I am currently running 17x10 et15 with a 225/35/17 outback with some roll and pull. I really want to get a 245/40/17 outback with a new wheel setup.

What is the optimal width and offset I should run to make 245/40/17 fit easily on a 91 late model 325i? Thanks.

17x8.5 +30 (rear only)

Will the width make a difference? Can I run a 8.25 or 8" wide wheel? Also will +25 work on a wheel thats anywhere from 8-8.5"?

Thanks so much!

Mystikal, thanks for the info! What about if i run a 17" wheel? What size max tire can i fit?

Thanks again!

245/40/17 is about the largest size that fits easily in the rear. Requires something like a 17x8.5 +30.

sorta noobie. 1992 mtech2 325i vert looking to buy a set of bbs rx214's 16x7 et35, i have billy sport and h&r sports about 1.25" lower. wanting to run 205/45/16 on it all around. dont like stretched look. this is for a performance street setup and filling wheel gap. how will this look? and do i need rear, both, or no fenders rolled? Any spacers needed?

15mm front spacers
20mm rear spacers
Fits close to flush as can be without rolling.

Total noob here. I'm looking to get a set of custom wheels made for my 89 325i. I want to run 16x8 fronts and 16x9 rears. What would be the ideal offset for these? What tire size would I want to run? I appreciate all the help that and info that you supply to us noobs.

Meaty tires:
16x8 +20 205/50
16x9 +25 225/45

Flush/stretched:
16x8 +10 195/45
16x9 +15 205/45

You're looking at XXRs aren't you.

17x8.25 +25 works well with a 235/40 and a roll. 245/40 would require fender pulling.

Picked up a set of Miro, 16x7.5 +30 and 16x9 +15, what would be a nice tire size, im not that low on Joms, so dont want so much fender gap...would 205/50 front and 215/50 work for the rear?

*not looking for stretch tire look but nothing too meaty, thanks!

I will be running a moderate stretch all around.
I have no rolled fenders but looking to roll the rears soon.
Will these fit?

[McDewbie]

wondering what is the widest tire and tallest tire i can fit under a 1.5" lowered e30 with 17x7 rims

[willworkfore30s]

I just ordered some ESM RS reps. They are 16x8 et 20 all the way around. I am lowered on H&R race and billy sports. I was told I need a 225/45 tire. What do you guys think and what brand and model tire do you recommend. I am not a fan of the stretched look. I like the beefier look of a slick or similar. I would like to not have to roll my fenders. Thanks in advance.

[McDewbie]

tire rack says the 225/45 doesnt have the same rev/mile as stock. for an 18 tire rack says use a 215/35

[318isbmw]

I'm looking at running a set of staggered style 5's on an e36 m3 suspension in my e30 with AST 4100's. The wheels offsets are:
17x8 et 20
17x9 et 22

Anys suggestions on tire sizes? I'd like to run as fat as possible, and I'll be rolling the fenders heavily.
