        Will 16x8 +25 225/45 work with BC and/or Megan coils? I'm looking to purchase one of these coilover kits, but I heard some people have issues with tire/spring perch contact. If anyone can verify that this setup is compatible, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

          Then measure your clearance. I don't know what flares you have nor how they were mounted, and that's sort of vital info to give the person advising you on fitment.

            Car is not dropped any. Just need a good long lasting preferably meaty tire

            Thoughts?
            205/50. Nice and bubbly, won't require fender rolling.

            If you want 225/45s you will need to roll the rears on an 88+ or cabrio.

                You'll need 3-5mm spacers.

                  Thanks dude. Also, do you know what's a common stud length to go with to replace the lug bolts?

                      Mystikal how about;

                      Front: 17 x 8 +38 w/ 205/40/17

                      Rear: 17 x 9 +25 w/ 215/35/17


                      This is what I currently have, what will it take to make them look good?

                      Edit: planned suspension will be billy sports with H&R race springs

                        Just found some really cheap wheel that look good.

                        They're off an e36 and sized 16"x7" ET:45

                        Wonder how these would fit my e36 5-lug swapped late cabby?

                          Well they're wide and have undersized tires, so they will work well in a flush setup.

                          20mm front spacers, 15mm rears.

                            Bolt right up. Use 205/50 or 205/45 tires.

                                Has anyone ever seen 17x8 bbs style 5's on an e30 running 4>5 lug adapters? Adapters would be 18mm - 20mm thick.
