thanks Jay :)


15x7 with et27, how would that look fitment wise again with 205/50?

There would be quite a bit of space left. 10mm rear spacers would make that look nice and flush.

[Mystikal]

Interesting. I didn't know 15 inch tires ran wide. Good to know. In that case would 225s just need a fender roll in the back? Or will it require more work to get them to fit? 205s sound like the best bet it seems.

Wayyyy more work. That wheel spec is just too aggressive for 225s.

Im running the factory d2 spring rates. Which I do not remember exactly... But im think its 300/400. Dont quote me though. My fender linings are gone btw. Do you think the I should just run a 215/50 in front instead of the 225?

The front isn't the problem. It just about never is on E30s, there's acres of space up there.

Depending on how well that fender pull was done, 225s should be fine.

Its me again.... It seems the spacelines required to big of a spacer 25mm front and 35mm rears for a 17x8.5 wheel

Now I have come across a wheel that will work with my BBK.

17x.7.5 et 35

What spacers will work with these wheels? I have read somewhere in the thread that with any et35 wheel 20mm(custom 10mm) spacers will work. Im looking at running 235/40 rear and 215/40 fronts.

10mm spacer and 235/40 all around.

I've got Rota Slipstreams 16x8 et20 cb 57.1mm

I just put them on yesterday, and the top of the rim is very close to the strut housing. There's a little under a centimeter between them.

Should I be worried?

You have lots of room with that setup. A centimeter is an acre in E30 wheel fitment.

Awesome thanks a lot man you're a big help.

Looking for some help/input on tire sizes to run on my ETA. Borbet Type B mesh, 16x7.5 et 30. Running H&R Sport with Bilstein Sport. Not big on the stretch look - 215-45 ? Thoughts ?

[phreshkid]

So I went ahead and grabbed a full set of 225/45-16 BF Goodrich KDW2s to fit on my 16x8 et23 style 5 wheels.

From what I've gathered, I need a bare-minimum 3mm spacer up front to clear the front caliper but 5mm is recommended. I have already rolled the rear fenders but have yet to get the fronts done.

et23 plus a 5mm spacer puts me at et18 with 225 tires.

How am I looking in terms of fitment? Does the front absolutely need a roll? What about the rear fitment? I'm thinking that if I throw a 5mm spacer in the back too just to balance out the front spacer things shouldn't be bad right?



Also, the car is lowered on GC/Bilsteins. I don't ride on the lowest settings by any means either.

[5ickride]

Yeah, those would be the minimum. Potholes here are even worse, we still go low. ;)

Thanks for the help. What 205 50 15 tires do you recommend? Looking for summer only not all season.

Will 15x7 euroweaves with 205/50 require rolled fenders with a lowered car?

[Ryan...]

16x8, et0, lowered 2.5" fr and 1.5" rear. Can I get away with either 205/50 or 205/45 without any major rolling/pulling of the fenders?

Here is my new setup. 17x8 et15 (5mm spacer) front 17x9 et22 rear with 235/40 17 tires Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.

[darvo]

17x8.5 style 39's et20, 4x100 to 5x120 18mm spacer..... Will this fit? with what tyre? 1986 325e sedan, Jom Coils.

[240zs30]

Here is my new setup. 17x8 et15 (5mm spacer) front 17x9 et22 rear with 235/40 17 tires Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.

Nice! is the E30 m3 suspension or E36m/318ti?
