ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment T...

Hey how's it going I was wondering what you recommend for my 91 325i it's on ground controls with shortened struts. The rims I got are. 16x 8 ET 25 all around. The front rubs the caliper slightly. What do you suggest? And I got 205/40/16 tires

[Bimmerthusiast]

225/50 on a 16x8. Will that have fender issues even at a slight drop? I will have coilovers with it so height can be adjusted. I just want to know if 225s are way too wide for the e30. Thanks!

^ you're going to need to post the offset of the wheels to get a clear answer.


225's are not too wide with the right offset.

Does anyone have pics of 205/55 on 16x8 +25?

I'm getting 16x8+25 and I know all you guys say 225/45 is ideal for this but the only cheap 225/45/R16 tire on tirerack are the ZII for $512.

Whereas the 205/55 V12 evo k110s are $368.

Looking for a normal daily/slightly agressive setup. No massive stretch and no huge 4x4 thick setup. Will the 205/55 look okay? Thanks!

Hey Mystikal,

Spoke too soon I think. Now that I am searching for 205/45 for front use I can't seem to find a matching tire to my existing 215/45 rear Kumho Ecsta XS. It seems like I may either have to go mismatched tires (read tons of Don't do it as it will result in bad handling characteristics-opinions) so I'm hesitant. The car is a vert so it does not see track duty but I do drive spiritedly on mountain drives and I do drive the car pretty frequently save for winter.

With this in mind, do you recommend I go mismatch or not and if so what tire would you suggest in 205/45?

Thanks again!

Mismatch.

[Mystikal]

Will be using z3m axles. Suggestions on something that will work without spacers? Going on superchargerd s52 e30 so traction is important.

Not sure. Z3M axles aren't a common mod and I have no data on exact numbers.

Running 16x8's 0 offset all around...love the way they sit, but I'm not a fan of stretching tires. I want a little bit of a meaty tire. I have Falken Ziex 612's on the rear in a 225/50 and its a little too much meat in the back. Having trouble finding some 45 sidewalls that aren't R comps.

Ideas, opinions

Buy wheels that fit E30s. 16x8 +0s don't, IMO.

[Mystikal]

Will a 225/45 fit on a 16x9.5 ET5 work? I've got the lips on the inside of my arches flattend to the back of the arch lip and the bumps are also flattened.

Also, not keen on stretching tires to much and like a bit of meat in them.

Alternatively, how about 16x9 et9 with a 225/45?

Nope and nope.

No. 205/55 is an inch too tall for an E30.

Thank you so much.

They do when you have fender flares....

What is a good tire size for

16X8 20MM offset 4X100 57.2 CB (ESM 002R)

Car is not dropped any. Just need a good long lasting preferably meaty tire

Thoughts?
