I picked up a set of 14x6 wheels that are et45 and 57.1 centerbore. Am I correct in assuming that 10mm spacers would be bring the offset down to et35, the same as the stock bottlecaps? Should I go bigger with the spacers and bring the offset down further? I've seen some people stagger their spacers so the the rear wheels are wider apart than the fronts. Should I look into this? I know it may seem odd me trying to keep 14s but these wheels were free. Don't want them to go to waste. Primary use of the wheels will be highway driving/commuting. Any advice, corrections, etc. is greatly appreciated.

15mm front 20mm rear

If that's the case, I might as well go non-staggered 15x7 as they're a lot easier to find. Would that be alright with 18mm adapters all around?

I'm alright with rolling the fenders if I need to.

Yup, just roll the rears.

Alright sorry guys, been out of the tire game for some time and need a quick answer:

I'm looking at some BBS RS.
7x15 ET38
I have 205/55 R15 summer tires. Will it fit?

Needs spacers. Ideally, use 15mm front 20mm rear and those tires will fit perfectly.

this thread has become way too large to search through. I have an 89 325 and just ordered some 16x8 et 15 wheels. What is the biggest tire i can fit with a fender roll? Suspension setup is gc 450/700

thanks!

215/45/16.

I found an awesome deal on potenza 195/55/16, I have 16x9 rims, what do you think? I don't mind a little stretch but nothing to crazy

Much too tall.

[Mystikal]

2205/40/17 tires

offset is 35mm

Spacer 25mm in the back and 20mm front

The car has been lowered


Do you think I can clear the fenders without rolling them?

Fix the typo on the tire size, tell me the width of the wheels, and what car they're going on.

So I've got some BBS RS wheels coming.

Specs are: 17x7.5 et29 and 17x7.5 et26

These are going on an 89 325i coupe with GC coilovers.

Can't decide which of the following tire sizes would be best:

215/40R17
225/40R17

I'm trying not to stretch the tire at all. Currently running 15" euroweaves with 205/55R15 Yoko S.Drives.

What's the best fit? Fender rolling is not a prob...

Thinking of picking up some competition tires in the next couple weeks as I found the limit of my s-drives on the track this weekend. I am trying to decide if I should grab a set of 225/50-15 Toyo RA1's or step down to the 225/45's for clearance.

H&R Sport springs
22/19 sways (fairly minor bodyroll in turns)
All spring pads in place
15x7.5" et26 Racing Dynamics RG-P
No fender rolling, willing to tuck the inner lips if I must to avoid rubbing.

I would prefer the 205/50's as I'm not well geared on the local track for smaller tires, i'm worried it will force me into holding highers rpm's or shifting more often when I'd rather not have to. It's also against Pro3 regs, but I don't remotely qualify for their regs anyways (DD 4 door car, no cage etc)

Either 215/40 all around or 235/40 all around. Might need 5mm front spacers with particularly wide 235s.

Fixed thank you!

I still need the wheel width, and what kind of touring it is...

225/50 RA1s will fit without rubbing.
