205/50

Is that gonna look weird or will it even fit?

I was planning on going with 205/45 but I was just playing around with ideas to gain even a little more clearance without sacrificing wheel gap.

Thanks!

Won't fit. 205/45s on the other hand... ;)

I'd go 15mm F, 20mm R, and 205/50 tires. There aren't many 215s available and none are worth the fitment compromise.

Thanks for the response. I will go as you stated :)

Thinking of ESM 002r 15 x7 front and 15 x8 rear , both ET15 . What tire sizes ? Any clearance issues?

F: 185/55, 195/50, 205/50
R: 195/50, 205/50

If it's an 88+ or a convertible you will likely need to roll the rear fenders.

Hey mystikal quick question.

I started with BBS RS003 +25. I've added 2.5" rear lips to make it 16x8.5 and the fronts will be 7".

I know they say 225/50-16 is too tall but will it fit on an early model? I have BC coilovers. I got a great deal on a set of GMAXX AS-03 and 205/50-16 in the front.

Wheels are vette bolt pattern. I know these fit BMW with wobble bolts.

I have the chance to grab another set of wheels like my three pice ACT wheels for a pretty goo price, but they were originally off a vette. They are 17x9.5 et 56 with what looks like 1/2" lips. I have spare 2" lips for these wheels, so I am thinking the final offset would be around 35 @ 17x11. Does that seem correct?

Is there any BMW that would fit this size? I am not interested in them if I cannot unload them, no matter what the price.

That is the original size of the ZR1, so I may be able to offload them to those guys.

205/45 rear is about your maximum, even with fender rolling.

Your calculations are correct. No BMW would fit that size without spacers, but with spacers a whole lot of cars can swallow them. Keep in mind you also need to bore out the centers for them to bolt onto BMWs (Vettes are 70.3mm).

Will S.Drives work? I know they run wider.

Can I run a 205/45 up front on the same wheel ? Will it rub the inside at all? The fenders will be rolled. Thinking about ordering 2 more lips and going square.

I just got a pair of Aluline Turbines. They are 15x7 front, rear. ET28. I'm looking for a meaty tire, but don't want a huge profile. The car is currently sitting on H&R Sports but I am planning on going to coil-overs in the near future.

I don't mind rolling fenders.

Put my rebuilt front end back on this morning (H&R Race/Billy Sports) and had the first opportunity to really test my new wheels. It is using inner mounted wheel weights and they make contact with the strut.

Should I just get them rebalanced with sticky weights on the inside or get a small spacer. Or.. would a spacer be preferable overall.

Much thanks in advance!

Yeah they'll work. There's more room in the front than the rear.

225/45/15 is probably perfect. 225/50 works too.

Rebalanced with sticky weights. Who puts clamp on weights on Enkei 92s? Find a new tire shop too.

[GAbOS]

Thanks!! I purchased them used like this. ;)
