hope you can help. Wanted to know if I either there is a tire that would fit with some fender rolling. I am either between the e30 m3 or e36 m3 setup. Also not sure about the brake fitment but I can work around that easily.

With the E30 M3 setup, those wheels will fit perfectly. You could run 225/45/16 with the smallest of fender rolling in the rear.

With the E36 setup...the wheels will be close to poking. It would work with stretched tires though.

Konig Remembers 16x7 20mm offset. Car is on H&R sports and Bilstein sports. What size tires will fill my gap best? 225's I hear but would the cheaper 205's make my fender gap look horrendous?

205/50 is the same height as 225/45, so go for it.

Mystikal ol' pal!

Need some new tires...

Wheels: 16X7 ET26 (Have studs and 5,8,10mm spacers)

Want to run as much meat under there.

215/45-16 Kumho XS will fit.

Want to run Dunlop Star Specs in 225/50-16... what needs done?

Wuddup Joey. I'll actually be travelling to your state (medina) to look at and hopefully buy a car on Monday. OT as hell but it's on my mind 24/7.

To get the Star Specs on, because the offset of those Fittis (see, I remember shit) is pretty conservative you will likely just have to bang in a little bit of metal/plastic on the front. The rear should be okay. Normally I don't recommend the 25" tires but I know you're willing to work for it.

Hey Jay!
How do euroweaves with 10mm spacers all around and 195/55 Dunlop Z1 Star Specs with H&R Race's sound on a late model 325is?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Should fit fine. lol you've posted in my fitment threads on both here and on maX now.

[Mystikal]

How possible would it be to fit the 15x9 TRM C3M's on a late model?

They have the miata 36mm offset so I'm assuming one would have to run spacers and some heavy fender rolling. Or maybe flares?

Also, what size tire? 225/50? 215/40?

Thanks in advance.

You would require a minimum of 27mm front spacers to clear the struts safely. In the rear, 20mm would be enough.

Once you're there, you'd either have to run very stretched tires (205s) with rolled or possibly pulled fender lips or run something larger (225s) with extreme fender pulling or flares.

Unless this is an all-out auto-x car I probably wouldn't bother. A 15x8 +20 version with a 225 is a lot of contact patch.

Thanks...would I need fender rolling with the e36 setup?

Most definitely.

89 325is coupe - running BBS RC's - 16x7.5 et35. Emphasis on performance over asthetics. H&R race springs will be installed at the same time along with undecided shocks. Suggested tire size?

[F34R]

In the future I want to run a set of 16x7 O.Z. Ultraleggera on my '87 4dr
I am running ground control coilovers and billy sports.
I am mearly asking about what tires I should run and any other bits since I am planning on tucking a TINY bit of tire. Before the rims and tires I am getting GC front camber plates and rear weld in E30tech camber fix. Also doing lug nut stems instead of the short fat headed e30 lugs. Sorry if there is a better word for lug nut stems

And info about what I should do or get would be grand. Spacer size would be good too.
P.S. 210-215 in the front and 225 in the rears?http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...All&sort=Brand

Alright Jay, here's what I'm planning:

16x7.5 ACT weaves, they are 5x120, ET30. I'll be running 20mm adapters, putting them at ET10, correct? Will a 205/50/16 fit under there? My front fenders are rolled, rears are not yet, but will be. If that's too much, I have no issue with a little stretch.

Yup, you'll be fine with a flat rear roll. As Stephen said, you can even order 5mm wider for the rear to help fill it out.

So it turns out the wheels are ET35, but I still want to do a 25mm rear and a 20mm front, putting me at ET10 rear and ET15 front. Will I still have to roll (I don't have objection to doing so) the rears ? What about if I run a 205/40/16? Or would I be better off going 25mm all around and putting both ends at ET10?

[Stephen]

^ i wouldnt, you might get bugged by having the rears narrower than the fronts IMO

[Jand3rson]

That's my biggest concern, I don't want to have the fronts sticking out farther than the rears.

[Stephen]

yea, considering its hard and expensive to redo adapters.

[cybourg13]

will i need spacers for the Kerscher Carmona wheels 16x9 ET15(i think) all around? and what tires would you think do best on them on a 88 vert 325ic with billy sports and H&R race springs. i was thinking either 215/40-16 or 205/40-16

[vpracer325]
