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

[RagtopE30]

I dont like the poked look or the severely stretched tire look, but I really like the flush look. I am looking at buying a set of staggered wheels, front- 16x8" et20 and Rear- 16x8.25" et0. I have mildly rolled rears and Race springs with billy sports. Will this setup work and if so what tire sizes should I run to make them appear to be the same sidewall height and shape?

I tried to search through the thread and didn't see very promising news but I'll ask to be sure.

I have a set of 16x8 et0 and et16. They're 5 lug so I'd need to run adapters and the smallest I found are ~18mm. Does that translate to around an et-18/et-2? Will that even fit? If so, what size tire would be good?

I see you posted that 195/45 will fit the vette salad shooters (16x8.5)

What's your take on a tire that fits a little smaller without that stretched look?

Anybody have a clue as to the setup on this car? Sizes, offset, tire, ect.

Hey guys, I just picked up a staggered set of BBS RS's, measuring 16x7 et43.9 and 16x8 et 39.9.

What size spacers, bolts, and tires do I need? Do I have options? What's the "best"?

Got Borbet A's 16x9 ET15 all round with 205/45/16, will Variant 1 KW coilovers get me stanced?

I am lowered on vogtland springs with stagg shocks. Considering getting ESM wheels.

should i get staggered setup or 16x7.5 all around? And what size tire to fill in the wheel gap that i do have.

I have a 88 325 with Billi Sport struts and H&R sport springs. I am wonder what the best performance tire option is? I only drive my car in the summer. I have no problem running a staggered set up, but I HATE the stretched tire look. I saw you mention the ARC-8's 17x8, is that about the best reasonably priced setup?

Best reasonably priced is probably the TRM 15x8s at Tire Rack with a stick 205/50 or 225/50.

Best overall (it costs more) is probably the ARC-8s.

+0 will not fit how you want at all. 16x8 +20 all around on the other hand is ideal.

You're right, they won't work.

Not sure what you're asking...you just want a slightly larger tire recommendation? 205/45?

My friend's car actually. 16x9 all around, 3 or 5mm front spacers, 215/40/16.

Do you want big tires or flush fitment? Or a mix of both?

Yes they will. You'll need small front spacers to clear your KWs though.

That's a subjective decision, can't tell you if you like the 7.5" or 9" more. Choose whichever makes you happier, but know how they both look first (search).

205/45 is a solid choice.
