Question is i need to know what offset

First one is 18x8 +20 18x9 +22 but with E30 M3 5-lug. Around +15 offset is the equivalent on a 4-lug. 215/35/18 tires.

Second one is more like 16x7.5 +0 16x9 +10. Rough idea, but those numbers will yield a similar look. 205/45 or 215/40 tires.

I bought these 4x100 MINI COOPER S wheels with a hub bore of 56.1 for mini. BMW/VW use 57.1. So the wheels don't fit unless I would run a hub centric spacer to clear the hub pilot on the BMW, then attach the wheel.
The wheels look better with a 10mm-20mm spacers because mini wheels have around a 40 mm offset. Do you think this would be a problem? The pictures below show the wheel attached with around 10mm spacer. This was just a test fit.

The taller the sidewall, the more fender work you will have to do. 225/45 will require HEAVY fender modification. I typically suggest 205/45 for a good balance of ground clearance and wheel well appearance.

Thanks, I suspect I'll be doing some work. What about 215/45's? I'm more a fan of little stretch than lots.

I've noticed 215/45's are quite expensive compared to 205/45 or 225/45's, which put me onto 225/45, or if I had to 205/45's

1991 318is Euroweave question. The car is getting an s52 soon, so I am thinking traction..

By the numbers, I could go to a 225/50/15 and not change the overall diameter (from stock) at all, but will it fit? The car is lowered on H&R OE springs (~1.25" drop all around) with KYB g2's.

Falken Question:

I didn't realize that Tirerack does not carry Falken tires. I'm looking for a new set of Ziex ZE-512's. Anybody recommend a reliable source?

I'm changing my question:

I'll be purchasing a set of Yokohama S.Drives soon. I've read a bunch of reviews and I really think they're the best tire for my budget. I realize these tires are not built for winter. But my question is, how much of cold temperatures can they endure before getting damaged?

I'm going to be driving across country again soon, from NYC to San Diego, and I'd like to have a fresh set of tires to take the trip with. So assuming I get the tires a few days before my trip, they'll onyl see a few days of cold weather in NY, and possibly 2-3 days on the trip before I get far enough South where the weather is warmer.

So, you think I can put them through a few days? Or should I take my chances with my old tires, and get the S.Drives once I get out to California?

I just bought a set of wheel which is 16x7 +40 on 215/45/16. Want to know if I will need any spacers? I'm planning to buy koni yellow/ground control and roll fenders. Want a nice fitment. Thanks!

I have narrowed down my potential wheel choices but am having a hard time figuring out fitment.

Option one:
17x7 27 offset

Option Two:
16x7 20 offset

I currently have Bilstein Sport shocks with H&R sport springs so the car is lowered. I also do not like stretched tires and am wondering what tires I can put on them and not have them rub. I can roll the fenders if need be.
