    Forgot to I add there will be camber plates and rear camber adjusters. Would 215/40/17 work all around?

          Why is it so hard to find 16" tires???? Are dealers "HOARDING" them for something or what????

          Front: 16X8/ET6 and Rear: 16X9.5/ET13

            Looking into buy wheels. Ideally I was searching for 16x8 et0 but only +10 and -3 are offered. What setup would be more friendly with just a fender roll? I'm not looking to go for much of a stretch look.

            E30 is on coilovers

              With like 6 degrees of camber maybe. Otherwise, with even natural rear camber which I always assume (which can get to 3 to 4 negative), not a chance.

                Probably not. Never seen the flares though.

                  They don't sell as they don't fit much. 205/45 front and 215/45 or 225/40 rear.

                    +10 is perfect. 205/45s all day.

                                Hey Jay tire size question + spacer question for you. Ok here's the setup:

                                e30 convertible
                                slight drop on h&r sports/bilstiens
                                5x120
                                16x8
                                et23

                                What's going to be the best tire size given offset and wheel fitment? My goal is the avoid fender rolling and avoid the stretched tire look while keeping as close to the original diameter - 24" as possible. My possible ideas are: 225/45/r16, 215/45/r16, 205/15/r16. I'm assuming I also may need a small 5mm spacer to pull this off to begin with.
