I'm going to start looking into finding some 15" wheels in the next couple of years. I DD my E30, and I enjoy giving her a good run here and there, but I don't do anything really dumb and I don't track the car. It's an 86 Eta, stock suspension. At this point, no plans to lower or anything - I live int he country with snow, lowering doesn't seem to be a good idea.
What tire size would be good for my E30? And what size of 15" rim... 15X7? Would the offset still be the same at ET33? What is that in millimeters, BTW, as some people express the offset in mm instead of ET #.
I've gotten to know my E30 pretty well, but this is one area of cars I find confusing because there is a lot of numbers thrown around.
Thanks!

I'm getting an e30 soon that has the 5 lug swap from an e36 m3 and was curious what the widest width and offset wheels I can run are. The car also has pretty aggressive fender flares. For shits and giggles I'm looking at a staggered pair of 17x10.5 et26 17x11 et19 BBS rs wheels posted here http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=320782Last edited by Sevorith; 09-09-2015, 04:19 AM.

I'm not a huge fan of stretch and like the fact that the 225 is a fat tire with plenty of grip, but i'm not sure as to how much rolling they'll actually need, which concerns me.
