Hey dude thanks for the help in advance

I have brock b1's in 17x8.5 et 13 and 17x10 et 20 and from searching this thread the recommended tire sizes are:

F: 205/40
R: 225/35

However, I'm having trouble finding tires for the rears other than Yoko S Drives and Falken FK 452's. Are there any other tires out there I can get? Perhaps a different size with more tire choices?

I run a 215/40/17 on my 17x8.5 front

If you go with a 235/40/17 that will open up the tire selection, and it should fit in the rear unless you are slammed

235/40 sounds really tall for some reason

edit:
ooooo, if I can get a few more confirmations that this 235/40 would be fine then I can get star specs all around

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

f: +25
r: +30

16x8
et 20

H&R race no pads what tire setup expected?

205/50 100% fits without modification. 215/45 and 225/45 may require a slight fender roll, rear.

[Mystikal]

what is an aggressive wheel size i can run on early model fenders. rolled. slightly lowered with stock brakes etc.? im in the market for more attractive wheels and dont know much about offset

16x9, 17x10, etc etc.

[Mystikal]

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

No rolling because the tires are laughably small. You WILL blow one of those eventually. Switch to a 205/45.

[Mystikal]

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

T

Slight.

[Mystikal]

17x8 m systems et 20 with 18mm adapters
Ideal size tires?

195/40 or 195/45. More rolling needed with the latter.

[Mystikal]

What are the best wheels/tires you can run for the track? Track only specific.

Tirerack 15x8s or Apex ARC-8 17x8.

[Mystikal]

bit tough to find 2 or 4 245/40/17.

Can I fit 255/40/17 all around? (I have another pair of 8.5" wide contours for up front)

I would presume I'd have to roll the fenders in the rear at least? Up front as well?

How much would it throw off my speedo?

Yes, easily. Fronts will need 10mm spacers with stock struts. Speedo will be MORE accurate. Rear fender roll needed.

[Mystikal]

I have 225/45/15 Falkens all around on 15x7 Euroweaves right now. The back looks great but the front sticks out too much for my tastes. I'd like to keep the backs meaty to hold the power (turbo) but I need to size down the fronts. Would 205/50/15s look ok staggered with the 225/45/15s in the back?

Yes.

[Mystikal]

can I run either of these without spacers?

16x8 et10 or 16x7 et40

16x8, yes.

Hello,
I'm looking to put 235-40-17 tires (star specs, maybe rcomp in the future?) on my car.
I have an early model with e36m3 front suspension and inline6 z3 hubs on stock trailing arms in the back. I'm running about -2degree rear camber right now and about -3 degrees up front.

I'm looking at getting 17x8 rims, but I'm not sure what offset I need. How easy of a fit will this but? My rear fenders are currently rolled a little bit, but the front isn't. Will I need to do a bunch of rolling to run these tires?

Thanks!

Which Z3?

[Mystikal]

can 225s on a 16x8 et10 fit all round on a e30? id say ill need to roll the fender lips right in. but do you think ill need to pull the fenders out? the car will be real low on coilovers.

id rather not pull the fenders out though. i want at least the 225s on the back, however i guess i could run 215s or if i have to 205s on the front?

thanks for any input. the wheels are almost mine. but i put them off when i freaked about fitment.

You would have to pull quite a bit. 205/45 is the size for those.

[Mystikal]

fell in love with a post of an e30 with style 32's. My question is from what body style do i need to get the style 32s from if i plan on running adapters? From what i have researched i think its the 3 series and z3 but i want to be absolutely sure and this seems like the place to do that.

Ideally, Z3 fitment ones, especially the rare staggered (17x7.5 and 17x8.5 +41). With 18-20mm adapters you could even run non-stretched tires.
