    You can do anything you put your mind to lobar. Search 4 lug to 5 lug adapters. Learn offsets, center bores, hubcentric spacers, etc. It might take as little as an hour and as much as weeks to get the required information but the goal here is to learn the required information. It'll make you smarter and it'll waste out time less. Good day.

      Spacers, tires, and fender rolling with this.....

      16x7.5 et30?

      I like flush.

      89 Vert. JOM coils will be used, try and just give a bit of wheel gap or so.

      I'm more low and slow. I think stretched Is cool but don't think for this appliction so 225/40s?

          It seems Kaliboy runs ET 20 Style 5 with 235/40 on E30 M3 setup so just want to get some confirmation before I buy a whole set of tires...
          No, 235s won't work with the 17x8s either. Even on an early car with flatly rolled arches...it rubs. Been there, done that.

            225/45 (or 215/45): 10mm front, 15mm rear.
            205/50 (or 205/45): 15mm front, 20mm rear.

              On the front, yes. Unless you manage to get like 3.5* of camber.

                    What offsets would be ideal to run a 16x9.5 all around on a late model? Looking into adapters now, and I need to know how thick to order haha. I plan on running stretch/camber etc. so hopefully I can make them fit!

                      Sanity check. I could have swore I read something about this on r3v a while back, but now can't find the info.

                      I'm thinking RD 1.3s (15x7 @ ET25) combined with either a 205/50 or a 225/45.
                      I shouldn't have any problem with this, right?

                        What lugs will I then need? Gotta get this all priced out to shop around and make an order.

                          Thanks for the recommendation dude!

                          Im LOVING the added traction and feel of the new Kumho XS'
                          I also picked up a set of lightly used tires for my 17'' setup based on your suggestion. i'll let you know how that goes too :)

                            Can't say for sure. Worst case throw some cheapie 3mm on the front.

                              +5 is enough to clear the front struts (and more than enough for the rear).

                                Perfect fit, no fender mods. 225/50 is possible also, although yes tire selection is crappy.
