    Tires are 205/50 and 225/50

    The rear may be a little overkill could I run this with et0 front and rear?

    I would prefer a 225/45 out back

    Can I do that without flares?

    To fit 15x9 225/45 rear you'll need +25 offset. For the fronts +10 is good. If you back the rears down to 205/50 then you can run +15 rear.

      Will these wheels fit? Or is the offset completely wrong?

      Completely wrong.

        Thanks. I will run away! Its interesting how they advertise these as being for an E30.

          16x7 you want something around ET20, should be a pretty flush fitment.

            Last question I promise.

            If this guy can fit 15x9 et 4 with 225/50 all around, I should be able to fit 15x9 et10 with 225/45 all around right?

            Obviously I will need to do some rolling/pulling

              Dear wheel fitment gods, here is what I have:

              Fr - 17x7.5 et38
              Rr - 17x8 et20

              Im doing a turbo build at the moment and want as much rubber as I can get on the ground. What am I looking at as far as tire size and spacers needed? Im lowered on Billies and BavAuto springs (probably Eibach). I'm all stock other than M3 offset CAB up front. I am fine with rolling the/mild pull, just nothing crazy. I'm also not interested in dumped/hella flush.

              THANKS IN ADVANCE!

                I am very lazy and do not what to go through 400 pages to find my specs. Though these are pretty common and I'm sure they are only a couple pages back. Then again I am lazy.

                16x9 et20 stock suspension. What tires should I run? I don't want to stretch. Normal size will be fine for me. Thanks again for your services.

                  Does anyone know the lowest offset I can go on TRM C1 15x7 with 205/50 tires, I have a moderate drop and the current ET is 25

                  EDIT: with no fender modification/rolling

                    Regardless of what the claims are there's no possible way 15x9 +4 225/50 fits.

                    Your setup is on the ragged edge of what works, but it's possible if you're not too low.

                      Your rear offset is going to limit you to 215/40 tires unfortunately. If you want wider you'll need to find +25 to +30 rear wheels (for the 235/245 fitment option).

                      That said, with a 15mm front spacer and 215/40s all around that is still a solid setup if you buy the right tires.

                        Anything wider than 8" requires stretching to fit an E30. Are you trying to fit those wheels all around? It's an aggressive look that requires narrow tires.

                          +15 is safe

                              Funny enough the wheel company contacted me. They ended up having the original size I wanted. So now the question is what tires for 16x8 et25 all around?

                                Better. You'll need 3mm front spacers (can keep your original bolts) and the largest tire you can fit is a 225/45/16.
