Ok I have a set of 16x7 rota's that i plan on mounting on an 87 with eibach suspension. wondering what spacers i need to fit these on and what is a good size tire to use? I'd like to get 225/45s. i got a turbo'd m50 so traction is a problem so the bigger the tire i can get under the better. I'm planning on going with the bfg gforce kdw. Also on the wheel it say offset: 40, and i measured the backspacing and its 5 and 9/16! Any input?

Any Help???

20mm spacers all around will fit the 225/45s nicely. I'd suggest looking at the brand new Dunlop ZII, they actually made it in 225/45/16 which is a size that was dying quickly. Should be the stickiest dry street tire out this year.

Will bbs rs 16x8 et 11 and 16x9 et 8 fit with the 18mm or greater adapters? Also what tires would work well? I have my fenders rolled but not pulled.

Those are re-drill perfect but too aggressive for use with adapters.

Need to run this by the Guru before I make a purchase. I want to put some meat under the car, looking for a wide stance and traction to accommodate my swap. Due to some wrinkles I will be adding flares so making the size fit inside the stock fenders, rolled or not isn;t an issue.

16x9 et 0
265/45r16

in all for corners.

Will I have any fitment issues or need for spacers.

Thanks,

They'll safely clear the suspension. Fender work will be dramatic due to both the section width and diameter but you probably know all that.

3-5mm front spacers to clear the coilovers and you're good. 205/45 tires.

[Wrinckled]

RS017 16x8 ET 62
RS018 16x9 ET 36

& both are 5x130

What size adapters would I need to still be tucking / mildly flush and clear the strut / brake caliper?

I'd greatly appreciate as soon as you can get back to me because the listing for these wheels is up soon.

55mm front 25mm rear is about ideal (+7 front +11 rear). 195/45 215/40 would look nice.

Anyway i can run 225/50 in the rear to fill in the gap? and maybe 205/50 in the front?

Thank you for the fast reply, what's the highest safe offset (insuring I don't rub strut or brakes?) I'm worried that 55mm adapters is too large (a bit unsafe)

What tires I could use using 1.25" fender flares and 1.5" rears, with 17x9 et0 wheels?
Meatier the better....

Guessing 9s in the front too, and what is the ride height? lower you go the more space you lose.

You can run a nice square meaty 245/35/17(603.3mm). The et0 is what hurts having a ton of meat.
I went square setup under guessing they are 9s upfront and that allows you to rotate the tires. If you have coilovers you can tune the height to the fitment.

Those specs keep you within stock sizing overall(195/65/14=609.1mm).

[darvo]

Yup, I would like a square setup... 17x9 et0, they come also in 17x9et25. But I was told et25 will have problems on the inside of the wheel well.

I'm running "coilovers" lol.... JOM's

But I can adjust ride height

No
