ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread
with 17x8.25 et25 wheels would 215/45's work? Would I need to roll my fenders just to get them to fit? If so, what would be a more preferable size (if there is one)?
Need some advice on what tires, here is the current setup
Wheels: 16x7.5 ET30 Borbet Type C
Car: 1987 325i Sedan
Modifications: Front Fenders Rolled, Rear Quarters still stock, Bilstein Sports, H&R Super Sport Springs
Current Tires: 205/55R16 Front, 225/50R16 Rear (long story on the stagger)
Looking at doing 205/50R16 Front and 225/50R16 rear, wondering what spacers i would need and if i would have to do rear quarter work (would love to do 225/50 all around)

Hello, Im looking at XXR 527 17's. I see that there are a few options. I like the idea of the staggered setup. 8.25 front et 25, and the 9.75 rear et25. What is the right size tires, i prefer max width. Also what spacers would i need. I really want wider tires for the performance.
So I just received a set of 16x8 et25 ( but ordered 16x8 et20) and before I send them back I was wondering what size tires I should run and will they work without rubbing? The car will be lowered 2"-3" max drop and I was looking at using 205/50/16 tires previously.
Will I need to do and rolling of the fenders or use spacers?
I want to go 16x9 et15 in the rear of my cabrio on H&R sport springs (for now). I want stock diameter (or slightly greater; my car has a 4.10 rear) and not too much of a stretch.
How can I fit 245/45? I'm also looking at 225/50 or 225/45. I can roll my fenders but not sure I want to pull them just yet. Thanks!

245/45 wont fit on a 16x9 et 15 it will rub. 225/45 could not sure about that offset. 225/50 is too tall.
I was doing more reading and it looks like a 245 is way too wide! However a 225/50 tire is 632mm tall compared to a stock 195/65 being 610mm. Which means fender gap is reduced by 11mm, less than half an inch. I'm on H&R sports, not low really. I don't see why the tire being 11mm closer to the fender would matter. I mean, lowering springs will produce more of a reduction in clearance. Is there another factor I should be thinking about?
Trying to do as much of an education guess as possible because I want to keep this setup for a while.
I have a 91' 318is, stock ride height. I was looking to put on Varrstoen DS12's in 15x8 et25. What tire size would work without fender modification or looking completely silly (I don't mind a slight stretch)? I was thinking tire sizes 205/50/15, 195/50/15 or 205/55/15? http://www.varrstoen.com/product/ds12-2/
What's up guys. I'm a noob in the wheel/tire game so looking for knowledge. Gonna be running 15x8.5 wheel with et17. Wondering what a good tire size would be to run without rubbing (don't wanna have to roll the fenders if I don't have to). My 325is couple is lowered a little on GC coils. Also wondering if I'm gonna have to run spacers.
