Just got a set of wheels, 16x9 XXR's and i was reading it won't clear in the front? Any ideas? Its a 16x9 square set up. Tire sizes to go with? Thanks guys

Maybe try asking on Facebook? They have a whole section for this. ;)

hey guys I'm trying to buy a set of rims that would fit my car. the thing is when i bought it it came with flares so i need deep wheel to fill the gap. any suggestions on what fitment would be best?

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

Coilovers and a rear fender roll. Should just work.

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

205/45 is perfect for that. You can also run 5mm rear spacers to even out the fitment without rubbing.

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!

Need to go undersized, the wheels basically don't fit the car. 185/50 and 195/50 seem to be popular.

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.

You need 10mm hubcentric front spacers to clear the suspension. You can then run 215/45 or 225/45 (215/50 is a bit tall).

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

+20

[Mystikal]

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...

205/50 will look wider than either of those sizes. 225/45 also fits and would look extra meaty.

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?

195/45 front 205/45 rear.

[Mystikal]

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?

Thanks!

Yes, 15mm front spacers. 205/45 is ideal.

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.

Big tires:
20mm front, 25mm rear, 215/40 fronts 235/40 rears

Flush:
30mm front, 40mm rear, 195/40 fronts 205/40 rears
