      88 325 lowered on ground control

      I think 215/45 is ideal but can I fit 215/50 without modification ?

      thanks again for all your help

        Fits perfect. Remember you'll need hubcentric rings.

          91 318is. Will be getting the centers fill and re drilled, and running a ~20mm spacer in the front to bring the offsets on par. Lowered on GE coils w 1.25" sectioned strut tube. Questions are what tire size/brand to run with a hint of stretch or no stretch at all, and any fender rolling needed?

            I'd like to get some 16x8 wheels front and back soon. Currently I have 15mm spacers up front and 20mm spacers in the rear. Will I have to chuck these or is there an offset that works?

              215/40 all around is my suggestion, brands aren't that important. Rear roll needed.

                If the effective offset is at or near +20 you're good.

                        17x7.5 205/45 et....-2. What am I looking at (is it gonna even remotely fit)? I'm thinking the adapters will need a few mm's shaved off, but I'll see what's possible. Car right now is tucking just a hair front and rear 205/50/16 and can go up or down. It's rolled front and rear, rears are pulled slightly, fronts can be pulled a lot if necessary but the rear is difficult on a late vert.
                        The first car I ever rode in was an e30

                              How would a 17x8 et30 with a 235/40/17 fit? And how low could you go on that set-up?

                                Hey man.

                                I'm looking to run a staggered setup for my spring/summer setup.

                                Azev Type A's

                                Front:
                                16x7.5 ET 20

                                Rear:
                                16x9 ET 15

                                The rear wheels currently have 215/45 tires mounted... what should the front be?

                                Pic of the rear:
