    I've got a staggered set of 15x8,9 et-9 that I'd like to go on a 91 318is. Is is worth trying to get these to fit? If so what tires?

      Wild guess here but those are gonna stick out a good bit, et ~+10 on an 8 is near flush in the front. So your front would be 20mm past flush and -9 on a 9 would be probably 30mm past flush ish rear. Tires would have to be small I'd think.

      Edit and you'd have to roll the piss out of your fenders.

        Just too low of an offset for an E30.

          Going to pick up a set of Enkei 98s that are 4x108. Are there 4x100 to 4x108 adapters that are specifically made for our E30s?

              What adapter would I need to run some 5x120 et 35, 17x8 wheels with a 72.6 CB. I already have 205 40 17 tires. I've seen some ppl with 20mm adapters, would that be ok? I'm rolled pretty well all around too.

              That is all.

                16x8 et 20. Has anyone tried running 215/50r16?
                I want to avoid stretched tires so trying to fit something wider than 205 under unrolled late model fenders with bilstein sports and h&r sports.
                Maybe better to roll the fenders and go with 225/45?

                    Cool. Thanks for the response! What suspension are you running? Rolled fenders?

                      I have fortune auto coilovers. My fenders are rolled but I really don't think it is needed. Note that the rears are 16x9 but with the same tire size.

                          Hello guys,

                          I have e38 style 5s that are currently being filled, drilled, and custom hub size. The bore size is being reduced to 57.1mm so I don't need to use hub rings.

                          My question is what is the widest tire I can fit on the front wheels?

                          I currently have basket weaves with 205s in the front and it is barely missing the front struts. Now to wear these wheels on my car, I would need 5mm spacers. And with an et23 I believe the biggest I can go up front is 215. Is this correct?

                          Also, what is the biggest I can go in the rear? 225? Car is pretty low, but not slammed.

                            I just bought 4 ESM 16X9 et15 wheels and I want to run 245/45/16s all round. I don't want to run flares. How hard will this be to accomplish? I assume there will be plenty of rolling and pulling to do. But the question is: Is it possible?

                              E30 5 lug swap.

                              e36 m3 up front; on shortened struts and ground controls
                              318ti rear
                              Wondering what i would need to do (spacer size) to fit these tire sizes comfortably.

                              Front - 17x7.5 ET41 with 225/45
                              Rear - 17x8.5 ET41 with 245/40

                              therefore, their value is much greater.

                                Hey guys I have been living in this forum, and google.

                                I'm interested to get the guru and the boards opinion for a good setup.

                                Car is an m50 swapped 88 vert. Suspension is H&R cab springs on yellow adjustable struts.

                                I want to run 16x8+15 & 16x9+15 what tire and spacers should I run?

                                Thanks,
