Think I could get away with a 17X8 ET0 up front with a 205/40? Maybe 2 degrees of camber. I know there would be poke but you think I could at least get the tire tread under the fender?

Once again thanks for doing this; clearly the hottest post going.

I see that 225/50/15 has been noted as a clean fit on 15/7 et25. Would there be any issues with that tire on 15/7 et27? I'm on Bavauto springs w/Billy sports & M3 offset cab's up front.

Car : e30 325 4door goodness? lol
Wheel : 16x8 0 offset
Tires : 215 45 ( maybe a 205 )

....doing a roll either way, but just concerned about the 4 door factor of the car. Not sure of how large of a spacer I will need to run to have this be flush. Think dori dori flush....or should I maybe do a 5lug-spacer/conversion to toss on generic 5 lugs in a 17x9 15 offset? ( i have a set of wheels i used to run on my 240 that would look sick on the e30 ) This is for a daily driver, and I will be running cupkit set up, or maybe build my own , but either way not a really drastic drop. It is a 325, so want to kinda keep it 325ish.

found some unusual wheels for a good price, but more aggressive than i'd hoped. i want aggressive fitment, but wasnt intending to go crazy lol but the price and condition, and unusual nature of wheels has me interested..

16x9 +6
16x10 +6

any chance of getting these under? 215/40 and 225/40 and rolled and pulled guards i guess?

The rear quarters would have to be pulled to the point it'd look nothing like the factory arch. If you're willing (and have a paint guy ready), go for it. Tire sizes are correct.

If i wanted to run 15x10 steelies in the back what back spacing should i use, but i cant roll my fenders because of a small bondo spot. I could score it and then roll the fender but theres allways a chance of it cracking. Also what tire size would be apropriate?

Won't fit without severe fender work.

Ok here is my ?
I want to buy the XXR 513 16"
I want my rims to stick out slightly wider then my fender i have seen several E30's on here like that. 'FunfGan" E30 would be my ideal look. he has 15x9 +0

I have 87 E30 Vert stock Suspension will lower slightly

I need wheel specs. 15x9 +0 requires a lot of work (super stiff linear springs, pulled arches, stretched tires, headache low ride height).

Nope, tire tread will be poking.

Depends on the exact tire. If the section width is 9.2" or less on a 7" wheel they should fit. 9.3" and bigger and you'll need a small spacer.

Was there a question or is this a blog entry? lol

[dirk619]

Excuse me for me being so uninformed about this kinda thing, pretty new to it.

Car : 89' 325i 2dr
Wheels : 15x8.25 ET 0 or 16x8.25 ET 0
Suspension : Bavauto springs/Bilstein HD
Tires : Don't know at the moment.

Main question is what would be an ideal tire choice with minimal stretch. Will rolled/pulled fenders be necessarily done. Will I need any spacers? Just trying to go for a flush look.

Please excuse my stupidity.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, LOLOL yeah that was a question. As in good bad fitment will i need spacers not need spacers...how much of a pull will i need , if any. As well as how will fitment be on the rear, taking into account the doors.

[tofubento]

anyone?

[brgracer]

Car : 91' 318i 4-door
Wheels : custom 16x8
Suspension : H&R Sport/Bilstein Sports
Tires : ???

Friend has a set of 16x8 custom wheels that he never finished as the centers have not been machined yet at all in terms of hub bore, bolt pattern, offset. Aside from the obvious 4x100 spacing, 57.1 center bore, what would the ideal offset be to fit without needing spacers/rolling etc...? I would like to run 225 width tires, but that is not set in stone. I'd rather run a 215 tire than have to roll/do fender work. Machinist said that there is enough metal to do anything from 0mm offset to 28mm offset, and he can obviously do diff offsets fronts/rears as well. Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok disregard my last

How about the xxr 513 16x8 +0 offset
What do I need to run these?
Stock height? 1987 vert

[PFCRayB]

i have look around and cant find what size adapters to run with vette salad shooters, the size is 16x9.5 all around, i cant remember the offset at the moment, i know i am goind to need at least 20mm if not larger, oo also ill be on low-tec 60 40 springs and billy sports, and the tire size on the vette wheels is 225 i think
