Thanks jay! youre the man!

[Mystikal]

how do i make these fit?

Ive got a Vert on bavauto springs and billie sports

either set?

I'm still fighting myself to not get them. Wish they had the flat caps.

Just buy that staggered setup. Or, you can do the 16x9 all around with 10mm spacers at all 4 corners. But with the amount of lip on that 16x7.5, I wouldn't bother with the hassle.

As for tires, I'd just run 205/45/16 all around for simplicity's sake.

You could get away with it, just barely. I'd go that route.

I'm wanting to put 16x9 +8 up front and 16x10 +8 on my 325i...i'm going to use 195/45/16 up front but not sure what i'm going to need to use on the back. I am on GC coilovers with shortened housings..and yes i will be rolling and slightly pulling the fender lip as well...any recommendation for the rear tire?

awesome sopunds good,

I think ill get a staggered setup and the 10mm spacers at 4 corners. I'm not into rolling fenders so ill go with the lower profile tire that you suggested too.

Ill be powercoating them white.


should i go all white or white and keep the machined lip?

17x7.5 et 30.

Ive got some 5mm spacers lined up, i dont think i will need more?

What tire size would be best? Im not above a little stretch to keep from rubbing.

17x7.5 BBS LM's on E30 vert

I am wanting to put 17x7.5 LM's with a 225/40/17. The wheels are et40, and will be using a 15mm spacer. Will this combo have any fitment issues?

[D-rock]

215/40/16 is possible to mount, but it'd be an extreme stretch. I'd probably go with 225/40/16 for safety's sake, which is still an insane look.

I like machined/polished lips, personally. They really make the wheel pop, especially with stretched tires. You can see the rear lips while driving directly behind my M3. :D

Those are pretty much an ideal offset. You can actually go all the way to 235/40/17 without rubbing anything.

No fitment issues at all. However, there is only one 225/40/17 tire, and it's terrible. Either use a 215/40/17 or 235/40/17.
