Looking to pick up a set of esm 002's 16x9 all around. From what i've read i should go et10 all around to avoid spacers right? Suspension is GC with camber plates up front. Just trying to make sure i get the right offset and tire size. Thinking 215/40, is 215/45 to big? Fenders are rolled a little, car used to have a 16x9's at one point when the previous owner had it and the tires were 215/40, just wanted to see if the jump to 215/45 would cause rubbing. Don't mind a little stretch, but i'd prefer a little more tire. Thanks!!

Yup, I had told ESM to make them +10 instead of +15 so that they clear the struts without spacers. 215/45 has been done, but definitely requires more fender rolling in the rear than the standard 205/45 or 215/40.

BBS rs 16x7.5 et 30 front and rear. With 17mm adapters, brings offset down to et 13 front and rear. HR race springs on an mtechnic convertible... maybe 205 50 16 tires or 225 45 16?

So what should i go with the 205/45 or 215/40? I'll def adjust the front camber so they tuck better.

Jay, how about the wheel fitment in a e30 m3?

17x8.5 et 30 front

17x9.5 et 20 rear

For the front do you think I would need spacers? How's for the back? Will stick out a bit of the fender?

Also for tires, what size would you recomend. I can't run short height tires due the potholes, bumpstos, cracked roads down here, but of corse wont' run hghe side wall tires.

Thanks

You'll definitely need a spacer up front to clear the calipers and you will most likely rub on the suspension in the rear as well, especially if you don't want to run stretched tires. The wheels won't stick out on the rear past the fender. I run 17x10 ET19 with a 5mm spacer to make it ET14 on the rear and I'm just about even with the fender. But then again, I have slightly stretched tires.

Cool. What's your tire size anyways?

Hopefully with a very small spacer front the front can do the trick and keep my OEM lug bolts.

Front tires are 215/40/17 on 17x8.5 and rear tires are 245/35/17. I would test fit the front wheels first before anything.

What size spacers are best to get my track a little bit wider? 84 ETA with eibach springs, 14" weaves with 195/60/14 falkens. Fenders are stock but will roll if needed. Thank You!

I am upgrading to new 7.5x15 Ronals from 14" basketweaves. I want to try and sell all 5 wheels and tires as a set, which means I need a spare tire replacement. What are my options? Are there 15" steel wheels I can get?

I'm trying to figure out if a 16x7.5 wheel with an offset of 49 will fit on my 87 325ic. ANy help would be appreciated.

Even with the 205s a fender roll would be required in the rear. 205/45 would work without any fender work though.
