Ok. Can 205/50/15 RA-1's fit on a 15x8?

Yes.

What's the source on the info for M3 hubs being 5mm further out? I've never heard of that, and know of E30 5-lug guys running wheel setups identical in fitment to 4-lug.

In any case, ET11 16x8 is aggressive as hell.

I thought you were the expert? wtf?

And who said I wasn't? I'm asking you who told you that information, because I have never heard anything like that.

Hi, im running GC setup and i would like to know if any of the following configurations will work without rubbing or rolling.

15x7 offset 35, tire 205/50
15x7.5 offset 20, tire 205/50
I see a trend in tire brand what are your thoughts on Nokian H's.

Thanks

I ran a 15x7 195/50/15 et38, and it was on the verge of rubbing under the most extreme AX conditions, with more skilled drivers showing me how to wring the car out. The 205 shouln't be an issue.

You will need spacers with the 35mm offset wheels.

The fronts will either contact the strut housings or be too close for safety. Need 15mm hubcentric spacers. The rear is fine as is.

The Nokian H isn't available in that size, however the V is. I don't have any data for that tire.

Please give info on this fit

Greetings,

I have four ADR 24's.

ET-40

17 x 7

They currently have 205/40zr/17's


What spacer, if any, are required to fit a stock 1990 325i?

Thanks

[BMWE34M5]

Ideally you need a 20 mm spacer - that's over 3/4 inches!
40 mm is the wrong offset for an E30.
Did they come off a front wheel drive Japanese car?
Make sure you have a 4 x 100 bolt pattern.

Ideally you need a 20 mm spacer - that's about one and a half inches!

Yes they did (Honda). They are, however, 4 x 100's.

Also, please say no, do I have to deal with rolling fenders?

not quite. it's actually just over 3/4"

[BMWE34M5]

You're going to have the opposite problem - they're going to touch your struts.
Best is to sell them and get wheels with the correct offset.
I would not recommend such a large spacer.

[BMWE34M5]

You're right - I stand to be corrected.
That's still quite a hefty width.
