    You'll need a noticeable stretch to fit those. Think 205/45/16s all around with an aggressive fender roll.

      They will be slightly sunken in, yeah. If you use 15mm spacers all around they will look a lot better.

        That's a tough one. The rear will require heavy rolling, but if you flatten it out you should just be okay.

          15x7 ET13 wheels with 205/50R15 tires on IE3 with early model arches? (They're E21 fitment)

          Will the rears rub? Will the front lips be flush with the fender?

            I have mine rolled now for 16x9 ET15's with 215/40/16's now. I'm more worried about the front, will the fronts fit flush or will it poke out some?

            Responded to your PM also, basically the same question.

            Thanks

                205/50/15 on a 15x8 et 30 wheel + a 10mm spacer, am I ok? The car will be slammed sufficiently.

                  want to confirm this with experts.

                  16x9 et 20 all around. I will need 8mm spacer up front and 5mm spacer up in back.

                  I have 16x9 et 15 all around now. I have 3mm spacer up front. Its pretty flushed in rear. Front may need little fender rolling to get to flush but it doesnt rub.

                  So 8mm up front and 5 in back sound right?

                    It shouldn't rub, but make sure they clear the calipers. Lots of those E21 wheels have very little inner clearance.

                    The front won't be quite flush, but will still be aggressive.

                      They will be just barely past flush. They'll fit very nicely, IMO.

                        Yup that's fine. Anything bigger than a 205 will need fender rolling.

                          Your math is correct.

                            I'd recommend 20mm spacers on the front, 15mm spacers on the back, 215/40/17 tires front, 215/35/18 tires rear.

                            By no means a cheap setup, but it'd look pretty damn good.
                            wont be cheap at all.. thanks a bunch man, you really are the shit..
