Hey thanks again for the vote of confidence on they wheel purchase.

I ended up getting a set of 4
16x7 ET65 forged porsche wheels
I will be dropping the car by approx 1.5 inches via Bav auto cabrio specific springs
its an 88 vert with the low rear arches

My understanding if I DONT want stretch and i also DONT want to roll the fenders

I would need
205/50/16 tires ( or maybe a lil wider?)
45mm adapters front and rear

I want that nice wide muscle car look; like wide-track

Yeah, those specs are good.

But, then you won't have anything close to a "wide-track" look. For anything like that you'll need fender rolling. What I recommended is as aggressive as you can get with rolling.

Hi, Happy New Year.

I have a 316i M40 and i want to buy one of the following wheels :

15''X7 ET40
15''X7 ET12

with 205/55/15 tyres.

Which one will fit my car without any problem?

THANKS!!!

The ET12 version. That's a nice fit.

I've got 2 sets of 15x7 wheels with ET27 (Kosei K1's and MSW Type 21 basketweaves). Think I'd be ok with 225/45-15's?

Yeah that should be fine. Plenty of guys run 225/50/15 on the Koseis, the 45 should only help.

Unless you're talking R-comps, in which case strut clearance will get a little tight.

How about a decent tire for a 13x4.5 wheel?

lol I haven't a clue. The only tires I see are 165/65/13 or 165/70/13, and the few choices in each are all super high mileage economy tires. Can't really go wrong with any of them.

You didn't mention width. A 16x9 at ET25 has the potential for a lot more dish than a 16x7 ET0.

But in any case, the only way to fit deep dish 0 offset wheels is to run stretched tires and have the car slammed to the ground with rolled/pulled fenders. Definitely not a bolt-on procedure.

I was looking at 16x9 where can I find a picture of pulled fenders to see how it changes the look of the E30?

Or if I do the 16x9 ET25 with alot of dish, with the car slammed, what wheels would be the best to suit those specs?

For pics, search the forum?

16x9 ET15 is the common size, and there are a bunch of choices. Start at www.tunershop.com

15mm spacers and matching bolts. I think that's 60mm or so. www.turnermotorsport.com is a good source.

P.S. it shows that I edited your post because I clicked edit instead of quote. My bad. :p

I think the first wheels come from a VW and the second from a BMW E21. :loco:

They're not too small, but they do not have hubcentric lips. It makes balancing the wheels on the car much more difficult, and I never recommend such a setup.
