Hey, I just wanted a quick confirmation before I order wheels for my winter setup.

Car: 88' 325 2dr
Susp: Eibach springs + drophats (2"ish)
Tires: 195/60/15 winterforce snows

Im trying to narrow it down between these two (cheap) choices, and I want to just make sure they will be an easy bolt up and look decent with nothing too complicated aside from hub-centric rings and possibly tuner bolts.

Wheel 1) Drag DR-20 15X7 4x100 ET10

Wheel 2) Konig Rewind 15x7 4x100 ET20
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/15X7-KONIG-R...ht_3049wt_1034

Any concerns, or should these bolt right up?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!

Either setup should work without rolling or spacers.

Jay,

On a not-slammed late model with H&R OE sport springs (1 inch lower than stock) and rolled fenders, and maybe 1.5 degrees of neg front camber (fixed plates), could I get by with 16X7et25 and 225-50-16? I know they're tall, but I'd be running a lot higher than most on this thread. Thanks in advance.

You will still contact the fender well when you turn the steering wheel, but again, doable.

Hi there, im planing to order a set of Compomotive TH 17x8 and ET could be from 15 and above. So what would be the perfect ET for the front and the rear? And the tyres?
I was thinkin 17x8 ET20 at the front with 205/40
17x8 ET16 at the rear with 215/40
will it fit?

I got already rolled the arches at the rear.

Thanks in advance!!

I like your offsets, but I'd go with the 215/40 all around.

[Mystikal]

Just for clarification, 17x8 +25(aka apex arc-8s) will fit with h&r races with only mild fender work? what about a 17x9 +20, more fender work, but not too much?
On a late model car

ARC-8s with 215/40s fit without any modification, with a small rear fender roll 235/40 is possible.

17x9 requires spacers, stretched tires, and rolled arches.

[Roysneon]

Stretching is 100% necessary. Even with a 215/40 stretched on all around, you'll be working the rear arches quite a bit to get them to fit.

Thanks a lot, so just to bug you once more, 215 is the widest I can get away with with these offsets? I need to cut out the quarters and weld in fresh steel so working them over is no problem, worst case I will buy an E34 to put them on :)

[drumad]

Totally up to you. I can tell you what fits, but I have no clue what you like.

Touche. I guess what I was looking for was an "optimal DD size." The "best" size for a DD e30. Gah, vague question. Sorry.

[lbreevesii]

Can someone tell me about fitment of bbs rx203's, 17x8 +10 offset, w/ 4 to 5 lug adapters on the E30? Can I do it without being hella flush?

Hey, i'm thinking of getting some Compomotive TH's 16x8, they come in et 25-32, so im guessing 25 all around would be best. Which tire should i go with? From what i've seen 225/45 seems like a good meaty tire, which is what I'm after. I don't want to be 4x4 height, but the 215/40/16's on my 16x9's keep me at a uncomfortable low height to look right. Considering the poor road quality around me I'd like play it a little safer. I'm on GC's with camber plates upfront.

Thanks in advance!!

Here is a 16x8 +20 showing you the strut tube to rim clearance. I would advise you to run a 5mm spacer on your setup with a 225/xx/xx tire.

225/50/16 (RS-3) ** They run a size bigger than your average 225 **

Question new fitment

Ok, so I'm going to be coming into some new wheels. Staggered 17" 8's in the front, 9's in the rear, all et13. I want to stagger the tires. I'm on H & R springs and billie sports. What's your thoughts? Thanks.

[drummerchubbs]

I have a red 89 sedan. I really like white diamond racing d shape window in 16x9 et 12. (see klasik e30 fatlace). What do you think?

What H&R springs? A fender roller is needed in your immediate future.

Are you going for a "stretched" look on this?

Just reg ones. 1.4 front and .75 rear. I rub a touch now. I'm just looking for some help on tire sizes, especially the rear. I'm thinking 235/40/17 and 205/45/17 front.

What are your current specs? 17x9 +13 is going to be an aggressive setup... I might have a few of the late-model guys chime in here but I am going to say that a 235 setup without some fender work and camber will not work out to well depending on body-roll and how low you are.

Here is a 17x9 +5 (used spacers) with 215/40/17

[IminDiegoTriick]

need opinion. Im buying new tires, and the goal with these is to achieve maximum flushness. Suspension is coilovers in the front, Springs in the rear. So the rear can't be adjusted up and down like the fronts.. I appreciate the help!
I came down to either 195/40/16 or 195/45/16
My wheels are 16x9 ET15


195/45/16

or



195/40/16


on these..
