ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread

1991 318is, H&R pro or race. Willing to do minor fender rolling. I want the most tire possible.

Questions:

1. Can I run Continental race slicks sized 225/40/17 all around (these run wide…near 245 width)? If so-what width/offset 17 (they run square-ish on 8-9” wheels).

2. I want to run the most street tire on n 16s or 17’s. What sizes/offsets to get most tire with my setup.

Thanks!

17x8 +25. Same answer to both.

Still a bit too tall for the front if you're lowered. I'd recommend 185/60 or 195/55.

Running mismatched is okay? 185/65 rear, 185/60 front?

Excellent - thanks for the info- hopefully I can make this work!

Won't fit at all, too aggressive on the fender.

So if I had a 16x9 with a 245/35 what back spacing would I need?

[ajD4bmw]

Get 205/50s.

Would 215/45 fit as well?

edit: So my final question is would 16x8 et20 with 215/45-16 kumho ecsta xs all around fit? Car is an 89' on IE3's. Thanks!

You will need spacers if not now, when you replace your brake pads. If you like the look of that car copy it, 10mm spacers all around and 205/45s is a good combo.

So I wouldn't have to pull the fenders at all?

I want to run 17x8.5 et30 all around. What can I do to be able to do this? thanks

Hey guys I would really appreciate some help, I just bought a pair of enkei or52 16x7, et 42 with 205/45s.

Now, I'm wondering if I can run these without spacers temporarily. My stock wheel/are about to pop. So I want to put my new tires on ASAP, will I get any rubbing on my struts?

Eventually soon I plan to get 20-25mm spacers all the way around!

Going on a 90 325i

What size and et wheels would fit for my lowered ix?

Yeah that's fine.

+25 offset, rear only.

Yup!

Nope. At worst a very minor real roll if the car is low and soft.

10-15mm spacers all around (for strut clearance) and 205/40 tires.

They will rub the struts.
