    I just looked at the link you included and it's for 5x114.3 wheels. You'll want 5x120.7 adapters.

    I'd recommend 20mm all around with 205/45 tires.

      Can i ask for Another question ?
      I have oz mito type ii parts :
      - 4 pcs oz mito ii center (spec on the wheels 19x8.5 et.13)
      - 2 pcs 18x1.5in lip
      (need to find 2 lip and 4 barrel)

      Plan to build that parts to become 18x8in front and 18x9.5in rear. The spec will be:
      - front: lip 1.5in + barrel 6.5in (offset 32?)
      - rear: lip 2in + barrel 7.5in (offset 38?)
      About the offset please cmiiw..
      Is this ok for both e36 and e34 ? (if you have other opinion for the lip and barrel combination pls let me know). And what the tire size combination for e36 and e34?
      Thank you.
      Tried to follow this and I'm lost. Sorry.

        Looking at 15x8 ET25 Enkei 92s. I know 205/50s fit with a 3mm front spacer and the rears are no problem. I really want to run 225/50s all around. I am blessed with big arches on my 87 so I know that helps a little. What exactly would I need to do to pull this off?

        Big thumbs up, thanks!
        Just a rear fender roll. Can't go too low with the front but it fits with a small gap.

I was thinking to run either 20 or 25mm adapters with either 205 or 215 and a 40 or 45 tire?. Would this setup work, rub, and/or require the any fender rolling? I was looking at the high offset so I can get kind of close...-ish to the stock offset when paired with adapters. But you'd know more than I would if that's a good idea or not.

          Thanks a lot!
          25mm adapters. Could use 205/45, 205/50, 215/45, or 225/45 safely.

            Awesome, can you tell me what kind of spacers I'll need?

              3mm should work, but 5mm to be 100% safe.

                I bought some 16x7 ET38 wheels labeled as Enkei RF-2. What spacers (if any) will I need to run on a stock suspension '87 vert? Was looking at 205/45/16's for the tires.

                      Would look ideal with 15mm front 20mm rear.

                        You will need rear spacers. Not sure on how large as Z3M + E30 muddies my brain calculations a bit. I'd guess 15-20mm but again, that's a guess. Best to test fit then buy the spacers. 235/40s will fit all around once you get the rear spacers right.

                          I would advise against such a small tire on stock suspension, unless you're slammed those are going to look funky. Stock ride height down to H&R sport, 205/50/16s look best and keep the proper tire circumference.

                              I found the build thread
                              It has everything but offset

                              Wheels are 15x8/9
                              Tires are 205/50 and 225/50

                              The rear may be a little overkill could I run this with et0 front and rear?

                              I would prefer a 225/45 out back

                              Can I do that without flares?

                                I have a 87 325e, 1.5" drop using bilstein sports and eibach springs.

                                Will these wheels fit? Or is the offset completely wrong?

                                Haven't you ever seen Russian Nesting Dolls? They work like that.
