95 m3 will a 18x9.5 et 22 fit with out a pull all the way around ? Was thinking a 225/45

Only with 215/35 tires. Way too aggressive for real rubber.

'89is h&r sports with blisteins shocks, 4x100 BBS RM 0012 15x7.5 et20 fronts and 15x8.5 et8 rears, will these fit without rolling the fenders,if so will they poke out a lot? i want a bit of aggressiveness but i dont want to look weird with my tires sticking out....help!!
thanks in advance!

The rears are more aggressive than what you are looking for. Would need 205 tires stretched along with fender rolling/pulling.

I might have to bother you again,i will keep looking for a set of wheels that can give me the look im looking for without any crazy mods... Any sugestions on wheel size? Im not oppose to going 16" but i cant go bigger than that... Not my style!!
Thanks

So I needs some help. I'm considering some BBS RS' 16x8 +21. My concern is that they'll be too aggressive. I really don't want to run a super stretched tire and modify my fenders too much. I'd really like some meat on the tires bc my wife will be driving the car. The car it'll be going on is a 91 Mtech Vert.

Another option will be a set of RS' in 16x7 +33. My concern with this set is that it will be way to sunken in and I really want to avoid using spacers.

Which wheel would be a better option?

Any help or insight will be much appreciated.

Anything up to 8" wide with the offset between +15 and +23 will bolt up and look great.

I think the 16x8s will be perfect. Look up pics of a 205/50 on a 8" wheel, it surprisingly has zero stretch to it and maybe even a tiny bit of bulging. These will fit without fender mods, protect the wheel lips sufficiently, and there are actually tires available in the size still (thank you OE Volvo/Saab/Prelude fitments).

Thanks bro! You're the man!

Sweet thanks for the help! The other option is a et35 could I pull off a 225/40?

Excellent thread, Mystik. 8 years of fitment help and counting!

I'm looking to switch things up a bit. I am currently running 16s and fitment is as such:



I would like to go to a 17" wheel. I prefer a "girthy" appearance from the rear, as opposed to a smaller width wheel with spacers to flush it out. I would like to achieve a fit similar to this:



What width/offset/tire combination would you recommend to achieve my goal? Does anyone recognize the second car as a member here? Eg. - 17x8et25 acceptable?

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

Klutch SL1 - Anyone able to comment on fitment upfront with a 16x8 et15? Did you need a spacer, what is brake caliper clearance like? I'm trying to figure out whether they have enought to clear a BBK by using 8mm max spacer.

[mmmb00st]

Edited my inquiry. Typo. 8" not 9".

[Mystikal]

Sweet thanks for the help! The other option is a et35 could I pull off a 225/40?

Yup, wouldn't even need rolling.

am i going to have strut clearance issues with 225/45R16 tires on 16x8 et25 wheels?

Yes. 3mm front spacers are needed.

That's Jordan's old E30. I think he was running 18x8.5 square with something like 245/35 front 255/35 rear. It rubbed from what I recall.

17x8 +25 is ideal. You can run this with 235/40/17 tires with just a fender roll.
