Hi guys, I’m looking to fit re-drilled 16” 7,5 ET14 in the front and 16” 9 ET20 back on my -87. Alternatively I could go for 8,5 ET14 but as I understand it, it barely makes a difference. Got Eibach pro-kit lowered 40mm front and 30mm back. What tire size should I go for? Thankful for your input.

I am currently running 17x8.5 et 20 esm 002r wheels with 215 40 tyres all round. Running low but not what you call stanced. Have enough space to not rub at all four corners but the rim sits almost flush with the fender at this stage and if i go any lower without any camber adjustment, the rim may rub on the fender which I would like to avoid.
Considering the following wheels but the specs show that my rim will sit 15mm further out on fronts and i believe 23mm or so further out on the rears with the tyre specs below. Will this be an issue to install and run lower than now? My fenders are slightly rolled already. My plan was to purchase coilovers as I am currently on lowering springs and I have 0 caster control in the rear which means I may have to run camber to install this set successfully and make it work. Anyone have experience with this sort of fitment below and is it doable. Or should I avoid.. my aim is to install a set that sits nicely without too much work.
Red car is mine with its current ride height and esm wheels. the white is my friends ride with the wheel specs listed below that I am thinking of switching over to. Not sure he even made it work but he has coilovers and camber adjustment I believe..
Brand: BBS
Model: RS039
Tyres: New TOYO Proxies T1R 205/40 & 225/40
Pair / Set: Set
PCD: 4x100 and 4x114.3
Diameter / Width / Offset:
16x8.5 +5
16x9.5 +9
Regards

I've been on the hunt for reasonably priced BBS wheels for a while now.
I just picked up a set in need of refurbishment on craigslist. These are the Volkswagen BBS RM012s. I've ordered new hardware and 2 inch lips which brings these wheels to 15x8 all the way around.
In researching the sticky I found out that the wheels will be the following spec once I've installed the new lips.
15x8 et14.95 -- Now I need to figure out which spacers to use and what size tires to go with. I'd like to drop the car 2 inches max. Eventually.
Any suggestions on tire size? Would a 10mm spacer be the best way to go? Would I need longer studs?
Thanks in advance!65k 325i Automatic
