    Wheel/Tire Fitment

    So I know you can fit 0 offset like the sportmax 002s. I really like the look. Do I have to run 195 tires?

    I have a set of 205 tires and was hoping to run those... possible?

    215 40 16 is the biggest you can run realy. its my setup now. i also have pretty rolled fenders and stiff suspension so keep that in mind.

        205/50 is still undersized. 205/45 is WAY undersized.


        Keep it slideways!!

          E-rich is talking about his 16's, 205/45-16 isn't off by far

          15x8 sportmax with 205/50-15 will work fine, although rolled fenders and a decently stiff suspension is definately a must.

            yes i was speaking of 16s. 205-50-15s work nicely. not a whole lot of stretch.

                et0 is a bit much, et5 is the max I'd go.

                  I really like the look and for atleast a year I will not be slamming my e30 like the one in egk2's sig :)

                  Just a mild drop. Suspension travel should more than take up the extra space :)

                  Thanks guys!

                    its funny cuz if i remember right you were running 215-40-17s on your turbo car, correct? im running 215-40-16s on an 8. i personally dont like having an inch to two inches between my tire And fender. doesnt look undersized to me.

                        IMHO unless the car is slammed, pokey wheels look extra goofy.
                        Example:

                          I don't know what you're trying to say but 215/40/17 is the correct size for an E30.

                              Nah, too much gap in the front with a saggy rear. I agree with the car
                              needs to be slammed for the euro look.
