    Will 16x8's et10 fit a 1991 318is with a 60/40 kit?

    If so which tyres would you suggest?

    All the arches have been rolled, although not flared!

    Thanks
    Yup, I suggest 205/45/16 tires for those.

      Yes, you will need them. Not sure where though, search the net.

        Thanks man, I was hoping they would fit. Stupid question: If I swap E30 M3 front suspension bits, would basically any wheel that could fit on an e30 m3 fit on my car? (restricted to 16", and rarely 17".....no 18" wheels)

          Hey man, I'm bout to pick up a set of bbs Rs 070 et16 15x7's.
          I don't really want to roll my fenders.

          Will these fit? And what tire should i run to get a stretched look.

          I'm running IE 3's and bout to put on billi sports.
          (Sorry if someone has already asked but looking through 243 pages is alot of work lol :) )

              I found an awesome deal on some great tires, but there's just one thing: They are 225/50/r15

              I would be running them on wheels 15x7", with offset et26.

              Worth considering?

                I am going to be running Style 19's, 17x8 et20. I am on GC 500f/700r coilovers. What tire size is recommended for this? I am not going crazy low like i am currently in my sig, i am going for a nice stance.

                  Hi Jay,

                  I'm running ESM 002 16" x 7.5" et20 on my 91 318is. I had some 225/50-16 laying around and put those on just to get some use out of them but obviously they are a bit too large. I will be putting on some lowering springs (about a 1.5" drop) shortly and need to change tires before then. Would 215/50-16 work or should I go to with the more standard 205/50-16. Want to have no rub at all if possible.

                  Thanks,

                  Seth

                    215/40 is perfect, and what I have in my sig on 17x8 style 5's.

                              16x8 e38 style 5's, on 225/45R16. ET23. On a late model with 20mm spacers all around (wheel adapters). On HR race with spring pads in still. This doable?
