The smallest adapters available, which is usually 18mm. Yes, lots of fender rolling and 205/40 tires. It'll still probably rub a little bit.

Awesome thank you! I have a good fender roller and i'll go to town on it. picking up the wheels tomorrow but they wont go on till after winter, I'll throw up pics of the test fit!

If I run 16x7.5 e31 turbine wheels et15 can I stuff a 245/50R16 tire and not rub. e34 chassis, car is quite low on coilovers. im convinced at least 15mm spacers will be needed

That should fit fine without spacers.

please help i want to buy 16x7 and 16x9 et33 they are bbs rs wheels and i need hub adapters cause they are 5x114. Will that work and if so what size tires do i need to get and how thick adapters do i need to get for the perfect fit. I am bagging the suspension in the near future. The tires on the rims right now are 195/45R16 all around.

Style 32's-17x9 et26 Square on 215/40/17, do you know what size spacer I should run to be flush all the way around?

Hi Mystikal.. I am getting a set of 15x7 OZ Alpina's et12's to run with Bilstein HD's and H&R sport OE springs on an 86 e30. From what I've read these wheels should fit no problem, just wondering what the best tire size would be for best fitment and appearance, 205/55 or 195/55? Speedo is a little more accurate in the 205's but selection is better in the 195's...
Thanx very much.

Assuming they're +33 all around (which isn't likely, but anywho): 30mm front, 20mm rear. I'd swap to 205/45 or 215/40 rear tires down the road also.

I don't know what car this is for.

Both sizes work fine, 205/50 also. You'll find the best tire choices in 195/55 and 205/50. Your speedo is way off no matter what tire size you run, 2-3% won't kill you.

I wana run 205/50s on a square set up of salad shooters. They are 16x8.5, et32. I went with a square set because I never really liked the look of staggered shooters the rear just always seems to poke too much causing the need for too much stretch IMO. Also its hip to be square.

Car will be on ground controls coils with 2'' taken out of the front struts and German engineering adjustables in the rear. Nice and high spring rates all around. I plan on rolling the fenders when I get the wheels on as well.

My question is what size adapters should I get to make these sit nice and flush with zero poke? I'm guessing 20mm adapters all around I just wanted to get some input before I pulled the trigger on them. Also I would love it these wouldn't rub like crazy, hopefully thats not a pipe dream.

Thanks.

Mystikal, here is my setup that you helped advise me on. Thanks...took a little more work than we discussed, but it came out awesome!

205/50s will be too tall to work on 16x8.5" wheels.You can easily make it all work with 205/45s and the 20mm adapters. Even 215/45s.
