I'm running the Kamotors ultrawides. What is the widest tire (245, 275, or 315) and ideal wheel dimensions width and ET? Looking to run a 17in.
Currently running style 5s with 215s and 23mm adapter in the rear and 18mm in the front. I will remain 4x100. 1989 325is. H&R race springs w/billy sports.
Thank you for all your help!

Edit: the reason I ask is that there are a few other threads here where you've said the size actually fits with 205/45 but will need a roll so i'm confused that you feel it won't fit at all.
ok...I reread it. You're saying the 205/50 won't work. apologies, and thanks again:)Last edited by keefy6; 03-23-2015, 11:29 AM.My old Style 5 Thread / My Swap

And you're speaking fine English, I've gotten worse questions from people born and raised in America. BTW if you follow your national basketball team I love Jonas Valančiūnas, he plays for Toronto in the NBA. Anywho.

Proper 16x10 rear rims ?
Looking for square look, I know 16x9 et0 fit perfect without rubbing nor need to roll rear panels, so wondering if 16x10 et14 is the proper rim to fit 245/45/16 tires.
"Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an
inner rim which is 26.7mm closer to the suspension strut.
The outer rim will poke out 1.3mm less than before."
never mind strut clearance as is for rear axel, Visually looks like there's plenty of room without having to modify upper spring perches.

What you think ?
Aloha,

Hi guys,
I have been lurking for awhile now but is still a complete noob when it comes to wheels. I have the stock steel wheels with the hub covers from the old owner when I got the car. Based on my research, these stock steelies are 14x5.5 et35. I spotted a set of bottlecaps for cheap and would like to know if they are interchangeable. Based on some threads on here, i have read that the bottlecaps can possibly rub against the tie rods. I know that the bottlecaps are 14x6 et35. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks,

clarity
So, I've done some searching but can't find exactly the right info i need. I recently acquired a set of wheels with brand new tires for free from a buddy of mine. They are 16x7.5 et35 and 16x9 et30. Tires are 215/40r16. From what I've found most people say I'd need between a 10mm and 15mm spacer for the front. But when I put them on to check clearances I only barely rub the shock tower. Making me think a 3-5mm spacer would work. And for the rear I haven't been able to find much at all. Some say 10mm spacer, some say only needs rolling to clear. I am planning on rolling front and rear anyways so that's not a big deal. And my car is currently on JOM coilovers so I can raise or lower as much as needed. I'm not looking for what spacers I need for "hellaflush" or "stance". Solely looking for what I need to get them mounted. Thank you r3v.
