    Ha, I had a set of those on my ex's SE-R Spec-V. They were like $900/set new locally in Toronto I hope you're not overpaying. They bolt right up to an E30.

    Here's a set on my friend's S50E30:

      I will be running a moderate stretch all around.
      I have no rolled fenders but looking to roll the rears soon.
      Will these fit?
      205/45 tires. Might not even need to roll the rears.

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.
          215/45 is the largest that will fit an 88+ car without fender rolling.

          I'd suggest using 205/50 for more tire options and easy fitment.

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

                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.

                    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!

                      Car is a late model, lowered on Eibach springs, nothing fancy. E90 drop-hats in front, too.

                          You will want 10-15mm front spacers and none on the rear.

                            Too much rear tire. 245/xx/16 tire choices are horrible anyway.

                            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).

                              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 R

                                The shop that was selling them was some ebay-in-real-life tuner junk store. I bought the last set for the Sentra:



                                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.
