Hey Jay,

I need Hubcentric Rings that go from 72.6 to 57.1. Is that too much? Is there a dangerous point with Hubcentric Rings? Does any one make Rings with that range? Do you know if i can get them with 25mm spacers? Thanks again.

You'd run 205/45/16 all around at the most, and roll/trim the arches. Nothing out of this world at all really, the rears will be about flush with the iX flare.

Call Discount Tire Direct for availability. And no, that's not dangerous.

Yeah, you can get custom spacers made too.

Where could I get custom ones made? Also, would I need longer lug bolts with 25mm spacers? Thanks again.

A couple of questions mystikal.
Im going to look at a set of 15 inch weaves later this week.
Is there an easy way to tell the difference between euroweaves and just the ix weaves, while they are on a car(318i)?
I noticed in pictures they have bbs center caps so im leaning towards euroweaves.
The only way ill buy them is if they are euroweaves.
? #2 = Im pretty low. I tuck tire all the way around on 195/50/14's
And i plan on going lower.
What size tires should i be looking at for the euroweave?
I would like to go 215 at least. is that possible?. Have no problem getting the fenders rolled.
im reall only interested to know if i can go wider than a 215. (maybe 225). And if so what profiles should i be looking for in each size?
Thanks man.

I am about to order a set of wheels, they are 16x8 0 offset

thanks guys

I've had a set of RM's since the early 90's that were on my MK2 Scirroco that i would like to re-ring and refinish. I have a 92 318i vert and plan on running on some HR races and Billies Since i love the staggered look , the ideal plan for me is 1" rings on the front and 1.5" rings in the back bringing them to around F 15x7 ET26, R 15x7.5 ET20. I would like to run F 205/50-15 , R 225/50-15. Will the rears rub with a little bit of rolling? How about alot of rolling?

Option 2 is 1" lips for 15x7 ET26 all 4 corners and either 225/50/15 all around or F 205/50-15, R 225/50-15. With 225's all around , any issues up front?

Thanks
Glen

'89 325i coupe. Will 16x9 et 25 all the way around work fairly easily?

[rneedham1979]

Ok guys... i am planning on trying to stuff 255 50 16's or 245 45 17s on the back of my E30. I will be doing extensive fender rolling. Can one of you wheel geniuses tell me what 16x8 or 16x9 wheel I should run and at what offset etc?

Thanks!

I have a set of 17X10 +22, 17X8.5 +16 Work VS-XXs on my car right now. No tires yet, but they're coming. The rears really should have been +20, they BARELY touch the trailing arm. I am going to trim the seam on the trailing arm a bit and see how that looks with tires, but I have 3, 4.5 and 6mm spacers that I can use if need be...

However, my fitment is FAR from stock.

OK, I'd like to know what the better tire options are for a staggered set of wheels :

fronts: 16" x 7" et11
rears: 16" x 8" et20

What's out there for a set of 4 street tires?

I don't have the names handy, just search the forum / web. And yes, longer bolts.

Euroweaves came with BMW centercaps stock. Just remove the centercap and read the offset stamping. Should be 24 and not 41.

225/50/15 will fit easily.
