Will i need spacers to use 17x8 20 offset wheels? What tire size would work best? I plan to lower the car a little in the future.

thanks

No spacers, they will already sit far out compared to any stock wheel. 215/40/17.

Actually my question was kind of vague. I am looking at some 17x8 style 5 BBS for either my E30 Mtech2 or my E30 m3. The wheels I am looking at are I believe et20 hub bore 71?mm.

Will these fit the M3 without spacers? If I fill and redrill can I use them in my E30?

Yes and Yes.

thanks 4 ur help=)

The link only lists the rears, so I'll assume the front offset is something reasonable aka 15-25. I'm also going to assume you want to keep the car slammed and not have big meaty tires (which wouldn't allow you to lower it as much).

F 205/40
R 215/40

I'm 90% sure its been asked already but I can't seem to find it.

Looking to run 17x8 et20 style 5s with 18mm adapters.
will it rub?
What options do I have for tires?

I have a pair of 245/35 and 215/40

You'll need tiny tires, Style 5s with adapters are not a very good fit IMO. 195/45 or 205/40.

[Mystikal]

Should of went with 205/40R17 instead of 215/40R17 ugh ! Or will it tuck inside nicely when lowered ??

I don't know, what are the specs?

[Mystikal]

ok so i need some guidance please.
front - 16x9 et15 205/45
rear - 16x10 et0 225/40

I know I have to roll the fenders (no biggie) but will I have to pull them excessively?
I drive a 87is lowered on JOMs if it matters

Forget pulling you'll need fibreglass and a paint booth. Rears aren't even close to fitting inside a stock fender.

is there a way to make it fit with just rolling? and a little pull

what about in 50 or 55 profile? what widths can be run, and where are all these most likely to rub?

Wheel Fitment on my "new to me" 325i

This forum is superhelpful, and I'm sure you have answered this question... I found some rims and was wondering what rings I would need to make them fit (or even if they would)... They are 16x7... 100x4 bolt pattern... 56.1mm bore and a 45 offset

[GOT8SPD]

I've decided that I want to go with 16" Rota Slipstreams...what's the best wheel width/offset and tire size combo that people use? I do not want the "hella flush" / "stance" with crazy neg camber and stuff...just want a good fit...

I do not want the wheel/tire to be sitting inside the wheel well like it does now with my 14" bottle caps 4-lug. I'll be lowering it with GC coilovers. I do plan on going pretty low.

Nope.

No, even with the undersized tires you're going to be rubbing. Rear arch, most of the way around.

Those need to be bored out by a machine shop to fit an E30 (which needs a 57.1mm bore). They are designed to be hubcentric and bolt-on for a Mini.

What are the options? I'm not a Rota dealer. :p

[GOT8SPD]

16x7 with +0, 40, or 45 offset. Or 16x8 +20, 34, 40, 48.

Also where can I buy a kit that converts so I can use wheel studs? Thanks!
