Square setup, full size tires. Coilovers. I wouldn't mind running the dtm flares. Spacers are fine.
What is the best size tire I could stuff under it?

Flares are absolutely required to run anything close to square fitting rubber (which would be 245/45). 15mm spacers to clear the front struts with those tires also.

I've heard i need 195/50 front and 225/45 rear tires... correct?

I need the wheel offsets.

[Mystikal]

I am looking at a set of wheels that are 17x7.5 et 20
however I believe they are for a nissan cause the center bore is 59mm.

Wheels are ATS Comp Lites.

Questions:
1. Can I get away with not running any sort of hubcentric spacer. The car has studs if that makes a difference.
2. Does anyone make a 59 to 57mm adapter?
3. My car is on Konis and GC coils. 550f/750r. I plan on using my current 16s for track wheels. What tire size for the 17s would be good for the street. I would prefer to run a 225/45 but I am not sure how that would fit. Tires are probably federal s595s as I have good experiance with them.

Thoughts?

You need rings. Worst possible case, layers of electrical tape stacked until the wheel is SNUG (this is ghetto, but works in a pinch).

215/40 is the size.

15x10 et -28

Thoughts, advice, fitment?

They'd probably fit nice on a 70's or 80's era Japanese RWD car, yes. On an E30, not a chance!

sup i have a 1991 e30 vert.

got some bmw style 5, bbs rc090 17x8 et20 all around. i'm also running the 4-5lug conversion spacer/adapter kit which i believe is a 20mm (correct me if i'm wrong). it's the one rob sells on the forum. i am planning on buying a set of the coilovers from groupbuy #3 on the forums as well.

q's:
1-what tires size should i run with this setup?... i'm sure it's a pretty common one, excuse me if it's been covered over & over. this thread is getting pretty loooonnng.

2-if stretch is needed, what brand/model tire do you guys recommend is the best?

thanks for your wisdom!

i bought some corvette salad shooters which are 9.5 wide. i am going to run 18mm spacers all around. The question is, will I be able to fit them and will i rub at full lock?

Hey Mystikal,

I've got
1990 325i (4 door 5 speed) if it matters
15x7 et28 RacingDynamics wheels
205/55-15 Yokohoma S-Drives
H&R sport springs
Billy sport shocks/struts

I want to swap to a set of IE3 springs with no front pads, and install an e36 steering rack. What size spacers should I order to assure I wont have any full lock rubbing issues while still getting a bit more of a flush fitment?

What is the max width tire that can fit on a 7 inch wide rim? My 205/50/15 tire ripped during the install. A local shop on my 15x7 rim

I need the wheel offsets.

rear 16x9 et15 fronts 16x7.5et20 with 15mm spacers, just got a chance to look, sorry about that.

[StreetMafia21]

sup, ok so i just picked up some 16x9 et12 im having them re-drilled to 4x100 .what tire profile will i need. For a nice stretch?? will i need spacers to fit the fronts ??will rolling fenders flat be ok or will I need to flare the fenders out as well??

[GunMetalGrey]

16x9
Et25
DTM flares, which adds two inches out on the flares.
Coilovers
I want the tires to be filling out the flares, but not have to worry about rub, I can run spacers no problem.
Same size tires all around.
From what it sounds 245/45 with 15mm spacers all around?
Could I get away with a 245/50? In order to get road tires lol

195/40 or 205/40. Any model tire should do that minor stretch. Rear fender roll required.

Offset?

No idea on how the steering rack affects clearance. 15mm all around is possible but only with a rear fender roll.
