My fenders were rolled to fit 235/40r17 with 17x8 et25. How bad will 225/50r16's be on 16x8.5 et14-19ish and 16x9 et18?
Edit: what about 215/50r16's?

255/40/17 with flares. They will apparently fit, but:
1. Will I have to change diff ratio to compensate for the slightly increased rolling diameter, and
2. Will it be undriveable with no power steering and an E36 rack
-edit-
Also, will 235/40/17 fit on unrolled fenders on my 1990 iS? They should be what, like a 30 something offset? Or will I have to rollLast edited by econti; 06-01-2014, 07:48 PM.

Hi Jay,
I currently have a stock suspension on an 89 vert and I want to run a staggered set of ESM-003s
I dont really want to roll fender lips.
ET: 25mm
Front: 17x7
Rear: 17x8.5
Will I need spacers?
What Tires can I run?
Can I even think about a small drop in height or changing tire diameter to fill the wheel wells?
Thanks

2. No
235/40 will only fit without a roll with staggered wheel offsets (17x8 +25 front +30 rear).

Once you drop it you will likely need a minor rear roll. Very minor.

Currently running Borbet 15x7 et 25. Would a 15 x7 et 38 work. If so, what tire size would do well. 91 318is, non rolled fenders, Bilsteins and H&R. Thanks in advance.
Also, would these et 38 rims transfer to a 1976 BMW 2002. Currently running 15 x 7 et 20. Suspension is Ireland Engineering Stage 1.
