16x8.5/9 et24/18 205/45

What size spacers should I be looking at?

Thanks!

I'd go 5mm front and nothing in the rear.

ok. i think i understand this stuff mostly.... i found some Rota slips 15x7.5 w a backspacing (measured by owner w tire still on) of 5.5inches. that converts to et32 correct? this will not work w/o spacers correct? or will it just clear??? whats the largest offset thatd clear on a 15x7.5? i want an offset of 25 or 20 but i clist is letting me down. I dont wanna run spacers. I'd rather get a wheel that fits.

its my DD on hr sports and billies. will probably run a 205. thanks in advance

Never trust people measuring backspacing/offset. Rarely does someone do it properly and dropping hundreds of dollars on that chance is silly.

I've done a lot of searching, and I believe I have the right answer. I just want to verify:

15x8 ET 20, 225/50 on all corners with an early model (1986) will fit with no fender roll or pull?

Car will be lowered, but not slammed. Dinan springs in the front with Bilstein sports, Bavarian Motorsport rear springs with KYB Gas-a-Just.

Definitely needs a rear roll.

rear 1987 325e... 16x 8.25, 4x100 +0 offset, what will i need to make it work
Thanks

195/45 tires and fender rolling.

195/45 tires and fender rolling.

This is for the back or front? I already have 205/45 up front...
Was trying to fit a wider rim in the rear with the same 225/45 tires

I'd go 5mm front and nothing in the rear.

So 16x8.5 et 19 will clear the strut for sure?

[weew379]

Will they fit? can't find the right answer!

I have Borbet type B 16x9 ET15. what tire size and brand should I run with out rolling my fenders ? I have 8 mm spacers all around!. my car is still stock right now but planning to lower it.

It will rubbs/touch the wheel housing with 205/50 R16 (Borbet A 7.5) in the front with -35mm H&R springs ???
Thanks

All around. Nothing wider is going to work in the rear.

Yes. Back in the day Tirerack used to sell a 16x8.5 +17 Kosei K1 that worked fine even with 245s, that's my best reference point.

You will have to roll your fenders with the rear spacers. 205/45 or 215/40.

Depends on the offset of the wheels.

[badnerd]

All around. Nothing wider is going to work in the rear.

ok thanks.....I guess i'll just go back to my old set up

Thanks to Mystikal for the help... He assisted in gettin me the look i desired


sorry for the crappy cell pics

IE 3 springs, all pads removed
powerflex offset lcab
16 x 8 all around
205/45/16 front (i think i need to roll)
225/45/16 rear with 15mm rear spacer (rolled fender)

[e34_spangler]

Ok so I was looking to lower my e30 I had my e34 lowered so I know the basics. I was looking at diamond racing steelies. I was thinking 16x7 but 15s would be much cheaper what are yiy guys thinking?

215/40 16x9 ET15 front 8mm spacers
215/40 16x9 ET15 rear no spacers

will they fit without rolling my fenders now?
Thanks
