I have 4 BBS syle 5 16x8 et23, I can't decide what size of tire shoudl I use.

The car is going to be race a lot in auto x

[dhcg86]

So I bought some wheels a while back, and it turns out that 3 wheels are et40 and one is et 35

I have 4 20mm spacers. What do I do now? I got tires mounted before checking the ET on them. They are 16 x 7.5 iirc.

Right now I have two rears on and two old bottle cap fronts.

what size spacer do I need or do I have to buy a new wheel?

16x8 ET10 with 225/45's

17x9 wit 225/40/17 offset ???? [what would be ideal]

will it work

im lowered on eibach sprint no camber kits.

also what are the best low cost way to adjust camber on these carrs

225/40/17 doesn't exist really. You'll want +15 all around.

Hi!

i am running IE3,drop hats and koni sports. 16x7.5 et20 with 205/45/16.

what spacer should i run to look better for DD? TIA :)

Cheers,

If the fenders are not rolled just 5mm rear. If they're rolled 10/15 or 12/15 can work.

E36 5 lug, E30 5 lug, adapters, redrill, is this even an E30, etc.

40 - 35 = 5
20 - 5 = 15

So you need 1 15mm spacer. If you're handy look up a local machine shop. Have them file one spacer and five bolts 5mm each. Use these on the +35 wheel.

Thanks!

Will not. Even with a 205/45 you'll need a rear fender roll.

Hello I purchased wheels I want your opinion on tire size. I have a slight pull on all my fenders. wheels are are OZ futura.
Front 17x8.5 et12 going to add a 5mm spacer to clear the front brakes.
Rear 17x9.0 et6. I ride pretty low.

Im thinking for the front I want to go 215/40
and the rear i wanted to do 225/40 but as you mention in this thread they almost dont exist. Is my only other option 225/35? Or could i go bigger?
do you have any other suggestions in terms of tire sizes?
Thanks

I'd suggest any of the following combos
195/45 215/40
205/40 215/40
205/40 225/35

All of those have fairly similar sidewall heights F/R.

16x9 +15 ESM002 all around.

I am running 16x9 et15 all around with 205/45's. I am on H&R Sports + Billy's.My fenders are flat rolled.

Front:


Rear:


I did the research and thought i got it right but now i realize this fitment looks good when the car is reaally low because of the stretch, but since i have a swap, i dont want to go lower. What can i do to make things look better. (My main concern is the stretch and seeing less of the back of the lip) while being able to fit?

Im trying to stick to falken 912 series. (falkens, because i have a hookup on them, and the 912's, because that is what they stock)

With that said, the sizes available in this model are:

195/55R16
205/55R16
215/55R16
225/55R16
195/50R16
205/50R16
215/50R16
225/50R16
225/50R16
245/50R16
245/50R16
205/45R16
205/40R16

Which size will help me achieve a decent non stretchy look (i can live with some) while still fitting. Or is what i have the best it can be.

Thanks!

225/45/16 r

thanks mystikal fitment awesome even tho i have the 15mm spacers in the rear i will have to roll the rear fenders cuz i think it looks better

[e30lyf]

If the fenders are not rolled just 5mm rear. If they're rolled 10/15 or 12/15 can work.

205/50 is likely the best option. Here's what it looks like: http://tyrestretch.com/9_205_50_R16/
