91 318is H&R Race Lowering Springs
XXR 521 16x8 +20
What's the widest tire size I can run in all four corners?
I was thinking 225/45/16, I do not want a stretch. Will I have to roll the fenders at all? Also will this setup clear the suspension components?

225/45 fits with a rear fender roll. 215/45 offers better tires and removes the need to roll. You will clear the inside without spacers.

Quick question before I start to attempt to put on my new wheels..
Will 16x9 +15 with 215/40/16 (all around) fit my 89 325is (with no spacers)?
Will it clear the struts or no go??
thanks in advance :)

Most suspensions setups will require 3mm front spacers to clear.

Curious about:
17x9 +22 f/r

I am wondering if these will fit if I run an adapter since the wheels are 5-lug? I think smallest adapter is 18mm...

Thanks!

Too low of an offset, they will poke substantially.

trying to figure out how to make 17x8 et22 rs-90 lorinsers fit. the 42 Draft Designs adapters comes in 18mm/20mm/25mm/30mm/35mm, i believe i want 20mm..

im on joms slammed and i plan to bring the rear down more. i realize my fenders will most likely need pulling and rolling but can i make this work?

18mm, they're already extremely aggressive with those adapters. Use 205/40 tires and work the fenders.

I need the wheel offsets to give answers, but 225/50 is not an E30-friendly size in general. 205/50, 215/45, 225/45.

195/65 is too tall. 205/50 and 205/55 are both suitable, with the latter being the correct diameter for speedo accuracy. However, if you're auto-xing I'd highly suggest buying something in 205/50 as there are better tire choices there for such use (Kumho XS, Dunlop Z1, Yokohama AD08, Bridgestone RE-11). Choosing any of those four tires will transform an E30.

DZ101's are decent street tires. Very, very poor in the wet though.

The wheels are +0 I'm also going to get some G/C coils at the same time.
If I can't fit the 225's what do you think is the widest tire I can fit with out pulling the fenders, I can roll them no problem.

5x130. 16x7.5 et32 16x9 et 38

I would run 18 or 20 mm adapters.

Thanks!

Like a 185. 0 offset wheels don't belong on E30s.

205/45 front 215/45 rear would be nice. Just needs a rear roll.
