        Widest tire? Performance minded.
        225/45/16

        But - there's better street tires available in 205/50 and 215/45.

            I say no to 225/50s. Too tall for front clearance.

                  ok so I got the adapter fitment all I need help with now is tire selection. I'll try to be more specific.

                  The wheels are 8.5 in front and 9.5" rear in width and are 16" wheels.

                  What section tire can I use without too much stretch or too thick of a wall? I'm having trouble using the size conversion. For example, 195/40/16 on front but what size do I use in the rear since the wheel is an inch wider and I'd like to keep the same sized sidewall?

                    Ok I was referred to you, saying that you were a "god," so here we go. I have KW V1 on my car, bags on the rear. The car is currently on bottlecaps with spacers on the front and they barely clean (cant fit a finger bw the tire and strut). I was told they were 15mm but I could be wrong.

                    So my question, the car previously had 16x9 et15 wheels on there and they were from (per the po), and I am looking at a 16x8 wheel with a 0 et option and a 20 et option. Knowing that I will HAVE to run a spacer on my car because of the coilover clearance, what kind of et, if any, would I have to look for when buying wheels that would be give me a flush look. The fenders upfront are rolled and the rears are rolled and pulled if that helps. Thanks for any help :)

                              Are fenders and quarters rolled on this car ??

                              And I just finished the wheels last night and now it's time to buy some tires, I have a late model mtech II, and E39 style 5, and I really really don't want to roll or pull, please advise the tire size guys.

                              I searched a lot but almost everyone rolled fenders/quarters and I'm wondering if someone knows the perfect size I need so I don't have to roll

                                just rolled he said, but nothing special. :) Id say its a must with such a wide tyre under there, might get away with something narrower.
