    Do you think I'll need to roll the fenders?

      Definitely not with 225/45s. Small chance with the 225/50s if you really slam it later.

        I have an opportunity to get ASA revolution for really cheap but I'm not sure 17x7 with 42 offset will work on my 92 convertible. I'm on stock suspension

          They could work with like 20mm spacers. I wouldn't bother though.

            17x8 et35. Late model coupe. Looking for flush fit. Not worried about rolling and pulling. On ground control coils with chopped housings.

              Building an autocross car, planning on running Direzza ZIIs 225/45-16 on 16x8, ET20-25. Would I need fender flares, or can I get by with just an aggressive roll and pull?

                I'm genuinely interested in this as well...

                  My car is lowered on 16x8.5 et32 salad shooters and I am pretty much rub-free. The tires are 205/40.
                  I want to put on 16x8 et23 style 5s with a little less of a stretch and minimal rubbing.
                  Which tire size should I do and are any spacers recommended?

                      Massive spacing needed. 25mm front 30mm rear would begin to get you close to flush.

                        Just a roll.

                          205/45 will look meatier/less stretched than 215/40, trust me.

                          You will need ~5mm spacers to clear the front calipers. Search around for info.

                            I just picked up some 15x7 et20 wheels. fronts don't clear the caliper, so I know I'll need spacers there. I'm still undecided on tire size, I just run FK lowering springs and KYB struts.
                            is this a forgiving offset? seems like my options on tires are 205/50, 205/55, or 225/50?

                            anyone have any input at all on potential wheel gap, or spacer recommendations?

                              I've been thinking of picking up a set of e38 style 5's. 16x8 et 23. Not sure what tire combo to run yet although I don't plan on having anything stretched. Car is going to be on Koni adjustables and h&r sports. It's an mtech2 92' 325i vert. I've been on the white stock weaves for a while now and wanting to get into a wide size wheel. Recommendations on a sport/street setup with these wheels?
