Better. You'll need 3mm front spacers (can keep your original bolts) and the largest tire you can fit is a 225/45/16.

Thank you mystikal god.

+15 is safe

Awesome! :D

Now how hard would it be to run et 5 with the same wheel specs.

Im looking into purchasing a eastwood fender roller ;D

[Gooneric]

Which tyres can i run with Borbet A or B 16x7.5 Et20 without doing anything with the fenders? I have a 60/40 Front rear drop. Would my current 205/45/16 work with those specs , or do i need to look at new rubber

What size tire is recommended for a 15x8 et0 wheel?
Car is pretty low, about h&r race height.
I would prefer a tire as close to stock diameter as possible.
Thanks!

I have a 91 318is, on H&R race springs. Looking at 16x8.25 wheels with et25. What if any issues will I have? Like to run either 215/50-16 or 225/45-16. I hope this question hasn't been asked a million times. Thanks in advance.

16x8 with 225/45. which et would be better for me? 20 or 30? looking at esm-009r

not looking to stretch at all

86 eta with lowering springs

[alpineII_dirty]

16x7 +25 all around, thinking of 215/40 all around? Not many 215/45 available, just looking to give a nice width appearance with not to much of a over the top profile...

I measured BBS wrongly.
E30 Vert/E30 M3 5 Lug Swap
BBS RS 005 ET11 Front 16x6.5 Rear 16x7.5

What size tires can I run without rubbing?

[JRYE30]

16x9 et15 rear and 16x9 et25 front Schmidt Modernlines...will I need spacers to clear the struts in the front?

And would 205/45/r16 tires work on those?

Looking at running Style 68s with adapters on my '86 325, the front being 17x7.5 et41 and rears 17x8.5 et50. What would be a proper width adapter size to run front and rear? Also what tire size would be good for those? Car is lowered on ST 60mm springs F/R.

OK I searched but couldn't find an answer:

'89 e30 coupe with stock suspension and 16x7.5 et40 Sport Edition CD.

TR says 205/50R16, without knowing wheel data.

Will I need spacers? (going to need rings anyway)

Is there a wider tire I can stuff under the fenders w/o rolling or other modifications?

Thanks - let me know!

looking to see what clearance/spacing issues would be on:

early model
ka motors ultra wide flares

17x8.25 et 20 with 215/40 or 254/35 fronts
17x9.75 et 20 with 275/40 rears
and
17x9 et 19 with 215/40 or 245/35 fronts
17x11 et 0 with 275/40 rears

Hey guys I need some insight, I just bought a set of staggered salad shooters [16x8.5 ET32, and 16x9.5 ET38] and need to know what adapters I need to get (spacer, CB width and what the tire specs I should run are), 205/40 all around? I'm clueless when it comes to this shit  

Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Having issues... need a bit of advice.

Setup:

Wheels: E38 Style 5's: 16x8, et.23 (5x120 filled and redrilled to 4x100)
Tires: Yokohama Parada Spec-2, 205/45/R16
Spacers: 10mm H&R spacers all around
Suspension: Ground Control, complete kit (GC hybrid cushion camber plates, 1.5" shortened strut housings, 440F/650R).

Currently running the above wheel/tire setup on the alpine. I think it is the best tire for the e38 style 5's (at my ride height). Currently, the tires are starting to get worn and definitely need replacing. Unfortunately the parada spec 2 is no longer manufactured.

The chalkboard had a fairly aggressive roll but the alpine has a very gentle roll since I'm not running it as low as the chalkboard. I'm worried that if I just pick a random new 205/45/r16, it is going to run wide and force me to roll the alpine fenders more (which I am not willing to do). Granted, there is a bit of room in the fronts (for a potentially wider tire), the rears are absolutely filled w/ the 10mm spacers. There is no more room for a wider tire.

Does anyone know of any 205/45's that run similar to the yokohama parada spec 2 (that don't run wide)?
