Has anyone use style 32 from e39 wheel specs front wheels are 8JX17 Offset is ET:20 & Rear Wheels are 9JX17 Offset is ET:26 on a e30 w adapters?

[Thizzelle]

will 17" et2 fit a vert or without modification to body? or et17 be better?

[e30leigh]

You're mentioning tire sizes that don't exist. Once you look at the available 15" tire sizes you'll start to realize how limited you are.

ah ok interesting. would you think those widths and offsets will work. and what tyre sizes would you think could pull it off? i want to have some decent tyre width for optimal grip.

With enough spring rate and stretched tires, yes, they can work.

That depends on the width of the wheel, but in general yes +17 is much more optimal.

You're limited to 225/45 all around. The Hankook R-S3 comes in that size and is a fantastic tire.

16x8.5 et -05 + 205/40 Front - 18mm spacers + camber plates ~3.5* camber
16x9.5 et 04 + 215/40 Rear - 15mm spacers + camber

offset is final, after spacers
thoughts? Looking for a wee bit of poke :giggle:

i have filled and drilled 17 inch style 5s. whats the smallest spacer i can use to clear the front brakes without grinding them down or anything?

[BavarianGonzo]

Which is a better fitment for iX:17 x 7 ET 27 (Beyern Mesh Style Wheels) or 17 x 8 ET 35 (ESM 004) for iX? Thinking about 235/40/17 or 205/45/17. Thanks!

Would 17 x 7 ET 27 Beyern Mesh wheels work for an '86 325 on eibach springs lowered 1.6" front 1.4" rear? My goal is to avoid using spacers or rolling fenders, if possible, but I'd also like to run 17" wheels since it seems that the tire selection is better for that size (I think?)

thats going to be crazy

[Mr. Tasty]

what would you recrommend for 16x9 et 12 front and rear for tires? I want something pretty thick. My front and rear are on adjusters so height can change. I have 205x45 and it's not enough meat for my liking.

[Mr. Tasty]

i was doing some spirited driving and my front left tire started making a faint hissing noise. So I must have broken the bead seal.

[Codydog866]

What size tire would you say is best for a 16x8 +15 offset? Thanks!!

[e30leigh]

225/40 or 45 would be perfect.

checked tyre pressures. its possible i guess if your pressures are too low.
