215/45 is the largest that will fit an 88+ car without fender rolling.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.
I'd suggest using 205/50 for more tire options and easy fitment.Comment

205/40 and 215/40. Rear will require rolling.Comment

Thank you for all the advice you are giving everyone.
And if I dont have to roll my fenders then ill prolly throw on some spacers. Possibly even some negative offset
Edit: I love your rims! so different and a great color.Comment

16" wheels, 225 front and 245 rear... perfectly vertical sidewalls, flush stance.
Which 16" wheel widths and offsets would get me close?
Spacers allowed. I don't mind rolling the fender lips but would prefer not to do a pull. Car will be getting coil overs.
Failing that, 16" 225 at all four corners?
Thanks!Last edited by reece146; 04-18-2013, 01:02 PM.Comment

Going to run 17x7.5 & 17x8.5 in the rear. ET41. 18mm front and 20mm rear spacers.
What's my best option for tires? Also, will I need to presumably roll my fenders all around?
Car is a late model, lowered on Eibach springs, nothing fancy. E90 drop-hats in front, too.

Too much rear tire. 245/xx/16 tire choices are horrible anyway.16" wheels, 225 front and 245 rear... perfectly vertical sidewalls, flush stance.

16x8.5 +17 225/45/16 square. Just roll the rear fenders flat and use a high-ish spring rate (500lb/in rear or more).Comment

I'd use the adapters (I'm assuming they're adapters since you just named off OEM E36 wheel offsets) the other way around. Rears should already be where they need to be relative to the fronts without the 4mm swing.
No rolling: 205/40 F 215/40 R
Rear rolling: 215/40 F 235/40 RComment

The shop that was selling them was some ebay-in-real-life tuner junk store. I bought the last set for the Sentra:OH really thx god I didn't make it to that deal lol. I was waiting for a replay from you guys for 4 days to make sure they fit on my E30 but I guess I got lucky to not overpaying :S..

Just go for ESM reps, I've seen them in person and they are almost identical to these. I know a few shops retail ESM in Toronto, maybe you can find one in Ottawa. 205/45, 205/40, 215/40 are all good sizes.Comment
