Very much still addicted to wheels like these (and they are pretty light). Is there any way to get these on my e30 318is?

Aha. So, assuming 20mm for the adapters, I'd be looking for a wheel with an offset around 30-40mm, correct?

Correct.

[Mystikal]

So im thinking of these, i have a early model e30 so = huge arches..... what would take to make these hella flush approved (im on gc's and bilie sport so hight can vary)... specs

16x8
et 34
front et = 5mm
rear et = 0mm

any help would be sweet!

Those offsets are good. Use 195/50 or 205/45 tires, in my opinion.

[Mystikal]

Time for number #38.

16x9 215/40
16x9.5 225/40

Again, late model car with coilovers. What offsets for a flush fit, fenders will be heavily rolled.

+10 front and rear.

How would I fit a set of BBS RX 16X7's and where is the best place to buy the lugs and spacers.

15mm spacers all around.

Turner Motorsport or ECS Tuning,

15x7 et27 Kosei K1's

Can I fit 225/50 Hoosiers? What about 225/50 street tires? I don't mind rolling the fenders, just trying to avoid spacers. I need to figure out if I am using these wheels for street or track tires. If I can fit 225's, they will be my track wheels. If I can only do a 205, they will be my street/wet track wheels.


EDIT: While I'm at it, 16x8 et20 Rota Slipstream

Currently running 205/50/16 Hankook z214 R-comps. Can I run a 225/45 r-comp? Street tire?

I've seen them mounted with 225/50 Hoosiers without spacers, although clearance is extremely limited on the inside. Street 225s are no problem.

For the Rotas, 225/45s are no problem with just a fender roll.

You'd need to find out their offset (or backspacing, then I can calculate the offset). The offset would need to be high enough to run 15+mm of adapter behind them. Honestly, with anything that concave, it's going to be tough.

Too big. 225/45 is the preferred size.

And welcome!

haha, you just couldn't take MY advice, could you?

[Imagine_M]

Oh no I took ur advice!

But ya know two heads are better then one!

So I'm guesing the 225/50 would hit the strut up front?

The thing is 225/45 are hard to find and the 225/50 are in stock everywhere I have called.

Lol guess I'll have to bite the bullet.

Any suggestions on a quiet smoth tire

I would have to use adapters sooo does that change wheel size?

225/50 wouldn't hit the strut, it is just a larger diameter. yes, 225/45 is a hard size to find. 205/50 is a bit more common. if you want a quiet smooth tire, then get 205/50's instead of 225/45s. as for tire recommendations i'll let someone else chime in.

My main consern was firment with et25 if a 225/50/16 would rub anywhere.

And if u recomend spacer front or rear?

Cus I do have a good deal on some hankook optimo h rated 225/50/16

don't mean too beat a dead horse but I will have to live with these tires for a while!
