HI.

I currently have 15X7 et12 on 205/55/15. I have lowered the car by 40mm. I have rolled the front and rear fenders.

Will i have any issues if i go to 15X8 et25? The width will be more aggresive or will remain the same more or less?

"Oh i just saw that the wheels are AXIS (SSR REPLICA'S). I don't believe it's worth selling my original OZ KING for the AXIS?"

215/40/17.


I want to do the same. Can I run a 235/40/17 with the appropriate fender rolling? I have a set of tires ready for these and trying not to buy another, new set if possible! Plus, I like the meatier look and I'm not into stretch and poke...

It will require very stiff springs along with flatly rolled rear lips. Still going to be close, I wouldn't rule out having to pull the fenders slightly.

Would 18mm spacers work instead of 20mm? I had no idea that I was going to be needing spacers with the wheels I picked up. $64 for 18mm spacers with bolts, http://www.velocitymotorcars.com/bmw-wheel-spacers.html.

Yup, 18mm works (all around).

You'll need 3-5mm spacers to clear the front struts. Actually maybe not, if you have the smaller strut housings (not sure on the 316s details). The tires will fit fine, no rubbing.

Great. Thanks again for all your help!

I'm trying to run MOMO Quazars 15x7 ET27 on a late model. I need tires as well. These will be sitting under GC coils with Konis, and would like a nice stanced, but still DD-able posture.

Thanks in advance!


PS. Merry Christmas / happy holidays!

for the rear of a late model. 17x9 et10 with 215/40??
Already have the rears rolled and the little lip cut out.

Remember I went with 17x8 et 13 for my fronts.
Think I should run et 13 for me rears also? Then adjust with spacers?

Well, they'll bolt up as-is with up to a 225/50 tire. Did you want spacer suggestions?

Thanks!

Yeah, keep the +13, especially if you're going to run the 215/40.

[White325is]

Typo. That was suppose to be 205/40. So 17x9 et+13 for rear. sounds good. Thanks for all your help buddy. :)

I want to change my lug pattern from a 4 bolt to a 5 bolt so I have more wheel choices. How do I do that?

We have a whole section dedicated to 5-Lug swaps filled with info, try there and just start reading.

I think this thread broke R3V. Can anyone else not view page 100? I can only see the latest replies by hitting reply then seeing the list below.

Edit: Seems to work now...kept reopening page 99 whenever I clicked 100, or next page.
