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

10mm be enough?

Another question, 16x8 et16 in the rear, anyway I can get away with 225's?

yes. many people run 16x8+20 with 225/45 and your only 4mm off of that setup, fenders will need rolling but shouldn't be too bad if you're at a reasonable height

16x8+20 225/50 heavy fender rolling

[FunfGan]

Awesome man, thanks, my fenders are already heavily rolled due to my previous setup(15x9 et-3)

[Vtec?lol]

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

i'm looking for a lower profile tire that's still affordable. I don't want the meaty look as my car will be pretty low.

[mikejungle]

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

I'm not sure what you mean by flush fitment, so could you explain?

I really don't like the stretched look, if that's what you're saying. Is there a reason why people do that?

If that's the case, I would only want the stretched look if getting flush fitment was too expensive (i.e., tires are really expensive, or lots of fender rolling needing to happen.(

Also, once you tell me what size spacers and bolts I need, could you recommend a decent brand that won't cost me $100-150 a pair? Or do I have to go H&R?

More than enough, 3-5mm is all that's needed. If you already have 10s I'd use those on the rear instead (more fender rolling needed, but fitment would be amazing).

As stated, they will work fine with a flat fender roll. 225/45 though, 225/50 is much tougher to make work.

I only offer fitment advice, can't price out tires for you. :/

Flush = wheels as far out as possible, which typically involves tire stretching (not as a rule, but it allows the wheels to be further outside).

You will need sizable spacers for that setup regardless of fitment taste. I would suggest 25mm bolt-on spacers in the front and 20mm hubcentric spacers in the rear. There's lots of vendors selling properly machined 57mm hub 4x100 spacers for a lot less than H&R/Eibach and they work well. Try googling "25mm 4x100 57mm spacer" and you'll probably get flooded with sites.

For tires, 205/50 front and 225/45 rear. You will need a minor rear fender roll for this. If you're against fender rolling as a whole go to 20mm front and 15mm rear spacers.

Darn, tire I'm set on only makes 225/50's... My fenders are pulled a good bit, so I guess I'll see. Thanks again.

I would like added the added performance that wheels farther out would provide, but I think it can look silly sometimes.

I am not against the idea of rolling my fenders at all; in fact, i saw a set of rolled fenders where the crease/bevel was taken out and the fenders were allowed to flare out to a paper-like edge...does that make sense? I thought it looked pretty good.

I'm having trouble finding 25 mm spacers for a decent price, but I found a pair of hub-centric 20 mm for 60.

can you suggest good cheap brands/retailers, or is any spacer pretty much as good as the next?

[Vtec?lol]

I'm not asking for the price. Just a recommendation for a more common low profile tire. Sry for the confusion though. Thanks anyway.

17x8.5 et 17 and 17x10 et 19
Will it fit late model E30?
Tyre size recommendation?
Thanks Jay

[jim325]

16x8 et26. I will have to use hubcentric rings because the center bore is 73.1mm. Should I get any spacers?

I already have a set of tires that id like to use. I am pretty sure they are 205/50r16. Will they rub? Will the tires be too stretched?

The current wheels I have, 16x7.5 et23 do not rub. BUT I already rolled my fenders.
