ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread
Lol, for sure. I am looking for a flush set up (not hella flush!). Semi stretched tires. What would you recommend for as much lip as possible without super stretched tires with a 9" wide wheel? Front and rear? Thanks!
Looking at wheels that are 15x8 et15. I hate the stretched tire look... going for the beefcake tire look instead. Car will be lowered somewhere near the height of H&R Race springs. I'm willing to do some fender rolling, but I'd rather not start pulling. Non-staggered (square) setup.
Could I get a 225/50 to work? If not, what tires would work? Would I be better off going with a 16x8 et20? Prefer the 15's...
e36 m3 suspension/318ti rear
Wheels: 16x8.5 et39 & 16x9.5 et 27
Fenders are rolled and on BC coilovers 550/650
Would 205/45/16 front 225/40/16 work?
Any spacer should I use?
i want to run xxr 531 16x8 et0 an i was hoping to run a 225 45 16 is that possible? would you say its a bit extreme for a daily? i drive a late model sedan and am willing to do fender work if need be. thanks for the help.
Not even close. Stay away from 0 offset wheels, to run 225s you need +20 or higher.
Yeah I'm doing the Rx7 brake swap and didn't want to grind it down too much, I'll see if they are really needed once i get it all put on.
But also ESM says for the 002R the stock brakes either have to grind them a little or run 5mm spacers. and maybe a set on the back to level it out?
Can i fit anything bigger than that? like a 215/45, 205/50 or 215/50? Where do you think i would hit my limit with the stock fenders?
225/45 fits no problem with a rear fender roll. If you're after grip then 205/50 Dunlop Z1 or 215/45 Kumho XS.
* 3-piece Schmidt Revolution Modern Line wheels
* 16x9
* Staggered ET 21 Front, ET 8 Rear
* Toyo Proxies T1-S 215-40-16 all around.
* VERY LOW
You suggested 10-12mm spacers for the front. Is this the most aggressive I can run?
What do you recommend for the rear?
Yes, even when front 16x9s are hugging the struts as the 10-12mm spacer will do they poke out the fenders slightly. No more spacing. For the rears you may want to add a 5mm later if you roll the fenders well and want that little bit more.

You pretty much have to stretch tires to fit a 9" wheel on an E30. My most commonly suggested tire for a 9" wheel is 205/45 on 16x9 (perfect fitment IMO). Not a crazy bead-showing stretch but still very noticeable.

Thank you in advance.
You'll be limited to 205/50 realistically. 225/50 would be extremely aggressive and likely wouldn't work without pulling. 225/45 has a damn good chance though now that I think about it more.
16x8 +20 on the other hand is ideal. 225/45 all day long.
How about 16x8 et 45 & 16x9.5 et 27
Tires: 205/45 front 215/45 in the back, Still on e36 m3 suspension
How's the rear going to look?
The rears will be poking while the fronts will be sunken way in. If you're subtracting lips that's the opposite of your problem, it's the inner barrel that's too large.

Ah, so that extra 5mm is too much? Dang. Thanks for the reply.
How much pulling would be required? Front or rear, or both? Tires would likely be Falken 912's, if that helps. I seem to remember reading that some Falken tires run a bit small for their labeled size... although I have no first-hand knowledge.
Hi, new to this forum. Wheel specs are: 15x8.0, et12 (front) and 15x8.5, et6 (rear). Would 205/50/15 be ok and will the guards require rolling? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks
