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

[Mystikal]

Wheels 16X8 25 offset with 205/50 tires. Will these fit or will I need to roll fenders and use spacers?

5mm front spacers, no rolling.

[5ickride]

205/45 front
215/45 or 225/40 rear

Rear fender roll needed.

what would 205/40 all around be like? I only ask because these came with the wheels. But I have no issue buying the "right" set of tires.

Thanks again, you are very helpful!

Not enough load rating, too much fender gap, too little ground clearance. Of course all of that is in tiny amounts but it matters.

Ok thank you

Hey there,
I have a 86 32es diving board e30
Have a set of bbs style 5 17x8 et20 rims off of a e39.
What size adapters would you recommend to get with these? Or with this offset should I try to redrill them to 4x100. Also, what wheel sizes would you recommend running with these with some fender rolling, but no pulling. Just looking for a flush or close to flush look. Don't want poke though

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, acres of space. You have a chance of requiring spacers for caliper clearance though.

Hi mystikal,
thank you, i think i prefer the 45 profile.
if i want more wider, what tire combo you suggest in 45 profile ?

Can't.

Hi mystikal,
Yes you're right, i can't use more wider tire than 215 in 45 profile.
I try the 225/45 and the tire has always rubbed, even when i roll the fender still rub.. now i use 215/45 in the rear - not rubbed at all.
But i still want wider size than 215 on the rear.. Any suggestions? (rims 17x9.5 et.26 - e36 323)

18mm adapters, 205/40 tires, fender roll.

Or redrill, 215/40 tires, no roll.

Yes, 235/40. The shorter diameter will ease fitment, it's a perfect E36 size.

Ok, just wanted to make sure these would work. Thanks in advance! Do I require any spacers? I thought I wanted to be around 35 offset.

Wheel - 16x7
Offset - et37
Tire - 205/45/16


Thanks,

Dave

[Mystikal]

^ Nope, no spacers needed.

Just picked up some Borbet Type A's 16x9 all around. Front wheels rub slightly on the stock front calipers. How many mm spacer will I need? I've read 3mm, but is that enough? I would get 8mm, but I don't want to buy extended lug bolts too. Someone with these wheels please chime in. Thanks
