I have a set of 205/60R14 on my stock is weaves and a set of H&R Races on the way. I also want front drop hats to eliminate any reverse rake.

Should I be worried about tires not fitting? I know that's a big tire but they were on the car when I got it and they're nice tires so they're staying until they're worn off.

I'm looking for some nice lightweight race wheels that I can bolt up to my "stock for now" 87 325i w/o using spacers. I'm thinking of getting the D-Force LTW5 15x7s et25. Just want to make sure these will fit nicely...? Also, I need to get tires so any help with tire size and a good set of sticky tires for under $100 per. Bilstein struts and h&r race springs just ordered also. Thanks.

Yup, those are a good choice. How sticky do you want? A 225/50 Falken ZE-912 is a capable daily driver tire for cheap, but if you really want to have fun buy a set of 205/50 RT-615Ks, RE-11s, or something else in that "Extreme" category.

what would it take to run a set of Konig Bump (16x7 et40 73.1bore)
I am a complete noob so be gentle. I know must people don't like time attack stripes but I love these rims.
My car is a 1991 318i sedan.
I know a centering ring would be needed. What size?
Tire recommendations for a hr sport springs and blisten sport shocks setup? I was thinking 225/45 but then again I really don't know what I'm talking about :)

73mm - 57.1mm rings, 15mm front spacers, 20mm rear spacers, 225/45 is fine.

Really, look at the wheels Eurostop has to offer. They have some time attck models that are the correct offset and hub for the E30. This saves $200.

You'll have acres of room, no worries.

205/45 with a 10mm rear spacer alone would be a great fitment. Tire will be right up against the inside of the arches.

chaching! thanks. gonna look into this then.

Q&A please!

Ok looks like I gona score a nice set of NEW set of Zender Challenge 15x7, 4x100 pattern, for a nice price.
They are 15x7 but a staggerd set, 2 are ET35 and 2 are ET25
My Question is, will the ET35 fit my E30 with out complications, or spacers?
I really like these and think they will look sick on my ride..!
thanks
