ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread

I have one question. Just got Keskin kt1 16x9. Could you help me how to fit them on my e30, what tires should i take, spacers, and stuff? 2 rims with ET15 and 2 with ET 25. Btw, i have iX fender flares, so it can not be rolled...
I was considering to use 225/40 rear, and 215/40 front tires, or maybe i should go with 215/40 all around?
Thx!

Put the ET15 wheels on the rear. Mount the ET25s up front with a 15mm spacer. 205/45 all around is best.

Thank you, i'll do it!
But isn't it ugly to put ET15 rear, and ET25 front?
One more question, if i put 15et with 5mm spacer at the front, and 25et with 10-15mm spacer on the rear, how it works, will it rub?
In the future i will probably remove iX fender flares, so i could roll fender and what setup you suggest then to make it look better?
Thank you once more, and im sorry for being annoying...

How about a 87 cabrio with oem body, e30 5 lug swap and coil overs ?

running 205/50/16 with 15mm front hub centric spacers due to bbk, but it only needs 6mm at most.

Thanks.

Wanting to run 17x8 et 35 ACS type1 with 20mm adapters. Lowered on Billy sports and low tec 60/50mm kit. Tires are summitomo 215/40's all around will it work?

225/45s at the tallest and with rolled rear fenders. Unless it's an early car then no roll.

Do early model cars have wider wheel wells?
I have a 1985 325e body with Hartge Type A 16x7.5 et25 wheels and would like to know the widest square setup (for tires) that I can use. From reading the forum it seems that 225/45/16 tires will fit except I don't know about the early model vs late model wheel well difference.

Thanks.

I have no idea what you're asking.

205/40s and it'll fit perfect. 215s will rub.

Yes, early cars have several mm more space for rear tires. But with either a late or an early car, your wheels can fit 225/45/16s all around without modification.

Jay, I will be switching to e30 M3 5-lug with 17x8 and 17x9 Style 32's (et20/26 respectively). I am decided on running 235/40 in the front. My question is what size to run in the rear with the 9". I would like to run a 245/40, but they are hard to match. Just FYI, I am heavily rolled in front with no fender liner and heavily rolled in rear with upper bump hammered out, so maybe 255/40 might work? Height adjustable as well on suspension with fairly stiff spring rates. Thanks for the help.

Great thread, finally registered to ask a question.

1991 318is, stock suspension and 17x7 et40 wheels with 205/40 tires. What size spacers would be best?

[mbonanni]

16x8 et 23 18mmf/20mmr adapters with 205/50. On coilovers with camber plates in the front.

IMO, nothing larger than a 215/40 will work up front. 235/40 rears is also pushing it.

Ideally, 25mm. But they're heavy and expensive. 20mm all around is good.
