Big change of plans, buy rims AZEV's 4x100, 16 x 7.5 et 20, now I ask which is ideal tire for this rim.

[ToPLeSS(e30)FeinD]

225/35 is the common choice. I'd suggest sticking with it.

16x7.5 front et20
16x8.5 rear et24

i was aiming for something flush with little to no poke. anybody know what adapter size I could run? and possible tires? will fender work... work with the rear width?

(From my post at what is this wheel thread)

Hi Jay,
I just purchased some stock BBS RM's 15x6.5 ET33. The lips are !/2 inch and I want to put on larger ones. I don't want the wheels to poke out. I was hoping for an E30 recommended tire size of 205/55/15. What size lips and spacer would I have to use? Would I have to use hub rings? I want the best grip and handling is there a different combination that would work better?

Thanks,

Tom Gould

Sup my names James i just picked up a set of BBS RZ 469 Style 5 - 5x120 16x8 et23
what tire profile do you recommend and 5 lug adapter size in mm

[ToPLeSS(e30)FeinD]

205-45 all round with 15/20mm spacers (which i have) and a decent amount of lownessocity.

GO!

Edit: didnt see that it was 5 lug... then just get the 18 mm adapters all around. will be easier to sell when it comes time.. and you will still be at et+5 on a 8"... pretty friggin flush

[aPapester]

front 17x8.5 offset 20 center bore 57.1 lip size 3inch
rear 17x10 offset 15 center bore 57.1 lip size 4inch

what tire size would be best for this and what would need to be dont?

you think i could do kind of the same with an 18mm adapter for an 16x8.5 rear with an et24 on a late model?

[ToPLeSS(e30)FeinD]

front 17x8.5 offset 20 center bore 57.1 lip size 3inch
rear 17x10 offset 15 center bore 57.1 lip size 4inch

OHhhh i hope this is going on an e30... depends on what your final height will be at. if you want to be "stanced", then you need to achieve some stretch, and 215/40 in the front and 225/35 in the rear will do it. ( i dont see why you would put 17x10 final offset 15 on something that wont be low..)
but if you are going for a casual look, then i suppose a 225/45 front paired with 235/45 rear will look casual enough..

ya that should be fine. IMO
