    Think I could fit 225/50/16s on a 16x9 et 15 under a late model vert with some rolling? Having trouble finding decent 225/45/16s.

    Thanks in advance!

        Too low of an offset to run a stock diameter tire. 205/45s would be perfect.

              16x8.5 et+14 (originally +24) all around with 10mm spacers. 205/45R16 all around.

              Car is a late model coupe on the GroundControl coilover conversion kit so it wont be slammed.

              Can you tell me what my clearances will be? Will i run into any wheel/tire travel issues with the arches?

                Haha thanks. I'm in the same boat, running a discontinued (265/40/17) Z1 SS size. When they're finally dead I'll have to downsize a bit. Womp womp.

                  Just need a rear fender roll. Tight but safe. There's a small range of what I call "perfect fitment" and those land right in the middle.

                      Yeah I changed routes going with 16x8's all around et10 offset. 5mm spacer in the front and 3mm in the back. I'll probably go with H&R super sports springs still debating on the race springs. Whenever I get them I'll just phone book the fenders ahaha.

                        Oops so the 16x8's will be et25. The 16x9's will be et15. Aside from spacers will I run into any other issues?

                          Can I get a set of 15x7.5 with a 32 offset to fit my 89 325i lowered on h&r race springs?

                          I don't mind spacers but fender rolling is out of the question.

                          Cheap safe choice: 3mm front spacers, keep everything else
                          Better safe choice: 15mm spacers and extended bolts all around

                          This pretty much answers my question, but I'd like to run at least a 205 wide tire. I'm looking to buy a set of Konig Rollers - same specs as essi1553.

                          Just a matter of more wheel spacer?

                            Any tire recommendations brand wise for 16x8/16x9, very limited selection in 205/45, 215/45, or 225/40/16 the sizes that were recommended before.

                              15mm front spacers and 205/45 tires all around to clear everything nicely.
