Wheels to fit a 90 325IS, the wheels are BBS RS 025 16x9 with a et36, is there a adapters made to fit this, from the 5x120 to a 4x100, with the et36,
I know I could fill and drill, but if I can get adapters I can use them on the M3 also,
Mystikal I hear you have the knowledge for my question, thanks in advance,
I don't know the hub size, but the BBS page says there for a 80's vette,88 M3 Lachsliber glass top, 90 IS project,

16x8.5 +17 225/45/16 square. Just roll the rear fenders flat and use a high-ish spring rate (500lb/in rear or more).
I was looking at available tire sizes today and was disappointed by the 245 mm choices.
I wanted a staggered setup to offset the M62 that's going into the car but I guess I don't really need it. 235s wouldn't be worth the bother and 255s are starting to negate the whole point of moving from a car that took supercar tire sizes to something small and light like the E30 ($$$).
I was hoping for Starspecs for street, V710s for track and autocross... or tire choices along those lines.
Unless you can suggest another option?

Hi there,
I am planning to buy keskin kt4 wheels. Front 8x17 offset 35 with tires 205/45 (spacer 15 mm?), rear 9x17 offset 30 with tires 225/40 (spacer 20mm?)
What kind of spacers do i need if i don't want to roll my fenders?
The car is -87 325i m technic 1 with koni shocks and -35mm HR springs.
am i on the right track, or do i need to rethink the tire sizes again?

Currently running 205/45/16 tires that are dangerously bald.
just bought 20mm spacers all around
Have 16x7 et15~20 wheels and looking to lower my coils a little more and tuck a moderate amount of tire.
My fenders are already rolled and maybe even slightly pulled (did it 2 years ago "just in case")
Is 195/50/16 going to be a better idea? or am I even going to notice the difference?
pics of current setup if it helps:
Thanks in advance

You're also looking at a rear tire size that doesn't really exist.
I'd suggest (knowing you don't want to roll):
F: 15mm spacers, 215/40 tires
R: No spacers, 235/40 tires

A final offset of 0 to +5 should be ideal for a 16x7 and 195/45.
