My brother in law has a set of sport maxx 16x8, dont know the offset. He has an 87 sedan which he is going to buy tires for and we dont know what to get. No spacers wanted and no rolling of fenders. He would like a little stretch but not too crazy. Will 195/50 do good? or 205/50?

Anyone wanna second/third this? I'll add it to the first post if I can verify it.

I second it!

When you "verify" it, make sure I get my kudos. :)

MiM: 10mm rear spacers, 195/55 tires

Diamond: 15x8.5 +13 15x9.5 +13 would be beautiful (if possible). 205/50 and 215/45 tires. This will require a flat fender roll as well as linear springs (coilovers). For unrolled subtract an inch from each wheel and back the tires down to 195/55 and 205/50.

Thanks, helps alot. So you think leave the front how they are, with 10mm rear?
And for the Diamonds they don't come in half inches where I'd get them from.

lol,sorry did not see that you posted.thanks man !! I would prefer to keep them the same,would it look bad? And what would be a the proper staggered size for the front if i want 225 45 in the rear?

205/50

Need to know the offset.

Yes, +13 front is already decently flush. If it's not enough you can move the 10mm up front and go 15-20 rear to make it match.

Take the Diamonds down to 8/9 and +10 all around.

Switching my setup and need to know if I will need new tires.

Currently
Late model with no roll
15x7 et26 225/50/15
H&R sport/billy

New
Either H&R race or full GC

Will I rub with the extra drop on the 225's?

Thanks!

I have a early coupe which will soon be dropped on a JOM coilover kit. I want to run some 16x8 5 lug wheels with et +5 in the front ant I think et +24 or 26 in the rear. I intend to run keep the 4 lug. I want to know what tires I can run and what size adapters I will need to get them enough clearance for the brakes in the front as well as flush all around. I know I might have to roll my fenders. Thanks.

What do you guys think about 18x8,5 ET 18 in the front + 18x10 ET 30 in the rear? For a non-M vert.

[darvo]

If you're willing to get crazy with the roller, 245/45 is possible.

For best fitment should I run the 5mm spacers or another size spacer?? I want them flush with the rolled fender.

[KirkerBezerker]

I would really like to run e34 stock weaves on my 4 lug 325is. Is dis doable and wit wat? jk

Which method do you prefer, fill and drill or spacers?

[CJG]

I made a mistake....my wheels are actually 17x7.5 et42. Would 20mm spacers still work? What size tires should I run? I really want to avoid rolling and want to keep the stock wheel diameter.

Yup, that's fine. 215/40

I'm don't really like the selection of tires in that size. Would it be ok to go with 205/45 or would those be stretched on a 7.5" wheel?

Mystikal,

I would like to fit some 18x8.5 et50 front and rear, what size adapter do you suggest?

Nope, no rubbing.

The offset of the wheels is too low to run an adapter on them.
