Sorry everyone, I was down in MD for H2Oi for a bit over a week. I'll try to catch up today.

without rolling fenders, can you fit 18racing rota slipstream 16x8 4x100 et20 hb57.1 on an e30 sitting low on Ground Control coil-overs? if so, what size tires... if not, how much rolling do you think would be necessary?

205/50. No rolling needed.

Hello wheel/tire gurus

I'm running Ronal LS 15x7.5 et24 with 205/55/15 Falkens. The offset is perfect in front but a little sunken in the rear. I'm going to be installing JOM coilovers this week so it will be lower than stock ride height, but I wont be slamming it by any means.

With this setup would I be safe to run 5mm or 8mm spacers in the back without rubbing? Or is it impossible to say without knowing the exact ride height?

Yup, 5-8mm will work fine without any rubbing or rolling.

Anybody running a 16x8 et0? I think I've seen it done, but I want to run a similar set up

Possible with a rear roll and 195/45 tires.

bbs rs 4x100 16" offset 35 what can i do with them ?

Depends on how wide they are.

rear 17x7 offset 40 with 20mm spacers, am I going to be rolling fenders? lowered with some camber looks like it will to me but figured I'd ask

Nope, just use a 215/40.

Quick question cause I'm at work. I am running in 16x9 in the rear, et 15 wrapped in 225/50/16. What would be the best fitment for a 16x7 or 16x7.5 up front? Et? Tire size? Thanks in advance for your advice. No time to research. I'm on the work computer.

16x7.5 +10 with a 205/50/16.

I currently purchased a stock 93 325ci and have plans to drop it with ground control coil overs front and rear. I havent decided if sport or sport touring is right for me yet. However I want to purchase Kopi Alpina wheels from Mel at http://www.abrahamsmotorsport.com/e30.html in a 4x100 17" 20mm offset. I dont fully understand offsets so... If I drop the vehicle with the coil overs, won't 20mm offset be tucked under the fender? Does anybody have pictures of a dropped e30 with a 4x100 17" 20mm offset wheels installed? Thanks!

They fit fine with the 20 offset and 215/40 tires. Just search the forum for kopi pics, there's dozens of cars over the years with them.

I have euroweaves on 205/50/15 rubbers on a bilstein and hr sport suspension.
How large of spacers can I go without rolling/rubbing on the fenders?

lmk

10mm rear is the max. The front can take 20+ but you obviously wouldn't want that.

sorry i dont really have the time to find out the perfect e30 offset, but i wanna run a set of wheels that have a ET of 34 up front and 37 out back. 18's btw. 8 wide up front and 8.5 in back. kinda want a flush look. car is slammed btw maybe need it so i can tuck the 18's. for a better look.

id be running 5-lug adapters if its possible and would have the adapters be the spacer if needed(i dont really know what i need)

any insight? rolling and pulling is fine, also would need the ideal tire size
thanks

18-20mm adapters and 215/35 tires. Shouldn't need any rolling but it will be close.

I'm running 16x8 et20 with 215/45's, On front the car is flush but in the rear it needs a spacer, what spacer should I run 13mm,15mm,18mm?

Late model 325is(small archs)

I like late models with a 5-8mm stagger. You may rub with the 8mm if you're not rolled.

[Mystikal]

So whats the biggest spacer you can run with stock lugbolts on a 16x7 konig remember? Not sure of current offset, but i would like the rears to not be so sunk in.

3-5mm depending on the wheel hub design. Count the turns you can achieve with the bolt, 6 full turns is safe.

looking at ESM-002R with the following setup...

Option 1:
16x9e15 w/ 215/40/16 box

Option 2:
16x8e20 w/205/45/16 and
16x9e15 w/215/40/16 stagger

anything i should avoid/watch out for? Will be going BC coilovers pretty much at the same time.

Go 16x9 all around for sure. Also, BC's are one of the rare coilovers that GAINS front inner clearance on these cars. No spacers needed. I'd suggest 205/45 though, it actually looks LESS stretched than the 215/40 and gives you some more ground clearance.

I have a lightly used e30 318is that I last bought tires for in 2005. It's time now and now I realize that the 205/60/14 size that are on the car now are no longer available (stock bbs basketweave wheels--stock size was 195/65/14 which I don't want).

What's the closest that I can get-what are you running? Any opinions greatly appreciated-I searched the thread and couldn't find anything current. Thanks!

The only decent tires available in stock sizing are the Falken 512 and 912. They're not the best, but they are very good street tires. 195/65 and 205/60 from discounttiredirect.com.

If you go undersized a bit 195/60 offers many more choices.

Will 235/45/17 on style 5s fit under a stock e28 m5? I might lower 1.5" soon too.

Thanks for the response. What if I wanted to go 16x7 up front. Flush stance. What et???? What tire size???? That would be with h&r and billy sports. On my 1991 e30 vert. I would like to run 225/45/16.
