      Will 16x9 et15 with 245/45/16 front and rear with flares work? Worried about rubbing on the front strut. Fender liner will be removed as well.

      Thanks,
      Ian

            Jay, tricky question

            I have a set of wheels under my bed.
            vw fitment 5 x 100. minor issue.

            17x10j et32
            17x8.5 et35
            what would it take to fit these on an e30 late model?
            I have a selection of hammers and grinders and I'm not afraid to use them

            what is the best way out?

            P.s.
            tx for the great thread, trying to get through it all

            Jay, I have been pondering this fitment for a while now. if I redrilled the hubs for 5 X 100, wouldn't need adapters, only regular spacers, what would you suggest if that were the case.

              15x7.5 et0. Looking for a meety fitment. I'm lowered all the way (in the front) with race land coil overs. What do you think is a ball park size? I'm currently running 195/50 on 16x8 et0 in the rear and same tire with et20 in front.

                  I can confirm that everything is good except for brake clearance, which I can't say one way or the other.

                      No, will rub. 205/50 is a better choice.

                          20mm front spacers, 10mm rear. You'd effectively be redrilling solely to get 8mm worth of tuck in the rear offset. But at an effective +22, the wheels would fit relatively easily.

                            The offset is too low to use a meaty tire. 195s are already pushing it on +0 wheels.

                                Will 225-45-16 tire fit my rear with 16x10 et11? my rear fenders are rolled flat
                                You suggested a 225-40-16 before but that size is impossible to find, I also feel that 215-45 or 215-40 will work but I like tire selection at 225-45 what do you think?
