ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread

I'm looking at getting 16x9 et 20 wheels. I need to know what tire size to run with a little bit of stretch but not too much. I want to be able to roll the fenders a minimal amount, but be able to get a good flush stance. I'm on JOM coilovers.

Mystikal: What is the widest tire you can fit in the back
on a late model with rolled fenders. Including a perfect offset and what is
that offset/size in your opinion?

[NeedaE30]

question is about fitment on an 87 325is

keeping this in mind, I prefer no stretch and i like tires that look meaty. in other words the more tire the better

for 15x8" wheels what is the perfect offset that would require no spacers and no fender rolling with what sized tire?
Same exact question for a 16x8" wheel. offset, no spacers/rolling and what sized tire..

I'm trying to decide between 15's or 16's considering tire pricing/size, available offset etc

I have an early model 325is. Right now I'm running billy sports and h&r sports, would there be any issues with 15x8's 15et if I ran 225/50-15s?

Looking at running 20/25mm adapters for 17x8 RC090's on a late model - Seen a similar setup with 18/23's that looks perfect, would the 2mm front and rear make much difference? Up to what width/aspect ratio could I run? Looking for maximum contact patch, obv

Hey guys so im looking to install a set of ESM 002r 15x8 et15 rims all around on my 325i 4 door on GC coils. After a ton of reading just wanted to ask if i installed 205/50/r15 tires all around if i should expect rubbing issues? Also can i use stock wheel bolts for these rims or do i need some aftermarket wheel bolts?

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, massive tire fitment noob here. I just picked up a set of 17in style 5's with 235/45/17 tires for a steal. I know the tires won't fit my E30 (1991 318i, stock suspension, pretty much all stock). I am planning on getting some GE coilovers once they get in stock but for now it's at stock height. I was thinking of running some 42 draft design 18mm adapters all around. Would 215/40/17 tires work for this?

Thanks!

where can i get some 20 mm spacers that will mate a mini cooper wheel to my e30? looking into purchasing 17x7.5 et 48 ac schnitzers and I think the centerbore is 1mm less than the e30.

I have a quote from a machine shop for 35$ a wheel to bore it out to fit the e30 but then i would have to buy 20 mm spacers anyway because of the offset so I'm hoping to kill two birds with one stone and save some mula.

You must live in San diego

[ramielman]

yea, why?

[ajackz]

I've seen those wheels on c-list.

[ramielman]

Ha it was a steal

[ajackz]

Yeah I thought about picking them up several times but I just didn't have anything to put them on. Please post pics when you get them mounted. I think they would look really good on a slammed car.

i found a set of 14 inch steelies (will be my winter tires) and am wondering what to do for tires. I am wanting to go for a wide meaty look. I'm unsure of the width and offset of these wheels. The tires currently on them are 185/70/14. Also im lowered on 2 in springs all around.

thanks. heres a pic of the wheel.
