          Hi looking at getting the e39 style 5 17x8 wheels for an e30 and i've heard that adapters with 18mm spacing at the front 20mm at the back fits well. if thats true, what size tyres should i be looking at?

            So I have stock (at the moment) suspension on my 89 i. I am trying to run a redrilled set of style 4's (16x8, et23) with 205/45's. The fronts are currently not clearing the caliper bracket. What size spacer should I run up front? and should I run a spacer in the back to keep it from looking funny?

                  16x8.5 +3 rear

                  Pretty much set for life with those specs.

                      25mm adapters, massively stretched tires (205/45 or 215/40), and likely a fender pull in the back.

                          Depends on your brake pads. You will have to experiment a bit, most get away with 5mm fronts with style 4s and 5s. I'd go 10mm in the back for balance.

                            Fenders rolled.

                            Here's my options:
                            Front and rear:
                            17x9 et20

                            Fronts
                            17x8.5 et 20
                            Rears
                            17x10 et15

                            Fronts
                            17x9 et35
                            Rear
                            17x10 et20
                            None of the rears will fit very easily. Expect to be working the fenders heavily and you better have high rear spring rates also (650+). The only fronts that fit without spacers are the 17x8.5s. But those come with the least likely to work rears. I'd go with the last set, with a 20mm front spacer.

                              That size will not work. You could attempt a 215/40.
