        318is with JOM coilovers. Set of 16x9 ET20 with 225/40 tyres. Would fit or need spacers?

          Ok, sorry if this has been answered already, but will 17x8 et20 Style 32's fit/clear an E30 with 99 E36 M3 full front supsension/brakes and full M roadster/coupe rear suspension brakes? Looking to buy a set local to me and just want to confirm if it's feasible.

          I plan on running GC's setup: http://www.ground-control-store.com/.../II=812/CA=242
          Thanks!

              Too aggressive IMO.

                Fronts will not fit with those tires. Also need 8-10mm front spacers to clear the struts. 205/45 tires are ideal.

                  The fronts would be flush/poking and the rears will be sunken in slightly. You can balance this out with spacers, but 205/40 tires are your limit.

                    205/45 225/40 if the offsets are perfect. 195/45 215/40 otherwise.

                      205 tires are the limit all around or just at the front? I'll be running about -2° to -3° camber on the front. No more than that though.

                          Just the front. For the rears you can fit a 215/40.

                              I'm assuming this is without a roll and slight pull? Will be doing both. Regardless, I need more meat for S54 power. I would like to fit at least a 235 in the rear.

                              Can 17x9's with a proper offset( ~+35) work on the front?

                                But would 215/40/16 be good both, rear and front? Or better to use 45 height?
                                I try to get the same wide tyres, otherwise the front look stretch and rear not.
                                Thanks
