Will it work?

I have 1984 E30 coupe. Will be putting the new H&R coilovers on car. Want to drop fairly aggressively if possible.

Will these BBS RS 17" replicas fit? Please note l am in Australia and it is illegal to run wheel spacers.

Will these wheels fit directly or would I need to run spacers? I have 1990 325is on ground control coilovers. Anybody know how rare these Weds mesh wheels are?

SSR Formula Mesh 16x7.5

Looking to purchase a set of SSR Formula Mesh 16x7.5 they come in a range on offsets. +7,19,32,45,58. Have 205/45/16s tires on hand. But what's the best offset 19 all 4 corners? Thank you

Car lowered on coilovers with stiff springs.

[Hershwon]

Go with the 16s. No spacers and 205/45 tires all around. Can also do a 195/45 up front for a matching stretch look.

Your a beast mate thanks. 16x9 rear and 16x 8 up front. Will look awesome. Happy with no spacers aswell.

Will the 205's be stretched on?

Why will 17's not fit. Just curious. Thanks again for your guruness.

So I was wondering how 17x8 et40 with 245/40-17 would work? I would have the 5-lug conversion from r3v. Side note: have you heard of anyone using the ground control 5-lug strut housings?

The rims I'm looking at

Borbet 16/9

16/9
Tire size will need to probably be different, Front and back

[elDizzle]

Yes, too aggressive.

You're the Man! You just saved me a ton of money!

Hi Just got myself a 1985 E30 323i Baur TC
Looking at getting some JOM coilovers.
Wondering how a set of 16x8 et20 up front and 16x9 et15 would fit. Would I need spacers? Also what tyres would work?

Other option is 17x9 all round et20 would that work all?


Thanks in Advance.

Go with the 16s. No spacers and 205/45 tires all around. Can also do a 195/45 up front for a matching stretch look.

Hello
Need some help with some tires to go on these borbets
Car is fully stock
1989 convertible e30 325
Can someone help with tire size to go on these rims with out rubbing?

Offset?

[Mystikal]

Just bought my first e30 its a 1991 325i and it's bone stock for the moment. Looking to turn this into a major project but wanted to know if I could run 15x8 4x100 0offset fronts and 15x10 4x100 0offser in the rear on stock suspension.

Will I need to roll my fenders? Do they fit ? Any not to expensive coilovers someone could recommend?

Not even close. Same wheels in a +15 front and rear have a chance.

[Mystikal]

If my searching served me ok:

'86 325e, basically stock.
I have acquired 4 DS2's 17x7.5.

Go with 20mm adapters and 215/40 tires?

Yep.

[Mystikal]

What will be the best Tyre size to fit on 17x7.5 ET28 to fill up the gap with the fenders on my 4D 320i 1985? I have D2 Racing full coilovers not yet installed, I was thinking to go with 225/40/17 or 215/45/17 I think the 235/40 is going to be wider than the wheels edge and might cause too much rubbing with the fenders but anyway I'm planning to roll my fenders to give more space for the Tyre to go inside freely.

I'd go with 235/40. They will fit.

[Mystikal]

Mystikal-
Earlier this year in post #9191 you mentioned that the 245/40/15"

"Will likely be THE hot ticket E30 size for those competing at higher levels. I can see people shoehorning them onto 15x8 +20 wheels (since there's so many of them, and a 245/40 fits well on an 8" rim) with pulled fender arches."

I'm thinking of trying this as a autocross only combo for my car (1990 325i, IE3 springs, Billies, urethane bushings, front GC camber plates, Z3 rack) and was wondering how much the front and rear arches would need to be pulled?

Thanks for the longtime contributions to the community through this thread!

Not certain to be honest. It would be best to start with a higher offset wheel, such as a 15x8 +25 all around. This way you can run a 5mm front spacer to clear the struts and no rear spacer for maximum clearance. I'd guess only a basic front and rear roll would be necessary with this setup.

[Mystikal]

I'm the happy owner of a 1989 325i 2dr. Still running stock bottlecaps, but now I'm looking at getting new tires and going to 16" wheels.

I have Bilsteins on the front and rear.

I'm looking at getting Ronal R54 rims (16") and 225/50R16 tires. I'll probably go with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 tires, need good wet and dry performance here in the PNW.

Will this setup work/fit? Any spacers needed?

Thanks in advance !

Need to know the offset and width. Also, that tire size will not fit.
