1989 e30 325i touring.

Wheels -
Fronts - 15x8 +12 bbsRS
Rears - 15x9 +3 bbsRS

I was thinking 195/45/15 Toyo T1r all round? Opinions

Suspension is ground control coil-overs. Planning on going fairly low.

Those tires will be way too short even if you are super low.

Looking at the 16x8 et10 running a 205/50/16 tyre with early rear arches do you know if these rims will clear the brakes in the front, and if this tyre size will work in the rear.

The et20 set wont clear the front brakes and i dont really want to run 16x8 et0

Thanks!

Brake clearance can't be determined by wheel specs unfortunately. You will have to try them on.

16x8 +10 is ideal with a 205/45. You will likely rub 205/50 in the rear without rolling.

Sounds decent, though you may want to consider a 195/50. You will have very very little ground clearance on the 195/45s, if you haven't already invest in a skidplate.

5x130. 16x7.5 et32 16x9 et 38

I would ideally run 18 or 20 mm adapters.




How would 25mm adapters work for this fitment? I have a source on some and trying to determine if the final offsets are too low?

Thanks again!!

It would look great with 25mm adapters. 195/45 front 215/40 rear would be a nice even fitment.

Thanks for the reply mate, Skid plate already acquired :) I agree with you though. 195/50's probably a better option.

I am used to running fairly low, my 318is coupe had 40mm clearance between road and skid plate :)

Sorry should have said the rota grid v in this fitment if you know, much appreciated.

i just picked up my touring, and test fitted my bbs RM's. i ordered a pair of even bigger lips. finished sizes will be 15x9.5 et-6 up front and 15x10.5 et-19 in the rear, running a square 205/50/15 falken rt615. just put in my order for a set of JOM. this will be my winter beater, but hell i might as well have fun with it during the fall

[htown318is]

so,

318is with apex arc-8, running 235/40/17 and JOMs and no fender roll.

currently on 215 and want to go as wide as possible w/o roll.

I see from previous post 235 is safe, but my concern is on a moderately dropped car.

yay or nay?

thank you.

15x8
+20
Wide 205/50/15
This will work with no fender modding lowered on h&r races correct?

Looking to run tr motorsport wheels 15x8 with 205/50 yoko sdrives.

Thanks

Nope. You will definitely need a roll for 235s.

No fender rolling needed.

Looking to choose from 15x8 +0 or 15x8 +20 as a track setup. It will be on a coilover setup. Which offset would be more ideal and what size tires would you recommend? I've always had 16s on my 89 e30 coupe. Thanks

[Nick's e30]

16x9 on all 4 corners, et15, will I need any kind of spacer or fender rolling? Ultimately going for a flush look.

Thank you!

[ThatOneGuy97]

alright i looked all over online and well there arent much answers for ix questions so here i am again. what offset will i have to run with a 8 inch wide rim on an ix or do i have to run 7.
