looking for tire recommendations for Kopis, 17" regular offset. car is on H&R race with Koni adjustables, front fenders rolled pretty flat, rears are a little less rolled

[Hussbuss]

I've come back with more questions... 16x8 et25 with 5mm spacer running 205/50 or 16x8 et15 no spacer, same tire. I also have plans on lowering 1.3" using H&R Sport springs and Bilstein sport's.. Any problems? Also, what Hub bore should I be looking out for?

[Mystikal]

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

Shouldn't need to.

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

You'll need about 8mm to get them off the front struts. Rears will bolt up fine. I would go with 12mm front spacers and widen them to 9j (+18 before spacer) and 10j (+6 before spacer). Offset will be 6 all around after spacers. That's SUPER aggressive, and about the limit for the chassis. You could dial 0.5" out of each for a more everyday setup too.

The +15 would rub with that size tire. +25 with or without the spacers will not (they're necessary on the fronts). 57.1mm bore.

[jrobie79]

That seems to be the consensus size, any tire recommendation? 100% street driven

195/45 fronts would be a more equal stretch and diameter in terms of matching the rears. Otherwise the fronts will be taller than the rears (which looks weird).

Okay, I'm new to e30's. I'm wanting as meaty of a setup as possible under stock fenders for now.

Let's say I'm doing 16x8 up front, and 16x9 in the rear, what offset will I need in order to run 235's, or 245's if possible in the back, and 225's up front?

Total noob here to wheels and tires in general. I have an 89 325i and am looking at Mercedes Lorniser wheels - 16x8 et32 5x112. I know I'll need adapters to fit my e30's 4x100 pattern but is this considered a "good" offset for my car?

[Malcolm206]

88 vert lowered on Bilstein sport springs and shocks, offset M3 CABs, running 15x8 Et22 Konig Tweak'd with 205/50r15, no fender roll or flare. Can I run 3mm spacers up front without rubbing? And can I use 205/55r15s in the future without rubbing? TYIA

I will be having a set of 17x7.5 et45 laying around in a bit. Wondering if possible and how hard these would be to set up on a 89 cabriolet? Any input would be appreciated.

[mazen0822]

I have a 91 318i convertible, I'm looking to fit these wheels on the car. 15X8 VarrStoen V2 Wheels Not sure what OFFSET to get they are available in et0,15,25. What are your thoughts. Im looking to run 225/45-15 RS3 tires with it. The car has Koni yellow's and Vogtland springs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Style 5 17x8 ET20

Just bought some style 5s in the above size for my E30 318is

The guards have been rolled and pulled.

I'm thinking 225/45/17 tyres up front and 245/40/17 rear.

Will they fit?

I should also add that the car has KW V2 coilovers installed
