Deciding between two combos for an 86 325es lowered, not slammed. I don't want to roll fenders.

15 x 7 et15 - 205 55 15 front 225 50 15 rear

or

15 x 7 et20 - 205 55 15 front 225 50 15 rear

or some other combo of tires? I can't mix the offset, wheels are bought in sets of 4.

Goal is as flush as possible with a meaty look in back since it has the high arches. Fronts will probably look meaty with 205's, unless 225s would fit with no rub at full turn. I hate the stretched look, but don't mind a bulge to protect the rims from curbs.

Even with the +20 version, you may have to roll the rear fenders to not rub with passengers. I'd suggest sticking to those ones. 225s fit on the fronts without issue.

15x8 +20 225/50 on my 86 325e . car wont be all slammered out, just on some lowering springs

Needs a rear roll.

Would I have any issues running 17x8 Style 19's ET20 on 235/45/17 on my E36 M3 at stock ride height? Would it look weird at all?

Just looking for a couple quick answers. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Any thoughts on fitting 15x8 et 7 all around on an 89, with a mild roll front and rear already?

On BC coils and can adjust camber front and rear; I think the only worry is fitting a tire around 205 (dont want to go smaller) and possible caliper interference. The wheels lips are 82mm, so I'm betting its close to the caliper.

Thanks,
G

Won't work, it would rub near constantly. Only choice for those is 205/215s, and it would look very strange unless the car was low.

Would look and work great with 205/50s.

[gkurey]

Outstanding...can't wait to share the result.

[gkurey]

Would 205/55 be a good idea at all or is it definitely a 205/50 in my case?

Hey mystikal

do you think a 16x9-5, and a 16x10-5 would fit without having to pull the fenders and about -3- -4 degrees of camber? i don't think it would, just looking for an answer from someone who knows alot about wheel fitment on e30's

205/50 for sure.

Wouldn't work. You want the front and rear offsets near +10 for 9s/10s.

What tire size are you thinking?

[Mystikal]

What tire size are you thinking?

With those offsets, 205/45 & 225/40 or 205/45 & 215/45

I have a 91 318ic with H&R drop spring, 1 dead coil cut off and e90 drop hats. I'm picking up a set of style 19's (17"). What I was wondering is, whats going to be involved in making these wheels fit, what size wheel adapters will I need (15mm,18mm,20mm,etc.). What size tires can I run? Will I have to roll the hell out of my fenders? Any help would be great!

The smallest adapters available, which is usually 18mm. Yes, lots of fender rolling and 205/40 tires. It'll still probably rub a little bit.
