I think you've asked this 3 times, I answered the first one...

Sorry about that, I missed it.

Thanks!

205/40 and a fender roll are necessary.

Seeing if this is a possible combo.
16x7 et22(approx) 5x120 looking to run them on a 4 lug e30
What adapter would I need or is this even possible?
If so what do I need

It's possible but not ideal. The wheels will be pushed right to the edge. Use 18mm adapters and 195/50 tires, roll the rear fenders.

I just purchased a set of 16x8 ET 37 wheels. Does anyone have a photo of this size wheel installed on a e30? Also do I need any spacers for a clean fitment? Also would 225/50-16 work?

So today, I am ordering a set of 3SDM .05's.
They are 16x8(et25)
I want a little meat, but I don't want the tires to be too tall, I want some opinions on what size tires I should order. Pretty hype about this setup!

Needs 15mm spacers to clear the suspension. You can run 205/50, 215/45, 225/45 (last one with a rear fender roll on an 88+ car).

Buy 3mm front spacers (can use your stock bolts for this). This is needed for clearance.

225/45 is ideal.

Needs 15mm spacers to clear the suspension. You can run 205/50, 215/45, 225/45 (last one with a rear fender roll on an 88+ car).

Is 15 the minimal to clear the calipers?

Early model e30. Planning on running coilovers and looking at wheels and tires. Will need traction and rolling fenders are not an issue.

Wheel size I'm looking at (would like to keep square)
16x8 +20
16x9 +20

225/45/16 the widest I can run?

Late model lowered on coilovers. Going to be running 15x7 with a final offset of -30. Looking for a beefy stance. Granted i will have to do some fenderwork but just looking for a ball park figure at least. Was shooting for a 225/50 but the rims poke a little more expected so i dont think that'll work. Any opinions are helpfull. Thanks!

Struts, not calipers.

Yup. Use the 16x8 all around. No spacers. Will only need a minor roll depending on ride height.

Those wheels do not fit at all. Not even close.
