      17x9 et50 rs349

      With the 18mm adaptors

        Would 16x8 et35 5x120 wheels work with 18mm adapters? whats the widest tire I could run with rolling, rather not pull the fenders. Also, i am very low.....

          15x8 BBS RM fitment on E30

          hey Im new here, and im sure this has been answered but I cant find it via the search....

          looking at buying a 92 325ic

          lowered on h&r/bilstein

          I have a set of BBS RM 15x8 ET14

          I believe 205/50/15 would be best for this car, question is, will I need spacers and what size spacers should I get?

          any pics would be awesome.

          thanks!

              Want a meaty tire on the back, on a 16x9 or 16x8, et20 or et0. Which is the best wheel/tire combo, and What's the biggest I can get away with with a good bit of roll and maybe pull?

                "OK this might get complicated. Collecting all my suspension parts and wheels and its almost complete. Its a late model touring with Ground Control E30 5 lug swap kit up front. Z4 rear hubs pressed into the e30 trailing arms which I have been told move the hub out 2.5mm but I dont know if the GC kit changes anything up front. I have 17x8 ET38 wheels. What is the best tire size to use with out rubbing and not that much of a stretch and what spacers would I need. Its going to be lowered for street driving but nothing ridiculous. Thanks"

                Ok so if my research is right the front is pushed out 12mm on each side and the rear is 2.5mm out with my set up. so 17X8 et38 and I was thinking 15mm rear spacers and roughly 5mm front? and 205/45/17 or 215/40/17? Sorry if this is a little complicated

                  I have an 88 325iC lowered on Bilstein springs and shocks - so it's a little lower than the Bilstein/h&r setup- with 15x8 et 22 wheels and 205/50r15 tires. You definitely don't need spacers anywhere, the rears will sit nice and flush and the front shouldn't rub anything and will also be very flush with the body.

                  IMO you should be good to go with that setup you have without spacers but Mystikal is the expert.

                      Late model e30, IE3's and Billy sports with one coil cut off the front, rolled front fenders, slightly pulled and rolled rears. Need to know the biggest tire I can fit with some 16x8 et 12 wheels, thanks.

                      That is all.

                        Hi Guys,
                        I've looked all over this thread and can't find my exact situation. I have a '93 vert with M52 on Bilstein Sports and H&R Sport springs. Putting 16x8 ESM-002r (+20 offset) on. I want the biggest tire that won't rub and without fender roll. I don't like the stretched look. What's best? Also will I need spacers anywhere? Thanks in advance!

                                ^^ terrible. Fwd offset is to high might be ok with some 20mm spacers. Try 20 mm rear 15mm front
