    But I'm using 235/40/17 with spacers right now

        And for my snow tires can I use 225/55/17 and raise the car a bit?

          What 16 inch rim, tire, et, would you recommend for the E30 front only. I am looking for as much lip as I can get with no rub lock to lock, no mods, roll or spacers. Car is on h and r sports.

          Thanks......................................... G.

            Not a chance.

                Would appreciate your advice here - I'm trying to estimate what size spacers I would need for a 15x10 square setup on a late model E30. The intent is to use 245 width tires. I think they would only be necessary for the front, do you have a recommendation?

                I'm aware that fender pulling will be necessary and possibly flares. Trying to see what I can pull off with just fender pulling.

                Thanks Mystikal!

                    In the market to buy some wheels for my 325i 1989 race car, which has 400hp soon to be more.
                    The car is sitting on H&R race springs.
                    Im looking to run 245/40/17 or 255/40/17 allround
                    I'm looking to go 17x9 (with flares)
                    I like these

                    I'm planning to run huge big brakes aswell.
                    What offset would be best to purchase.


                    can you run 255/40/17 on and e30 with KAMOTORS standard flares

                        Kind Sir, what offsets for 17x8 and 245/40/17 with rolled fenders and maybe pulled a bit, lowered 50-60mm

                        Edit: btw the big attraction for this size is hand-me-down r spec tires from a racer dad's workshop supports.

                          I'm sure it's been covered already but I can't seem to find it. Need to know what's size tires and spacers to use with 16x8.5 et32 Salad shooters. I don't want to roll fenders

                          Whatever.......

                            245 15" tires exist? -5 front, +10 rear is necessary. Flares, too.

                              Depends on front camber, but +5 front -5 rear is a good start.

                                Get them in +15. Should work with the flares.
