I foresee clearance issues, if I copy the same set up, since those tires are far more stretched than what I have. I have a late model car, lowered, and do plan on doing some fender work. Please advise, thanks.

I am looking into getting 16 x 9 keskin kt1s. I know from reading some threads that the et had to be a certain size to clear the front brake setup. What is this et because the et of these wheels is 15.
Also would 205/50/16 work on an e30 lowered on JOM coilovers? I do plan on rolling my fenders, but not pulling. If this tire size would be too stretched or not a big enough sidewall please let me know. I really was trying to stay away from 55 series tires because a friend of mine has them and I think they look too beefy for an e30.
Also is anyone on here running these wheels in 16 x 9 because ive seen a bunch of the 17s but im interested in 16s.
Thanks

hi there
I need some help, I've searched but can't find a definite answer. I'm doing a 5lug swap (e36 m3 front and z3m rear). What wheels and size and ET should I be looking for? I want a wheel similar to bbs style 5 like 17' x 8 maybe but they need to clear de e36 setup without crazy mods to the fenders..
THANKS !! :)e30 325is
MODS:
s52 obd2 swap
Z3 M 5 lug conversion
Apex 17' wheels

Need wider contact patch.
Mystikal, et al.,
Current setup:
- 1987 325is w/ 4-bolt hubs
- Bilstein Sport front
- Koni SA rear
- H&R Race springs
- Racing Dynamics sways - 22mm front / 19mm rear
- E30 M3 camber bushings
- Dinan fixed camber plates - 3°
- UUC BBK (see attached fitment template)
I want to stay with 16" rims.
Is it possible to run 235s? What offset will allow the widest tire width?

Need some help - i'm a complete noob when it comes to wheels and fitment:
I'll be running filled-and-drilled 16x8 et23 style 5s (from an e38 ) with 5mm spacers on my 318is, lowered on IE3 springs. I've got 205/50/16 Falken Ziex tires to mount, but really want to go wider to avoid the stretched look, and gain a larger contact patch. Ideally I would go 215/45/16. I don't want to roll my fenders, though! Any thoughts on whether or not this it's possible to run 215/45/16 without rolling fenders? a 40 series tire might work, but i'd like to keep the ride height as high as possible - I already scrape too much!
Thoughts? Thanks!Last edited by misterTT; 06-13-2011, 04:43 PM.

205/45/16 tires are what you want.

THANKS !! :)
Note that your offsets are going to be all out of whack if you're using Z3M axles. You'll need 15-20mm spacers on the rear to even out any non-staggered wheel setup.
