They're not quite flush in the front yet, I was thinking at least a 5-8mm in the front and a 10-15mm rear. I was at ET18 in the front with the adapters on the ACTs, and they were flush in the front.

You will need to roll more then. Your new setup is wider, with a larger diameter wheel, and also taller. Everything to make fitment tougher.

Would a 15x8 et+10 with 195/50 fit and if not what would I need to do to make them fit?

Mind you Im not lowered yet.

Yes, they'll fit. Fender roll in the rear when lowered.

Pulling is the act of bending metal. Therefore, it's pretty much unlimited. I've seen 285s all around.

WTF285s!! but seriously, thanks for all the help Mystikal. :)

hey I own a 1991 E30 318i convertible I have a set of 16x7.5 et40 on original suspension set up so I'm not sure what size tires i can use. I don't plan on doing any major modifications like fender rolling but i do plan on maybe going to some JOM coilovers in the future.
So i was just wondering what size tires i can run.

Thanks,
Nylko

Oh right, I didn't even think about the wider wheels...

what is needed to fit 245 40 17 under a late e30 with 17x8? what is the best offset? I do not plan to go low, be removing the inner liners and fitting steering angle stops

I've got wheels in those exact specs and just ordered some 225/45/16's. IMHO it's a beefy tire with decent width and sidewall that should fill up the wheel wells nicely and protect the rims while sitting pretty flush with the fender. A minor roll might be needed to run these without rubbing.....not certain as I purchased my car with the fenders already rolled.

215/40/16's will fit easily if you're not concerned with cramming as much rubber under there as possible.

Hey is anyone there still looking for an answer

[JRYE30]

Keskin KT1's (in the for sale section)

-16x9
-215/35/16 tires
-et15

Will this require fender rolling or fit well on a lowered 318is?

Thanks

^im pretty sure you can run those no problem, i have 16x8's and have bout an 1" of space. and rolling just requires a rubber mallet and some heat

[tomsolidgould]

1.5" lips F/R = 15x7.5 +20. Perfect. No spacers, no rings.

With the 205 50 15's will there be tire stretch? I'd prefer not to have any.
