Hi all, I have a set of BBS RS 036 that are 4x114.3 and 15x7, and I believe they are et40, could I find adaptors? If so, where is a good place to look?

So I've got a bit of dilema.
I bought 16 x 7.5 rims ET 25. One of them is done for.
I have two that are on their way now, but they're an ET 38.
What spacer would you recommend I run?

so it seems like every1 who is running 16x9's is also running undersized tires. i want to know why i cant run a 225/45/16 tire on a 16x9 et7 front, and 16x9 et10 rear? and if its not possible, what is the closest to stock that i CAN fit. THANKS!IG: @Baye30
FRONT VALENCE IS ZENDER!!! STOP FILLING MY PM BOX PPL!!!

Yes, a 13mm spacer would be ideal!IG: deniso_nsi Leave me feedback here

What about for cars with 5-ug swaps? (on facelifted cars, '88+)
I am doing the E36 M3 fronts and Z3 rears, and I am told E36 offsets are what work for wheels. Assuming this is correct (et41), I'm hoping I can run...
215/45/R17 on a 17 x 7.5 wheel (~.5" taller than stock)
or
215/40/R17 (~.2" shorter than stock)
...without rolling . Rolling involves squishing the underside of the lip to a sharper crease or actually pushing the whole arch outward? I assume most people are just squishing the inner part of the arch flatter?
Thanks!

im wondering if i should do 45 or 50. and if i'll need hub rings or a stud kit or anything of the sort.
You will need hub rings, and your stock bolts will be fine.

Rolling is just squishing the lip, yeah. No visible difference from the exterior. The factory rear arches are half-rolled, take a look and you'll see what I mean.

I was thinking that 7mm or so more towards the fender linings (from the ~15mm larger diameter) wouldn't be too bad. You think it will rub too much?
195/65/R14 Overall Diameter: 23.98 in 609.09 mm
215/45/R17 Overall Diameter: 24.61 in 625.09 mm
215/40/R17 Overall Diameter: 23.77 in 603.75 mm
I have a car on front of me with the 215/40s and the sidewall is scary small for these roads around here.
