              Late model E30 on coilover sleeves.
              wheels are 5x120
              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

                        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

                            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?

                              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..
