You failed to mention how big the wheel is, and I'd need to know the offset too.

Yea my fault they r 15x8 i believe

[Mystikal]

will 255-40-17's fit on back? (8.5" m contour on a 328i lowered on h&r sports) there seem to be more options in that size

It'll be very, very close. Yeah, the stock setup cuts it that close.

Need to know offset.]
+15 and +20.;)

Are you asking which one? 16x9 +15 with small spacers is the most popular wheel setup around, search for pics if you want to see how it looks. 205/45/16 is good.

[Mystikal]

Thats funny you say that. I just picked up the deal of the month.
I got 4 used kdw 2's with 60-70% tread in 235/40 for 75 dollars DELIVERED. haha. So if they don't fit, which i trust you that they will, then i will just sell them. Thanks for all the help man. Look for some pictures once they get fitted!!

Fuck off. If you were local I'd give you $300 for those right now. Nice snatch.

15x8 RAs? Never seen those. And I still need to know the offset of the wheels.

Optimal tire would be a 245, but you're not fitting that on an E30 without a lot of work. I'd also need to know the offset of the wheels.

Ok. I tried to read the whole thread, but 173 pages just overwhelmed me.

So, question. I have an 87 325IS with rolled fenders to accommodate wide wheels/tires. I'm trying to stuff the widest thing possible under it - 245s preferably (this is a track car only). What is my best option for wheels? These are Hoosiers going on them. Previous owner ran 16X9s, but I forgot to ask make, offset, etc. Now I'm not sure which ones to get.

Thanks.

16x8.5 et of about +6. This is all around. I don't think there's much choice other than a 205 front, unless you want mad ugly square shouldered poke.

[ukrbmw]

I don't care how it looks - on track they should perform well. 205 is not enough, need more tire.

[rcfanatic]

I have Enkei Zuko's that I just purchased, 16x7 and ET40. I'm trying to decide on whether to get 15mm spacers front and 20mm in the rear, or 20mm all around. With the 15's up front, it's a tad cheaper and might look better. 20's all around keeps with the stock track of the front and rear. Opinions? In the big scheme of things it's only 1cm difference. Has anybody noticed any sort of difference in handling, having driven both setups?


Thanks,
Adam

[driftabryan]

is there a way to make a 5 lug into 4 lug?

[ThaiRacer]

How about 17x9 +20 will it rub? There falken Hanabi's n im thinking about getting a set. Will i have to worry about the Hub diameter? Also how does 215/40/17 in the fronts n 205/40/17 in the back with a 10mm spacer. Are what would u recommend for tire size?

[E30Beast2B]

I was thinking of getting some 16x8 offset 20 with some 225/45/16 BFG Geforce KDW on a 87 325is lowerd on bilstein sports and H&R race springs. Will i have any issues? or should it fit?
