235/40/17 or 235/45/17's on ARC-8's?

HR Race, billies, no extra drop stuff. Rear fenders rolled, have camber adjustment potential front and rear.

235/40 is already oversized in diameter, stick with them.

Thanks mystikal! You are a great help!

You're welcome. And you're welcome to all others who send appreciation and I never respond, I just try to keep the thread clean. :)

Bah. Thanks, tire choices are just so much better in 235/45!

+15 and run 205/50s. They're cheap and everywhere, two qualities you need if you're drifting.

Ty soooo much been freaking about this. Don't have money to waste on rims that I can't even use

[alpineII_dirty]

16x8 +20, 205/50 in the rear and 205/45 in front?, on vogtland springs, (drop hats soon) maybe even 215 in the rear?

[Mystikal]

You can use any of the following, front or rear: 205/45, 205/50, 215/45. 225/45 with a rear fender roll.

Appreciate all your help before asking a question. Read about 70 pages, I have a two part question.

86 325es stock suspension, m3 cabs
Current setup: 15x7 et25 borbet type h 205/55r15 (ugly but free)
looking @ ecs slam kit f2.8" r2.5" drop
Do you think this will clear my current wheels and what do you think about fender gap?
Secondly, I'm thinking about upgrading to xxr-530 17" wheels in the near future. If this will clear the 15s for a while can I get your opinion on fitment for the 17s? I prefer no spacers or fender rolling but have one available if need be. Thanks again.

[Mystikal]

Your current setup will work at almost any ride height.

For the XXR's, you need to provide me with width and offsets.

89 325, I picked up a set of BBS RS
16X8.5 +10
16X9.5 +15

Plan on slamming. small stretch. Not sure what size tire. I've been told 205 F 215 R but I feel like I could maybe go bigger rear tire? Any thoughts?

[Bimmerfreak87]

87 325is daily driver (no racing), BBS RS "Style" wheels on order
17x7.5 et35
Univ. 73.1 hub centric (73.1-57.1 rings also ordered)

Not sure what size tires or spacers. Looking for wide stance+tires w/o poke or fender rolling. What do you recommend?

Much appreciated! :up:

[AE86]

16x8 +0 (REAR wheels only)

205/50/16 tire

IE springs

I have a late body E30, how much of a roll am I looking at here? A lot or a Little? Thanks for your time and input

CAR:
1991 318is
lowered on IE3 and Bilstein Sports
Stock fenders

WHEELS:
Staggered C4 salad shooters
16x8.5 et32 F
16x9.5 et38 R
205/45/16 tires all around

QUESTION:
What size spacers should I run? I was thinking 18mm F and 20mm R, but I've also heard 25mm R. I don't want any poke but flush is fine. What do you think? Thanks!

[dishwab]

Got a question for you geniuses...

Spec:
1989 3235is
Soon to be lowered on Bilsten Sport/ H&R sports/ E90 drop hats in front
15x7 Euroweaves et24 on all 4 corners

I'm trying to decide which tires to go with, and have more or less narrowed it down (for cost reasons) to

Kumho Ecsta ASX 205/55/15 or
Kumho Ecsta AST 225/50/15

I have winter tires on the stock bottlecaps, so snow won't be in the equation, nor will track use - just for daily driving in the spring/summer/fall.

Opinions? I'm sure it won't really matter either way but I can't decide which way to go re: the width
