Swapping 195.60/15 tyres for 205.55/15 on a stock M10 would be overkill?
Its a daily driver.Maybe 205 is too much I think,but I d love to get the Toyos T1Rs!

I have an 87' vert and was thinking about running 16X7.5 ET20 fronts and 16X9 ET15 rears. I'm on stock shocks and springs but was thinking about dropping it later on H&R cab specific sports and billy sports. What tires do I need to run if I don't want to roll my fenders in the rear? I was thinking about running 205/50/16s in the front and 225/40/16s in the rear.

I am looking at two sets of wheels I want to get:
1st set Front 8x17 ET35 4x100 and Rear 9x17 ET30 4x100
2nd set Front 8.5x17 ET15 4x100 and Rear 10x17 ET20 4x100
Currently, the car is on stock suspension but in the future I am going to go with HR springs and Bilstein Sports. The car is an e30 cabrio, which set will fit the car better? what tires do you recommend and which set requires smaller spacers? ThanksLast edited by Acehye559; 11-15-2010, 11:22 AM.Comment

17X9 et6 with fenders rolled flat. Is it possible? I don't mind stretching tires.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.Comment

16x8 et63. What size are adapters are needed? Would they be too big or putting too much stress on the axles?Comment

That's what I figured. 50mm seems way to big imo, still crossing my fingers, maybe there is some hope....Comment

They are Southern Ways/ Epsilon mesh for a Porsche. 5x130 pcd, and et63.

However I don't know whether I'd like the no lip, huge barrel, hidden width kinda thing, but hopefully down the road an M30 might appear in the enginebay...Comment

Looking into some wheels and tires for my winter set. I found a set of 185/70/14's for my sinter set. The sad part is that they are on a set of plain, black steel wheels that were mounted on a civic.
Will these fit my e30? i dont' wanna use my spare jack to test them out, as I'm unsure how to use the jack on these cars...they look funny and unsafe.
thanks in advanceComment

I'm thinking of going back to the stock 14" steel wheels on my 91 318i...kinda like the stealth look with the factory hubcaps. Right now suspension is mildly upgraded (H&R Sports/Bilstein Sports). Can you recommend a good 14" tire in 195-60-14? I've read good things about Dunlop Star Specs, but how will these hold up as daily drivers?
My last set of tires were Falken Ziex 912s in 205-55-15. They only lasted about 20K until they got real worn from the negative camber of my car, plus they seemed to get cupped. Got so bad that I hated driving the car as it would shake and wander all over the road.
Right now I have 195-55-14 Dunlop SP8000s that are way to short, but actually look kinda cool. I want to save these tires for my Scirocco.Comment
