Direct fit. 205/50 is the largest you're going to fit. You only need new bolts if the wheels call for tuner bolts; otherwise the stock bolts are fine.

THANK YOU! Super appreciate your help!

Which one is taller, 255/40r17 or 255/50r16?

255/50. That's a HUGE diameter.

hey mate, so i asked about what wheels would fit my e30.

you said 16x8 et25 will be fine.

i went and got these wheels that are 16x8 et0 as they looked amazing and at a really good price!

however, the front has way too much poke.. (approx 35mm outside the fender).. the rear is pretty much fine (little bit of poke which looks nice )

what are my options? if i have any?

This is why I often try to steer people away from 16x8 +0 wheels. Yeah they're cheap and have a huge lip but they don't actually fit.

You need additional front negative camber and very small tires.

hey, I recently had some questions about my 16x9 +30mm gottis. I got the +18mm adapters, which arrives me at 9J +12mm. I went to test fit the fronts, and I am hitting my strut tower. Is there something that is messed up with my suspension? Am I going to need to bump up to like +20ish adapters on the front?

[Mr. Tasty]

also, I am sitting at about perfect in my opinnion fitment. I really don't want to push the wheels out further.

What spring rate should I get (and how low can I got) to avoid this hapening while driving?


Note: spring removed

Is it safe? Too much poke?... Seen worst... What do you think?

235/40r17 on the front with a 17x9 et15 wheel? I currently have 225/50r15's on a 15x8 et5 with no rubbing.

Fronts: 16x9 -14
Rears are 16x10.5 -10

Fit my lowered e30 after rolled fenders and some tire stretching?


Thanks for any help!

Chance something (strut housing likely) is bent. Is it like that on both sides? There's many guys on here running 16x9 +12 without issue, it's close but shouldn't touch.

It's safe. Did you already have a front spring rate set? If not 750lb/in is a good starting point.

Should clear with a hearty helping of negative camber.

Way too far out. Those need to be tucked in about 20-25mm front and rear to start fitting an E30.

I found out that 6 7/16 backspace on a 9 inch wheel is like +36mm offset.

Sorry I think I meant + ! derp

Here the info I have:
Fronts are 16x9 et32 with a 6.5" back spacing, Rears are 16x10.5 et28 with a 5" backspacing and 4.5" lips

BUT I need to run 18mm adapters.

Thanks for your help!

Can i run 15x8's offset +10? if so what tire size would work best? thanks!
