    Semi-seriously considering a set of porsche cookie cutters on my '87. They come in 6x15 ET36 and 7x15 ET23.3, and the thinnest adapters are 18mm.

    Would I need a staggered set to get the fronts in? No width less than 195, I want good tires.

            The fronts aren't a problem, it's the rears that are pushing it.

            Ideally:
            F: 35mm adapters 195/50
            R: 18mm adapters 205/50

                What's the widest tire I can run on a 16x9 et 15in the rear on an early model
                I was hoping for 235/40 but it appears that tire size does not exist

                And what should I run up front on a 16x8 et 20

                I want the widest tires I can have I will be rolling the fenders and I can add spacers if nessecary.

                  I picked up a set of 14x6 wheels that are et45 and 57.1 centerbore. Am I correct in assuming that 10mm spacers would be bring the offset down to et35, the same as the stock bottlecaps? Should I go bigger with the spacers and bring the offset down further? I've seen some people stagger their spacers so the the rear wheels are wider apart than the fronts. Should I look into this? I know it may seem odd me trying to keep 14s but these wheels were free. Don't want them to go to waste. Primary use of the wheels will be highway driving/commuting. Any advice, corrections, etc. is greatly appreciated.

                    If that's the case, I might as well go non-staggered 15x7 as they're a lot easier to find. Would that be alright with 18mm adapters all around?

                    I'm alright with rolling the fenders if I need to.

                          This thread has become way too large to search through. I have an 89 325 and just ordered some 16x8 et 15 wheels. What is the biggest tire i can fit with a fender roll? suspension setup is gc 450/700

                          Thanks!

                              205/40/17 tires

                              offset is 35mm

                              Spacer 25mm in the back and 20mm front

                              The car has been lowered


                              Do you think I can clear the fenders without rolling them?

                              They are going on e30 touring

                                You can run the same size up front if you don't care about matching stretch.
