hi mystikal,
need advice.. i want to create custom tin alloy wheel
r14x8 et.11
r14x8.5 et.5
plan to use with sportkit springs on e28
please advice the tire size

thank u

Sorry, not much info in my head for either E28s or stretched 14s.

What is the max width tire that can fit on a 7 inch wide rim? My 205/50/15 tire ripped during the install. A local shop on my 15x7 rim

225/50 is about the largest you would want. That rip was the shop's fault.

rear 16x9 et15 fronts 16x7.5et20 with 15mm spacers, just got a chance to look, sorry about that.

195/45 F

205/45 or 215/40 R

[Mystikal]

sup, ok so i just picked up some 16x9 et12 im having them re-drilled to 4x100 .what tire profile will i need. For a nice stretch?? will i need spacers to fit the fronts ??will rolling fenders flat be ok or will I need to flare the fenders out as well??

205/45. Just a roll.

16x9
Et25
DTM flares, which adds two inches out on the flares.
Coilovers
I want the tires to be filling out the flares, but not have to worry about rub, I can run spacers no problem.
Same size tires all around.
From what it sounds 245/45 with 15mm spacers all around?
Could I get away with a 245/50? In order to get road tires lol

I'd ask Ary at ESM. I know they did a 16x9 245 setup with flares. 245/50 is out of the question though haha.

Offset?

sorry, offset is +32. pretty ridiculous. will it be even possible to use the fronts? 9.5"? if so, will 18mm spacers work and which tire size?

Thank you

What spacers would you use
Possible to fit a wider tire?

You would need an effective +6 final offset to clear, so a 26mm adapter in theory. And at that point, you'll be waaaayyyy outside of the bodywork. I wouldn't recommend it.

Those are annoyingly close to ideal offset, which makes spacing them complicated (proper hubcentric spacers start at at least 10mm, which is too much for what you want).

10mm front spacer, none in the rear. 235/40 all around. The rear will be very close to the trailing arm seam and may need either a tiny spacer or a slight grinding of said seam.

ok, i'll get 8.5's
so

16x9.5 -32 back 205-40-16
16x8.5 -32 front 195-40-16
18mm spacer

could i fit larger tires? or is this good enough?

[drumad]

mystikal, here to badger you again

I decided to go ahead and add flares (IE or dtmfiber) to my project car so I can fit some better sized rubber on my wheels, which are the typical brock b1 17s, 8.5et13 fronts and 10et20 rears. What can I fit now? Don't mind spacers if need be. I was going to go with newmans set up of having 245/45 and 275/40 as he had IE flares also. Any other thoughts?

TIA

Tires are too short. Go with 45 on both.

You already have more data on this than me. Go for it!
