[Danny]

17x9 et 20 = what tire size?

[onaquest]

what is the optimal tire size for 16x8.5?
suspension is billy sports & H&R race on a 1990 325

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.

forgot to mention et6

Wheel specs: 17X8 ET 22

Would I be able to fit these on a car with H&R race and billy sports without rolling fenders?

[ejnight]

could you make a -10 off set work in the rear and what tire? Yes I have a fender roller.

yoooo jay.
just wanted to thank you for your help.
The fronts (235/40/17) made it so i had to raise the front of the car up alot, probably an inch and a half. But i dont care about being low. I think it looks great!
I told you i would show some pics when it was done!
so heres the link tothe showroom thread

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.

If you hug the strut with a 16x9, then yeah 245/45/16 is possible with a lot of fender massaging. Think ET10 front or so, ET15 rear.

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.

That's a very aggressive offset. 205/45/16 all around would be my bet.

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

There will be no discernible difference, trust me. Go for the staggered, it does look better.

what would be the best setup if i pick up a set of ronal ls sz 15 x 7.5 ET25
im currently running 15x7 alpinas with 3mm spacers up front 205/50/15 on the tires. i want more tire

225/50/15 is perfect for those wheels.

[Mystikal]

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

What.

[Mystikal]

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?

You'll need spacers on the front to clear the struts. 5mm is enough.

I'd probably go 205/40/17 all around.

[Mystikal]

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?

You should be okay with the 87 quarters. Love those tires.

17x9 et 20 = what tire size?

All around, see 2 posts up.

Just the rear, 215/40/17 with fender rolling and no spacers.

56.1mm centerbore vs. 57.1mm centerbore. Honda ones are the smaller of the two. VW ones will mostly work.
