Just got ESM002R 16X8 ET20 all around
I wanted to get tires. Currently, my car is 1991 318is. It is lowered on vogtland springs and using bilstein sport shocks. Will 205 50 16 or 205 45 16 in the front hit my strut? Do I need any spacers.
The wheels I bought are from Ary ESM-002R 16x8 ET20 all around. I didn't want to have to buy spacers. Would anyone give me tire sizes that will fit without rubbing? I am currently on stock weave with tire size 195 60 14.
Thanks!

I am thinking about getting a set of BBS RM's for my e30 off of craigslist and would like to find out about fitment on my e30. They are BBS RM012, et33 and they have 2" lips. The tires included but not mounted are 195/45/15.
The questions I have are:
-What will I need to make these fit my car?
-Will I have to roll my fenders if I am just running H&R sport spring and bilstein shocks?
-Are these tires gonna need to be stretched on a rim of this width?
Thanks

i'm sorry i have mis-information, the spring is not the eibach sport kit but eibach prokit. still i can use the 235/45/17 tire or you have another choice ?

Originally posted by Tom. View PostI just picked up some 15x7 et20 wheels. fronts don't clear the caliper, so I know I'll need spacers there. I'm still undecided on tire size, I just run FK lowering springs and KYB struts.
is this a forgiving offset? seems like my options on tires are 205/50, 205/55, or 225/50?
anyone have any input at all on potential wheel gap, or spacer recommendations?Originally posted by Mystikal View PostCan't answer you without knowing how much spacer you need to clear the caliper. And you'll have to figure that out on your own.
I ended up with 5mm spacers. Also, the wheels are et22 not 20 as previously mentioned.

i might get another set of wheels 16x8.5 et25 square. do i need front & rear spacer? i guess the best tire size 205/45. TIAOriginally posted by Mystikal View PostYes, 12-15mm all around would be nice.
if i don't run rear spacer the inner barrel will rub? i am planing to buy bigger lip for the rear .5" to 1" more. lmk what your input here. thanks for all the help. :)
