ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread

I want to run 4x100, 16x7.5 et35 RH ALLURAD wheels w/205-45-16 tires on my 1987 325iC that is sitting on a set of cabrio spect H&R sports. I test fitted a wheel and it just rubs the strut tower ever so slightly with the lugs tight. What size spacer do you guys recommend? I don't want to roll the fenders just move the wheel out a little.

Thanks,
Jason

5mm is enough to clear the front stuts, but you'll want more to make those wheels look nice. 15mm front 20mm rear would be perfect.

alright, im puzzled

I have a pair of Brock B1 17x8.5 et 13, they dont clear the stock brakes without a rather large spacer.

I see Brock makes the same wheel but with a 35 offset. where will this position the wheel?

I've used the offset calculator but I dont understand what they are saying.

any help?

Can't judge caliper clearance from the offset, as the change in offset can be achieved via various methods (hub could be shaved/smaller, spokes could be moved laterally, etc etc).

That said, in general a +35 wheel with a 20mm spacer would be very likely to have more caliper clearance than a +13 version.

I have an early model and am looking at diamond racing steelies, 16x8 up front with 195/45 tires and 16x10 rear with 215/45 tires. Im thinking 0 offset in front but im not sure what offset i should run in the rear. Its gonna be pretty dumped with rolled/pulled fenders and im trying to get it nice n flush, any advice on rear offset or anything else i should know?

Go for 12mm in the rear, everything else sounds good. I'd go with 225/40 rear tires though, just to keep the diameters matching. 215/45 is a little tall to be pulled 10", aesthetically.

Thank you VERY much for all your help in PMS. The wheels clear my front bags with ZERO problems and fit flawless. I wish I could buy you a beer.

I tried a search of this thread. Hope this isn't a repeat question, but probably is...

I have D-Force 15x7 wheels now with 205/50 tires. I'd like to get the wheel closer to the fender without rolling fenders or deal with any rubbing. Any recommendations on spacer size?

Thanks!

Going to try 20mm spacers all around. Ordered and on the way. Will report how it goes.

How about I help you since I already ran this setup.
16x10 rear with 6 inch back spacing. 215/45
16x8 front with 4.5 inch back spacing. 205/40
no rolling needed.







If you want more poke, then adjust from there.

This guys kinda running the same shit.

Theres also another guy on there with the same setup.

Mike thought you had BBs rs

Sold them for something different. ;)

So I have a set of BBS RA's that are 14"X6.25" with an offset of 30. The stock stud length is too short for me to mount them. The 45mm spare studs I have are too long (rubbing wheel hub innards). So, since I have the longer ones, what size spacer would I need to get an offset equivalent to like 25?

[csermonet47]

What would be the best offset to run on a 16x9 wheel for a square setup. I have camber plates in the front, so I can adjust from there. I would be running a 215/45/16 as well. I don't mind a flat roll on the fenders, but would like to stay away from pulling them. I would like fitment close to this:



He is running 16x8s with +5 in the front, +3 in the rear and a 205/45/16.

Also, any recommendations for a 215/45/16 tire?

Thanks!

16x9 et15 all around and a 10mm spacer in the rear should do the trick. Same setup I ran and it was pretty square.
