Alright, lets try this again... the right way.
1987 325es
Final tire choice:
Toyo R888 in 255/50r16
Wheel can be a 16x8 or 16x9.
Would like to avoid flares, but will be doing some SERIOUS fender pulling/modding/shaping.
What's the best offset?Last edited by AWDBOB; 03-16-2014, 01:54 PM.

I'm wondering what the lowest offset I can safely run 225/45/16 on 16x7.5 wheels. Would et07 be rub city on the front?

Specs:
16x7.5
et 20
225/50/16
10mm spacer
The tires are obviously too tall, but the pacing doesn't look to be bad.

Looking into a new setup for autoX this summer. Car is an 87 325is, GC coils that are currently way too low but will be fixing that.
I know 15x8 TRM C1's with 225/45 Hankook RS3's are a tried and true combo, they require just a bit of fender rolling, correct?
Also looking into 15x9's, wheel in particular is 15x9 et15, again with 225/45 RS3. What sort of spacers/fender work would that require? Thanks.

Hey,
I'm looking to a set of RM's. Just wondering which offset will get me flush with the fenders - 3" lips et1 or 2.5" lips et14. Or is staggered the preferred method?
EDIT: Nevermind, sorry I should have searched THIS thread before asking - looked through google and other threads. I now have my answers.
Thanks!Last edited by JRYE30; 03-17-2014, 02:12 PM.
