Hi guys! Got 5 lug swap on my e30 with e36 m3 front and e36 compact rear, so have a question. Now installed 18" 8.5 9.5 et40 barracudas, front 225 40 18, rear 255 35 18, picture attached, so having no issues with them, rear fenders rolled, Bought new 17"Oz futura, 9j et 38 front and 10.5j et38 rear, picture attached. Front I think will fit well, so questions about rear. Will the inner part fit or not and will reach shock or trailing arm? Anyone with setup like this?Last edited by BMWfanz; 02-01-2016, 03:56 AM.

- 318ti complete trailing arms
The car is a 87' 318i euro specs (high arches) sitting on M sport suspension (OEM option). Will be running H&R race and bilstein sport later if it fits.
What do you guys think about this ?
Thanks in advance for help

Saw some 215/40/16 dint look for 215/45 yet, would that fit, or should I go 205/50-55/16? Want to keep the odometer close to accurate. Will be on ground controls and i don't want to be slammed. Looking for no to little stretch if possible.

Got a question for you mate.
17x8 ET20 - square set up. The guards are both rolled and pulled. The car is lowered on KE V2.
What is the best tyre combo I can fit on there?
215/40/17 f, 245/35/18 r
225/40/17 f, 245/35/18 r
Or anything else you suggest ����
215/40s are the largest that will fit without rubbing, front or rear.

I need to do it for all wheels right, not just the front ones?

Originally posted by MTD View PostYep the wheels aren't centered. The adapter I got to center the wheel is a little loose. It's 73mm but the wheel is 74mm. Japan racing needs to up their game and make their wheels a little more perfect. I'll have to make a custom adapter from aluminum.

Originally posted by Mystikal View PostYeah, seen that happen a lot. Throw some tape in there for now while you make the new rings, 1mm is nothing. I once used layered electrical tape to close a 72.6-80mm gap on all four wheels before a 2000mi road trip. Worked like a charm. You should do it for all 4.

So I'm thinking about getting some 15x8 Advanti storm S1 wheels with 205/50r15 kumho tires. I'm on h&r race springs with bilstein sport shocks and struts. My fenders are rolled to accommodate for the 16x8 (xxr 530) wheels and 225/50r16 bridgestone tires I have on now. There is still a good bit of rubbing with the 16s on. Do you think I'll have any trouble with the 15s and smaller tires? Thanks.sigpic
