Ian, same Ian from maX? I love your cars!

Just roll that rear lip man. Use a heat gun on it for about 2 mins, then use the roller to gradually flatten the lip. There is little to no risk if you use a heat gun liberally and work slowly. Original paint is actually a benefit.

Yes all of the methods you mentioned will also get rid of the rubbing (more camber, machining the wheels, running the DS2), but really, just roll 'em! If you are still uncomfortable I'd add camber first, as it's free and has little downside.

Yup, same guy, same cars :)

Thanks for the advice...I'll see if I can get it sorted out. I'm gonna try the camber first...

I recently came into possession of some cheap sportmax 501 16x8. Obviously the stock lug bolts wont work with these wheels. I know the tuner lugs i need at 12x1.5 but how long for the shank. the ones on ebay are 22mm. I think the stock lugs are 24 and I have seen 28 and 35mm. will the 22mm ones be okay? im a wheel noob.

You should be okay, but if they fall of it's not on me. :p

Seriously though just re-check them with a torque wrench frequently for the first couple weeks, but I don't foresee any issues.

I am looking at getting a set of these and I am trying to figure out tire sizing, I would love to get the Z1's in 225/50R16 but I am wondering if they are going to fit. I am getting the car painted in October so I am not afraid to aggressively roll the fenders if I need to. Are these going to fit?

i need help on these 8"x17", offset 20mm,9"x17", offset 22mm. Style 5 BBS from a 528i sport(i think). Im going to redrill them from 5 lug to 4 lug. what size tires should i run and what spacers do i need thanks. i post a pic on what they look like thanks

[OOMPH!]

In regards to my '89 325is, looking at wheels that are 16x8.5 et32 and 16x9.5 et45 need to run adapters and I know they're sold in 18mm, 20mm, and 25mm; I think I would run a 25mm in the rear and a smaller one up front. Which ones should I run? How do you think these final offsets will look?

[Psyops]

Im looking at some 8x17 et15 wheels and thinking 215/40/17 should be about right, but maybe I can go bigger. What do you think?

[RickSloan]

i have another one

318ti rear 5 lug and e36 m3 front

1985 325e

i want to run 15x8's with 225/45/15 track tires

89 325i Sedan Bili Sports Eibach Pro's with e90 front hats esm 002 16x7.5 16x9 rear looking at Falken Azenis RT-615 215/45/16 for the rear tires was wondering if these tires are on the front wheel as well if they would like larger than the rear tires due to the 1.5" less width. Thanks in advance!

[Ray Smoodiver]

Sick offsets. The rear will look the same as a 17x10 +20 (Brock B1, Keskin KT1, etc etc). For a late model you'll need to pull the rears slightly. I'd go 205/40 and 225/35, just to keep diameters the same.

Cheers Jay, Impuls here we come :D

[Charley]

I want to run 16x8.5 et19 (5x120) wheels (e30 m3 5lug) will I need

Charley

[LuckyHenriksen]

Can anyone help me decide the backspacing I need to run 15x8's all around? and is it possible to run 10's in the rear? thanks

[for3ver]

I bought some wheels 16x7.5 and they came with 235/50 tires. The wheels are et15, am I gonna be able to fit these wheels?

They "can" work, but you will always scrub the front wheel well while turning. It's inevitable, they are just too tall. If you're willing to put up with that as well as have the fenders aggressively pulled front and rear, they will "fit".

No spacers at all, they will fit very nicely. I'd go 205/40 front and 225/35/17 rear (or 215/40 for more tire choices) with flatly rolled rear fender lips.
