Which measurement is throwing me off?

Et10. I run 15x8 et22 and on the right driveway my front right will scrape the fender a little bit.

et 20 is the sweet spot on 8's......

So a 10mm spacer should cure this correct? At et10, will I rub without rolling fenders?

Stock fenders?

Stock fenders. Once I roll them it'll be fine and I'm pretty low on Bilstein sport springs and shocks

Sorry for repetitive questions, but what your opinion on spacers? If I'm understanding offsets right, I'm too far in at et10, what is an ideal offset for me, 8 wide, without fender work?

Other way around. Et20 is more conservative than et10 - et10 stick out further.
Without fender work, I wouldn't go further than around et20.

Thanks, I've been thinking wrong the whole time... No wheel/tire knowledge at all so it's a crash course of learning since I decided to make a change...which sucks cause I love the shakotans :(

These links should answer any questions you have on wheels.

looking for a good tire recommendation. There seem to be far fewer options in my current tire size.

I am running a set of DForce LTW5 15" wheels. My current tires are 225/50/15

Street driving only, what size/brand/model tire would you recommend?

In terms of 225/50r15, there aren't many tires available. 205/55r15 is the same approximate diamter, and there are many more options. http://www.tirerack.com/content/tire.../homepage.html is probably the best place to find what tires are available and you can check any size you wish.

No answer for my above question? Where is Mystikal when you need him?

I have some 16x8 etc 23 and 16x9 et 14, I'd like to put on my car. I'm looking to add a 15mm spacer to the 16x8 and a 10mm spacer to the 16x9.
What's the biggest tire size I could run, to have minimal rubbing under the fenders. My fenders are already all rolled and I'm coil overs with camber plates.

Looking at a set of BBS RS from ewheelworks
16×9″ et0 (new 3″ lips)
16×9.5″ et3 (new 3.5″ lips)
Is this setup too aggressive for an E30?

1990 325i, BC Coilover suspension. Enkei m1 16x7 +42 offset, 205/50 Yokohama S drives. How's the fitment? What would I need to clear struts?

Yes, et0 does not work on an E30 without fender flares.
