New idea/setup 16x8.5 et19 they are 5x120 so I need adapters likely from
e30Rob so I can either chose between 20mm or 25mm

Car is on H&R sport + e90 drop hats and IE 25/22mm sways if it matters.

Possible? What tires?

thanks
Charley

Possible only with insanely stretched tires and heavy fender rolling. They'll be poking outside of the fenders.

[Mystikal]

would it look retarded to have 16x8 et20 with a minor stretched tire?

I've seen guys run 205s on that setup, looks good to me.

[Mystikal]

acs type 1 3 piece
FRONT: 9"x17", offset 6mm
REAR: 10"x17", offset 19mm


If so do i need to roll fenders and what's the proper tire setup?

If not what can i do to make this fit? Thanks

235/40/17 front 255/40/17 rear will work. Shouldn't need fender rolling.

Full disclosure: My knowledge on M3s isn't near non-Ms.

Okay so i sold the Schnitzers i recently picked up, decided they werent my thing, and got some Hartge 1-Pieces instead on thier way.

16x7.5 et25, currently rocking a 205/55R16 tyre.

Am i going to have to invest in some new tyres or can these be made to work? I do like chunky tyre. car is dropped on HR Sport-Cups (2.1F/1.7R), with adjustible camber and toe both front and rear and M3 CABs

I make a habit of not recommending such oversized tires, but it very well could work. May scrub the front wheel wells, a big hammer can fix it.

Once they burn up get some 225/45s.

Jay, I just got my tires mounted, they're 205/45/16 Parada Spec-2's on 16x7.5 wheels, and they'll be at ET15. My rears aren't rolled yet, and I'm really worried they're going to hit. Am I going to be ok?

Not even close, you'll be good.

[Mystikal]

I am thinking of 15in Hartges, 15x7 et26

I am on H&R sports. I would run 205/55 BFG Tires. I would assume the front would be just fine but I was wondering if I could run 15mm spacers in the rear to bring it to et11 WITHOUT rolling the rears.

You'd need 3mm more space than an unrolled fender would provide. It's enough to rub on large dips, or when you have passengers.

Either roll, or back down to a 10-12mm.

Not even close, you'll be good.

Thanks, Jay. :up:

[PReta]

would i need anything to mount up borbet type c's 15x7 et +35? or would they be a direct bolt up?

[STAGGERED M3]

Thanks for your reply jay. Thank you janderson for leaning me here, sorry I was a D..k!

18x8.5 +40 with 20mm adapter spacers. Unsure on suspension still, but what do i need to do to run this setup (most likely a diy coilover setup). I know I will have to roll my fenders, but I'm clueless on tire sizes. I assume something like 225/35/18 would be good.

fitment question:

1990 2dr
15x8 +20 TRMotorsport C1 on 225/50
H&R Sports
Bilstein sports
15mm springs pads in rear

will it fit? And will I need any spacers? I'm assuming I would need to roll all 4 fenders

Thanks in advance

Fitment question:

89 325i 2dr. HnR sport plus billies. Lookin at the ESM 002.

16x7.5 - 4x100 - 20 offset - 57.1 center bore. How well will these fit? What size tires, 205/45/16? I have no idea what the center bore needs to be for our cars.

Thanks guys.

[e30lov]

probably n00b question but can someone tell me what size tires this guy is running?





These are 16" i think, however anyone have an estimate on how wide they are? and what size tires hes using? looks to be the perfect amount of meat/stretch for that flush look that I really want to go with for my cabby...

Rank the following, most to least important:
Dry Traction
Wet Traction
Snow/Ice Traction
Hydroplane Resistance
Noise
Ride
Steering Reponse
Treadwear
Price

Right off the bat I'll tell you the 512/912 won't be optimal if you're worried about treadwear. I'll get you into something suitable though, just list those out.

It is no way shape or form in need of pure performance tires (just an FYI). I do have the HFP suspension and SI sways on it now so it's slightly lowered with better response. I spend about 50 miles a day in the car. So


Wet Traction
Hydroplane Resistance (roads seem to be shitty with water retention)
Dry Traction
Noise
Ride
Steering Reponse
Treadwear (would like them to last longer then the 25k these did)
Snow/Ice Traction (has to have a tad for the 1 or 2 days of icy)
Price

It currently has the bridgestones that came on it. Which have been alright but wore really fast and slip pretty easily on wet pavement.

Thanks for your help!!

If you don't mind also recommending one for my gf's civic. Her list looks like this:

hydroplane resistance
treadwear (her's also lasted 25k..she currently has traction TA's)
ride
steering response
dry traction
