Question: How wide of wheels can I fit without fender modification? I've seen people stuff 17x8 front and 17x9 rear. I am going for square setup, so maybe 17x8 front and rear? Then leads the question, recommended tire size? And which offset of wheel should i shoot for?
Thanks ahead of time Jay!

So buy a full set of 10-15mm spacers and run 205/40 tires.Originally posted by dvckI'm going to say this nicely; go fuck yourself.

Sorry I have another question:
I'm also looking to purchase 17x8 Apex ARC-8 et25 and I plan to run 20mm spacers to clear my BBK I have BC Racing coilovers and want to know if they will fit and what modifications are required for them to fit. Please let me know and what size tire can I run?
Btw the car is an 84

Jay, what's a decent tire in 205/50/16 that doesn't have a super tall sidewall? I've got 204/45 Federals right now, and I really don't like them much, plus it's getting close to tone for new tires. Along with that, I'd like to fill my wheel wells a tad more, but the 205/50 Feds I had on there before looked gargantuan. What do you recommend? The looks of a tire are important to me. Thanks!

What is best ET to use?
1989 325I Lowered on HR Sports with Bilstein Sports. Picked up a set of 4x100 to 5x120 18mm adapters. I have a couple of 5 series rims that I thought I could use, I added the 18mm instead of subtracting. So I am guessing they will be "Hella Flush" with a ET2? I am assuming most E36 rims will work, starting with around 40mm offset, then spacers netting about 20? Am I looking at this right?sigpic
