Late model e30, IE3's and Billy sports with one coil cut off the front, rolled front fenders, slightly pulled and rolled rears. Need to know the biggest tire I can fit with some 16x8 et 12 wheels, thanks.

Probably 215/45.

Hi Guys,
I've looked all over this thread and can't find my exact situation. I have a '93 vert with M52 on Bilstein Sports and H&R Sport springs. Putting 16x8 ESM-002r (+20 offset) on. I want the biggest tire that won't rub and without fender roll. I don't like the stretched look. What's best? Also will I need spacers anywhere? Thanks in advance!

205/50 no spacers.

hi guys im looking at a set of bbs rs rs174 which are 5x114. The offset is +33. Wheels are 16x7 i am currently stock w the 4x100 set up. the rubber on the wheels are 225/50/16. im wondering with a set of adapters and without rolling fenders can this be done or am i going to be rubbing like crazy. i have a stock 88 vert which is getting ground controls next month as well. any info would be fantastic . thanks again guys

18mm adapters and 205/50 tires. Won't work with existing rubber.

So i bought ix weeves when i had my ix, now i have an 87 i. I tried to put the ix weeves on the i and it hit the front strut towers. These are ix offsets and im not sure what size of spacer i would need and how safe it is to use them on a daily. I need to figure this out fast as i have my studs on still and its now past the removal date here in oregon, and dont want or need a ticket. Please help. Tires are 205/55/r15

5mm front is all you need to clear. But they look terrible like that. 15mm front 20mm rear would be best.

Not really a fitment question, just how a tire will fit on the rim question.

I'm throwing together a 91 GTi for my wife as a surprise birthday present and need to get tires for the 16x7 wheels. OE rolling diameter is 22.6, I was looking at (recommended by local VW shop) 195/50r16 or 205/45r16. I know they both will be slightly larger in diameter than stock but which would be better for the car?

I know it's a dub in question but I figure I'd get a better response here than stretch dubs anonymous.

Thanks

I'd go shorter on that car. 195/45 or 205/40.

Hey there guys I have a question....

I have brought wheels to fit my 1989 318i done a 5 lug swap running e30 m3 front struts....In the back using a e30 m3 hubs but don't know a good coilover system that works...(and don't know if I'm going to make it a true system as well)

As for wheel specs ill be running 18x8 in the front with 20mm offset and in the rear 18x9 24mm offset...doing a brake upgrade as well but don't know what to run as well for clearing the rim and performance with my s54 swap

I'll appreciate if you guys can also tell me what's a good size tire to run with them..was thinking of 255/55/18

Diff is a 3.73 lsd with a 420g Getrag 6 speed

CHEERS GUYS

The wheels are too low of an offset for what you're looking for. You will be limited to 215/35 and 225/35 tires.

15x7.5 et 22.5 OZ Fittipaldis

How does 225/45R15 sound?

Perfect.

Any FIRST HAND experience with 205/60r15 on Euroweaves?

Yes I know they are a larger diameter then stock. Yes I know 205/55r15 is the equivalent size I should run.

Here's my setup. Think I have a chance of making these fit?

• Euroweaves (15x7 - ET 24)
• Early model (high rear arches)
• Mild drop with H&R Sports.
• 4x 15mm spacers I can run if needed.
• E90 drop hats in the front, which I can take out.
• E30 M3 offset CABs (which push the front wheels forward)

I'm ok with mild rubbing at full lock.

It would definitely rub the wheel wells during sharp turns, and might catch a front fender with the right bump/angle combination. Just buy the proper size, IMO.

Early model, looking to fit the widest meats possible on my fzero1 fatlaces. 15x8.5 et15 fronts, 15x9.5 et15 rears. Willig to roll fenders, not looking to pull fenders.

205/50 is the limit. If 215/45 existed (pretty sure it doesn't, didn't check) that would work for the rears. Otherwise that's a VERY aggressive wheel setup.

New to bmw e30 family i have e30 325i with 5 lug conver. and i want to see if i can fit 17x8.5 et 25-30 on all 4 corners and how big tires. Sorry if im asking same question. THX

[Badabing86]

Ok forgive me if I sound completely lots but just trying to get an understanding of bore offset and what not for the E30. I am wanting to run a 17 inch wheel on an '88 325 . I understand the bolt pattern is 4X100. But where I am confused is the bore hub. Here take these wheels http://www.ebay.com/itm/17-4x100-4x1...RW1dzV&vxp=mtr

Would these wheels need spacers in order to fit?
or these ?
