Just curious why you said 40s, I'm new at this and any input helps. I think 16's look good but I like a bit of rubber to reduce gap. I plan to sit about H&R race low.

I'll get you a picture of the stretch and camber wear. Both front and rear are a nice stretch, not over the top.
Tires are
205/40/16 Falken Azenis 615k
215/45/16 Federal SS-595
Switching to Federal 595 RSR in front since they are $80 vs $110 for the Falkens. the Federals are tread wear 180 AA and falkens are 200 AA so they should have similar grip.
The SS-595 is a great rear tire with good grip for $70. Horrible in the wet though. And even worse as a front tire. I'm gonna keep running them on the rear though.

Also keen eye from Mystikal. The car is 5 lug swapped with e30 m3 hubs and front spindle sleeves. so offset is changed in front and rear. Hubs are pushed out in the back ~2mm and 12mm in the front. Also running 3mm spacers in front to clear the brakes. effectively making the wheel offsets:
16x8.5 et -02
16x9.5 et 17
Here are pics of the stretch in the front
This is the camber wear
Also I have rear camber adjusters and the fenders are rolled. The tire just barely grazes the upper fender inside. Credit card gap. I think you may need rear camber adjusters to fit an equivalent 16x9.5 et 17 wheelLast edited by pandaboo911; 05-13-2015, 02:20 AM.

So I want to get a set of Rota Grid-V wheels in a 16x8 et0 size. The problem is the et0 only seems to come in a 67.1 hub bore, and I need 57.1 obviously.
I found these hub centric rings, http://www.ecstuning.com/ES2200627/?...FUOVfgodnxEAhA. But I've read a few places that plastic rings will melt after any sort of track time. My car is mostly a daily driver, but I still like to take it to the track every once in a while.
Anyone have any experience with these? I'm kind of set on the look of the Rota Grid-V, and I definitely want it in 16x8, but I just can't find that size with et0 and the right hub bore size.

Extended lugs
So I'm fitting 16x8 e38 style 5s to my e30. Getting them redrilled to 4x100 and using 10mm spacers all around. The wheels are et23 and after spacers will be et13. I heard I will need to get extended lugs and was wonder if anyone knew what specs the lugs should be. Thread size and length. Hoping to get my car fitted for bimmerfest on May 23 and was hoping someone could answer asap. Couldn't find amything when searching. Thanks!

This should have all the information you need! Looks like you'll need 57mm studs minimum to clear the 10mm spacers.
