So I rethought things and went 16X8 et20 wheels and was thinking 16/45/225 all round. Have a buddy with roller. And plan on painting the car so I'm not too worried about that. Is it possible? If so how hard. I hate to just ask here but there are just too many pages too look through haha.1990 S50 Calypso-rot 325i

I just need to know width and offset for what you've tried and I can convert the numbers from there. For example, will a 16x10 ET25 clear the TA?
TIA

Purchased a set of 16x8 et25 wheels, have 205/50 Michelin Pilot's... Going to be running a 10mm spacer to start front and back (stock wheels had spacers and longer wheel bolts, didn't think to buy shorter wheel bolts)
How would this set up be? Would it be more ideal to remove the spacers and just have the 16x8 et25 wheels on front and rear?
I'm currently lowered about 1.6-1.8 inches.
Thank you!!2016 F-150
