    Thanks! If i squared the 16x9 et 20 all around do you think it would still need spacers?
    Also, spacers, are they recommended? If i could avoid them i would prefer it

      16x9s make the issue worse. Spacers are perfectly safe, go 3mm to ensure no vibrations.

        Thanks, you da man! :)
        the spacers would be something like this right? http://www.amazon.com/4x100-UberTech.../dp/B00DNND56M

        Also, in terms of fenders i am in the clear? No rolling needed?

          Yeah those are perfect. You can re-use your stock bolts too. 100% no rolling with 205/45s all around, might need a little work for 215/45 if it's loaded up with weight.

            Yeah i'm gonna go with 205/45's
            Thanks so much, you helped me a lot! A fender roller is really hard to get by in my country, i only found one shop that has one, and it's in another city, so i really would like to avoid rolling.

            PS: the spacers i sent you previously don't ship to my country, i'll have to go with these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-3mm-Hubc...gAAOSw7I5Ts-9p
            Still work the same right?

                I was thinking that 165 tires would look stupid, pics did not disappoint! Doesn't say how big the adaptors are, depending on final offsets it's gonna look really dumb.

                  Yes lol the tires would be gone ASAP if I got them, I know my car would work mint with 16x8 and 16x7 staggered because I had 16x8's on it square and it just barely rubbed in the front, with about twice as much tire. The adapters are relatively thin I will post a link

                  High performance parts made in the USA including exhaust systems, air intake systems, wheel spacers, wheel adapters, oil catch cans, and more.


                  It would be too much + offset right?

                    I'm sure its been answered,but I'll ask. I picked up some ESM 16x8et20 and am leaning toward 225/50, will the wheel extend farther than the rubber? Also, I'm debating buying some voghtlands with a 2" drop, if I do, will I need to roll my fenders?

                      And I complain about being a Canadian car enthusiast (maybe 10-20% of stuff isn't available here). 205/45s should work well for you. Those black spacers are also fine.

                        Depends on the adapter thickness. If they're on a MK1 the adapters might not be thick enough for E30 fitment.

                          Straight up don't fit. 205/50, 215/45, 225/45. Fender roll for the last one.

                            there is to much info to sort through on here lol. Sorry if its be asked before but any chance this set up will work and not rub? I believe Im running 205/55/15 now and would like to switch the tires over if I can

                            car: 89 325i on bavauto spring (1 1/4 drop) and E90 drop hats up front
                            Wheels: 15X7 et12 all the way around

                            Comment


                              ^that doesn't rub at all. I'm running 15x7 +12or +15 on 205/50/15. Lowered on lowtec 60/50 springs. Non rolled fenders.

                                Sorry to bother again, but could i add e90 drop hats to my setup to lower the front a bit more, and still fit ?
