17x8.5 ET13 all round
Will be on H&R race/Billy Sports / E30 M3 gear.
Thinking 205/40/17 and a fender roll f/r should see me right?

215/40 will fit with a good fender roll, have to run a 5mm spacer in front for that wheel. I have 2 sets of those same wheels.
Going onto early or late rear fender arch? With that same suspension setup I am getting some rubbing on the rear with that tire size and late model rear archs. Dont want to go down in tire size, so looking to go with coilovers and stiffer springs to prevent rubbing on throttle and through hard turns.IG: @Baye30

Late model arches. I'm running the 8.5 ET17 rear on a 215/40 right now (see sig) and it rubs slightly.
That the same suspension setup in your sig?

Mystikal, I found a unique set of 15s, here are the dimensions rqst help again;
15X9.5
4x100
there is an option for offset, which is best 15 or 25? I'm thinking 15?
And which tire would be best?
Spacers needed?My old Style 5 Thread / My Swap
