As an update to my previous question: I bought the 205/45/16 s.drives and they fit great. They actually have more sidewall clearance than the parada spec 2's... I guess s.drives and parada's both run wide? No clue. Anyway, for future reference they do fit with e38 style 5's running 10mm spacers all around.

Im going to be running 16x8 ac schnitzers et 35 possibly with 18mm adapters all around. Would this be a proper setup to run on a 1990 e30 325i cabrio? My fenders have been pulled by the previous owner and I am currently on cosmo coilover sleeves and bilstein sports.

Yes, you'll have lots of clearance. Use 205/45s ideally.

I have a set a wheels that are 17x8 and 17x9 +35 offset I wanna know what offset i can run to make the wheel flush with the fender. Some people say i can run 0 on the 8 wide and +5 on the 9 wide. I personlly was going to run +10 will that be to sunk tho? Does anyone know?

Flush is subjective. I'd also call either option flush depending on ride height and tire size.

You need to search for pictures.

Wheels come in two offsets 15x8 et 15 & 25. Wanted to run them on 225/50-15. Which will be the easiest to run on with out rolling if possibles. Tire size input if rolling is required. Its a late model lowered on bav auto springs & kybs. Thanks

I would like to run XXR 531
16x8 et0 up front with a spacer
16x9 et0 in the back no spacer
What tire should i put? I chose the 9s in the back so I can put some tire on it..
Car will be lowered on coilovers, I would like a little bit of stretch but not too much
Thanks

If you want to run 225/50s you'll need to buy the +25 version then use 5mm front spacers to clear the struts.

The no-spacer option would be +15 and 205/50s.

The offset is too low, the wheel will be poking front and rear.

For what you want +20 front and rear with the same widths is ideal.

Neat. Did I see your car on reddit yesterday? The fitment seemed familiar.

195/60/15

15x8.5 et 7

I've seen pics of rims and tire, and I like the meaty look. How would this set-up look on e30 in your opinion?

Can it be done with flat roll?

Tire is way too big. 195/50s would require a roll, those require a sawzall.

How do I make this fit with out fender flares? They are 15x10 iirc

[apiazza2010]

I found some nice rims, size 16x8 et20 front, 16x9 et15.
I would like some poke, just a little bit, do I have to run spacers for that?
What tire should I mount to have some stretch? Would 225/40 rear 205/45 front look nice?
Thank again

Buy a widebody 80s Japanese car. Other than that, not much.

Those are good wheels for that. Mount them as is, you might add a front spacer later but I think you'll be happy. 205/45 front and either 215/45 or 225/40 works. Or 205/45 all around.

I'm sure the question has been asked before, but a search of the forum does not yield a clear answer...

What is the exact size of 17" BBS LM I need to fit properly on a 1992 E30 convertible? No aftermarket body kits/updates. The suspension is currently stock, but I am planning on Bilstein shocks with H&R springs in the near future.

Also, any idea where to find a set finished in gold with a polished lip?

Thanks for any and all help!
