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

Jay - You would suggest the same size tire for a staggered setup? You wouldn't go with a wider tire on the wider rear wheels?

Depends on the setup.

[Mystikal]

I picked up some 15x7 +20 Zender Turbo rims cheap off a local guy which have bald 205/50s on them. The 205s are a little bulgey on the 7".

I plan to get them refurbished professionally and make them look nice as a stop-gap wheel. I enjoy aggressive fitment but on skinny 15s it will be hard. When i install them, i will be running a full coilover setup.

My thoughts were to run 25mm front and 30mm rear bolt on spacers and roll the guards. What size tyre would suit this combo? Judging from the bulge of the 205, i was thinking 195/50 or even 185/50 if that is possible to buy.

My concern is making the small and narrow wheels look awkward if spaced too much with too small a tyre. However i only want to use bolt-on type spacers so the minimum for these is often 25mm.

cheers for any input...

It won't look very good. From the rear it will look downright strange. Wouldn't suggest trying to go flush on 7" wheels.

Well then you went too small. Throw a 5mm spacer on the rear and roll. :D

Haha damn! I did notice the clearance with the front strut is pretty tight. Should I be concerned or throw on a small spacer for good measure?

Anyone ever run these? http://www.jegs.com/i/Weld-Racing/92...oductId=755790

Jay -

Car: 1989 325i on Bilstein's and IE3 springs
Fronts: 16" 7.5" ET25 with 225/50/16
Rears: 16" 9.0" ET15 with 225/50/16

Here are my questions:

Would there be rubbing or fitment issues with the following setup?
Would the rear poke?
Does this seem like a good tire choice?
Do people run the same size tires on staggered setups like this?
Would spacers be needed on the fronts for them to be flush with the rear?

I want to get the esm-002's...what offset do i need to get for my e30 if I want the 16x7.5 in front and 16x 9 in back?

4x100 pattern. Thanks

Spacer has nothing to do with clearance, just to even out the stance. You'll see what I mean once you mount the wheels.

Haha, tire sizes are way off. 205/45 front 225/40 rear with rolled rear arches. Fronts will need 15-20mm spacers to look anything like the rear.

+20 front and rear, if they still offer them. I'm not searching to check.

I'm running 225/50/16 on my 16x7 et25 and it took rolling of all 4 corners (including the rear "high arches") and removal of the front fender liner to get no rubbing. I have E90 drop hats, billies, and IE3 springs.

trying to fit 16x8s on my car at height in sig. what size tires wouls i need to stretch on there to make this happen? front et20, rear et10

400/650lbs coils.

[IRUNEDM]

Will 17x8 +35 and 17x9+35 BBS RS with H&R Race springs fit? I'm thinking of doing a fill and re-drill and using spacers if needed.

School me on these wheels,please. Tell me if they are cool,lame or even rare? Also, what kind of BMW they came off of. Shop near mine deals with nothing but take offs.

Wheel #1




Wheel #2




Wheel #3





This is what I'm up against.:shock:

How about 215/45/16 Falken RT-615k on all four corners?

Wheel #1 is Style 32 could be from an E39/E46/E65/E90 (Depending on the size/offset)
Wheel #2 is Style 5 v2 off of an E38/E39
Wheel #3 is NOT a BMW wheel. It is from a 90's Jaguar XJS.

There are way too many wheels on those pallets. All of them look familiar.
Which ones are you interested in?
