I was thinking that the 195s might be too narrow for the 7 inch rim?

So the end goal is to fit a 235/40 or 245/40 wide tire in the rear without running flares (preferably 245). Obviously with 17's the tire choices are much better.
So if I go to 17, I need an 8-8.5 wide wheel. What would you say is the correct offset for them? Was thinking 17x8 et25(235 tire) and if 17x8.5 et30(235 or hopefully 245)?

Will my rear fit without hitting shock and any other things inside? What about rubbing?

Originally posted by MatRacer View PostHi! First, thanks for all the advice you are giving! Pretty awesome!
Wanted to fit 15x8 et20 With 225/45/15 G-Force Rival or Ventus RS3... I know that it fits. BUT, I could have access to a nice deal on 15x8 et0 with 225/45/15 Ventus RS3. I know its impossible on stock fenders, but my fenders are rolled and pulled and I shaved a bit of the interior exceeding sheet metal... For reference, Here is the status of the rear fenders on my 89 325ì with 17x10 et20:
Also, this is where the 235/40/17 Toyo RA1 (which runs pretty wide) contact the fender (on the 17x10):
So do you think its near possible or I should forget it right away?
I know that funfgan is running 15x8 et5 final with RS3... but 5mm can do a big difference...
Thanks again!
Note that front is also rolled and pulled...

Originally posted by Stanley Rockafella View PostDoes hub bore size difference cause improper balancing?
the reason why I ask, is because I recently put a set of steel 14 inch stock e30 wheels and tires on my e30 and it rides and steers like a DREAM!!! Never since I've owned this car has it performed so smoothly and quietly (could also be the tires helping too).
Those wheels are Borbet type C's and while they look nice and all, I really want to go to a smaller wheel size.
Any wheels being made new that have the same 57.1mm centre bore and are 4x100 and 15 inch?
thanks in advance

Tire Size Options
1. 205/60 - 15 (seem to be more avail in this size)
2. 205/55 - 15 (not many avail in this size)
Not looking for a track car - but a sporty daily driver. Will the 205/60s fit? Recommendations for tires? Are there other options I should consider?
Thanks in advance for your dedication to this thread.
