I also need to get adapters, so I will probably be buying the thinnest adapters that 42draftdesigns has available. If somebody could please help me out with these asap, i'd appreciate it!

but, I am going with an m60, so, I want some wide tires to hold the power, also, I'm going with e46 m3 brakes and a 5 lug swap, so, I will need at least 17" wheels.
So, 17" wheels with the widest tire possible. The rear will remain at stock e30 placement, however, the front will be 12mm further outward from stock e30 placement due to the hub adapters.
I can raise the car if need be, but, I'm trying to run a 245 or 255 on the rear and a 235 up front...
what offsets can you recommend and are my tire size goals with 17s out of the question?
My rear fenders are already rolled, fronts can be if needed.
Thank you.
17x8.5 +30 245/40 rear

I should be able to fit 225s all things being equal, yeah?

Looking into building a set of CCW wheels and want to make sure I get things right from the beginning. Just picked up a 1988 325ic last night with an M30 swap. Hopefully you guys can lend some insight and see if i'm headed in the right direction.
What i'm thinking : 17" wheels, staggered fitment, minimal rubbing, minimal stretch
I was thinking 17x7 in the front with 1" lips, and 17x8 or 8.5's in the rear with 2 or 2.5" lips. from some reading it looks like my offsets need to be between 20 & 25 et. tire sizes recommendations would be great also.
Thanks in advance
Would also be interested in tire sizes for the same setup in 16's.
