Which size of the three ContiExtremeContacts (in 15s) would fit Ronals the best?
205/55VR15
205/65VR15
225/60VR15
I'm running on IE3s, and I noticed that the overall diameter was a bit larger than the current AVS ES100s on the car.Last edited by hamann318is; 01-04-2008, 09:35 AM.The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

On a side note, I friggin love those tires as my winter set. It's a REAL all-season tire, blows my mind.

With 205/45/16, you should be fine, even without rolling.

You da man Jay.
So what you're saying is besides the fact that the spacers are going to bump the price up, everything will work out?
Am I going to need hub rings to make everything ride ok? It seems that I'm going to either pay a ton of money for the rims I want, or buy copies for uber cheap only for a Civic fitment. From what Im gathering, the only difference in Civic fitment and E30 fitment is the hub bore and the offset.
So if I got the rims. Bought 15 mm spacers. And put my tires on, everything should be good?
I thought about Rotas, but dont really care for them like I do other rims.
Thanks again for your help

If cheap is the goal, spacers aren't really logical. They add a huge cost to the price. That said, if you can swing 'em the 225's will look perfect on those rims with 15mm spacers.
Otherwise, a good cheap option is the 15x8 Rota Slipstreams. Still JDM look, but wider, no centering rings, and no spacers. Just a thought.
