Do you think I'll have any trouble with the 15s and smaller tires? Thanks.sigpic

It's back to the ride height in the picture I posted previously. I kind of want to wheels to be more flush with the fender, I'm thinking of a 5-8mm spacer in the front and .5" lower and then a 15-20mm spacer in the rear and also .5-.75" lower (and probably use Condor Speed Shop Subframe Riser Bushings to mitigate changes in camber).
I don't want a slammed look, it's daily driven but I do appreciate a good stance and good tire life.
Also - would changing the dampening settings (firmer and not softer) prevent more rub on rough surfaces?
What are your thoughts?
PS- thanks for your advice so far. I appreciate it ;)

Originally posted by Azscentence View PostThis has probably been asked a million and one times, but I'm looking to run some 17x8 ET20 Style 5s with 18mm 5 lug adapters all the way around.
I'd be running these with GCCs and Koni's on a '91 sedan. I just have a few questions I can't seem to find answers for.
1.) I would like to know what size tire would fit well with minimal rubbing. From what I've seen, 225/40/17 seems like it would work well for the look I'm trying to get, but I can't find a store that sells that size online. maybe 225/45/17?
2.) How much poke (if any) would there be for 18mm all around. Am I going to have to roll/stretch out my fenders at all?
This (http://imgur.com/SrDxC13), and this (http://imgur.com/S3Ce8bt), is essentially the look I'm trying to get.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
All of this is theoretical as I haven't bought the wheels yet.

I have a question about getting a Japanese wheel to fit. It's a BBS RG-F, 15x7 ET42. I believe the centerbore is 82mm or something large.
Am I right in thinking the following would work:
- Get 57.1mm wheelcentric and hubcentric 20mm spacers (which come with extended lug bolts)
- Get the wheel rings that brings the wheel centerbore down from 82 > 57.1 so that it sits nicely on the spacer's lip
This should then give me a 15x7, ET22 wheel.
Any problems with this approach?

16" help
Hi all,
Looking at some Craigslist rims. Trying to figure out if they fit without spaces and no rubbing. So many combinations to try and search through.
1991 325i convertible, lowered
Rims are:
16x8" with 25 offset. Tires 205/45
I'm not finding much with that combination. Thanks for your help!
