ASK ALL WHEEL/TIRE FITMENT QUESTIONS HERE - The Official Wheel/Tire Fitment Thread

Kinda new to the E30 thing so forgive me if this is a dumb question.

But what would I have to do to get these on my car? They are 16x8 ET23 with 5x120 bolt pattern. I know I would have to get some form of adapter or redrill. any help would be cool. also my car is on H&R racing springs.

Hey, id like to eventually do 16x9 wheels all around, but I heard depending on the offset it will hit the strut. what are the ideal offsets for that size wheels?

I'm getting an e30 soon that has the 5 lug swap from an e36 m3 and was curious what the widest width and offset wheels I can run are. The car also has pretty aggressive fender flares. For shits and giggles I'm looking at a staggered pair of 17x10.5 et26 17x11 et19 BBS rs wheels posted here http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=320782

Would need small front spacers, rear might just clear. Can't comment on fitment otherwise because flares are a total variable.

[Mystikal]

Which will fit? What is needed to ensure proper fitment? What size tire do you recommend?
Both sets are 4x100

16X8 73.1CB ET15
16X8 73.1CB ET25

+15 is ideal. 205/45 fits perfect.

Will I need to roll fenders or they should fit fine. Wanting it as flush as possible with it being as low as possible. Static. Also, with a 5 lug set up is there any way to make the BMW style 66 wheels fit?

E30 M3 5-lug, yes. E36 5-lug, not really, they poke too much IMO.

[Mystikal]

Anybody have pics of a 16x8 et20 with a 205/50 on it, or the same size with a 225/50? I'm not a huge fan of stretch and like the fact that the 225 is a fat tire with plenty of grip, but I'm not sure as to how much rolling they'll actually need, which concerns me.

Straight up don't fit. 225/45 fits with a fender roll.

borbet type t 16x7.5 et35 front and 9x16 et30 car is on h&r sports what do i need for a proper fit have no problem rolling my fender.i like the wide look thank in advance 'ras

20mm spacers front and rear. 205/45 is ideal for the rears, you can use the same or a rare 195/45 if you really want the staggered look.

Offset too low for adapters without rubbing. Re-drill or E30 M3 5-lug.

+12 all around

+15 is ideal. 205/45 fits perfect.

I want the car pretty low, and as flush as possible setup on coilovers. Do I need any spacers, and/or fender roll?

Yes, with a 5mm front spacer.

Yes, with a 5mm front spacer.

Thanks for the reply. Do I have to roll my fenders?

Jay, here is an unconventional 1 for you.

I came across a set of steel 16" 6.5j et50
I intend having them banded.
as they are now do they clear my suspension?
and if they do, how wide would you say I could go with them. I am hoping for 10j and 9.5j. Am I pushing it
